When a basket of bread as shown above costs a bomb, it is time to cook. Many of us go to that dining place where it's a little special for that special occasion, be it a buffday celebration, an anniversary or to celebrate a triumph. There are others who goes to restaurants to give it a try and to live that life every once in a while. However, cooking can be twice as romantic or comedic or it may just end up a disaster.Any of you remember that first time you cooked for your partner? I bet it was something special even if it was done on a day with no special occasion at all. I was watching Oprah whilst having my dinner and this episode was all about rising costs of food and how American families order take out all the time.
Can you believe a stay home mom who occasionally works as a sub at the local school only knows how to cook 3 dishes? Yes, you heard me right, chicken, spaghetti and rice; they eat it 3 to 4 times a week. How boring is that? Her children eats microwaved food day in, day out. Now, I would have labeled that as irresponsible but then again, whom am I to judge?
The usual excuse will be "oh, I do not have time to cook" or "I have no skills"; bollocks. If Yan can cook, so can you. I wonder how many of you remembered that show. All it takes is a little imagination if you will. Cook for yourself first if you are worried it may not turn out good. While it may not be possible to make a "pau" as cute as those pictured above, it is absolutely possible to make something as shown below.
I am saying it can be done because I have done it before, made a burger patty from minced meat and marinated it from scratch. and Hey! My "PMP" can give me a testimony for the taste. Perfect!
