Home-cooked meal

During my secondary school's days, my favourite class is the Home Economics class. Class usually starts with the teacher giving a brief of the theme for that day's class. Then she would demostrate the cooking technique. Then with our partner, we will start to practice the techniques by cooking up a storm. After washing up, we will sit down and do food-tasting by sharing our food. If there is excess, we will share it with other classmates and the male classmates will always be gobbling it down.

During exam, we have to plan the meal based on the theme and I enjoy planning the meal, listing out the ingredients and cooking methods. Of all the classes, this is the one that is easiest as we don't have to study as we can bring our receipe books into class. When eating out in restaurants, I would observe how a dish is prepared and the ingredients that goes into it.

Recently, I had the opportunity of preparing some home-cooked meal for K and the boys. I made the shrimp wantons and plan for the week's dinner. It is nice to be able to sit down for dinner and chat with K. It is also nice to see J enjoying the soup and have him making comments like "What soup is this, Mummy?" or "Mmm...what is that smell?...It's curry, I like it!".
