One of the hobbies I want to improve on is cooking. When I was a kid, I used to watch my mom in the kitchen prepare satisfying meals for our small family. I said 'small' because I was the only child then. My father was working overseas and it was only me, my mom and my grandparents living in the house. My mom is a great cook. Or so I want to believe.
During the holidays or even just weekends then, my mom would cook everything from regular snacks to fancy dishes that I only get to try in restaurants or when there are special occasions. It was my mom who taught me how to cook, albeit indirectly. From watching how she held the ladle to how she serves the food she cooked on the plates, I eventually learned how to make my own meals. But it didn’t happen overnight. I had to ask her permission to let me cook when I got a bit older and that was when my adventure in the kitchen begun.
Now I can cook batches and batches of food for my family and yet still have the appetite to eat the all the food I have prepared. However, ever since I started juggling two jobs and some side lines, work has gotten in the way of my cooking. If my memory serves me right, last Christmas, I was able to make some chocolate chip cookies using the good recipe I got online. I turned them into Holiday Food Gifts which my friends appreciated and loved.
This Holy Week, food will again be part of the scene, so make sure you have a lot. You can opt to call delivery or cook your own. Our food choices may have been limited by religion (i.e. the no meat rule) but I’m sure we can still enjoy cooking with our family as we renew our faith and remember the Lord’s great love for mankind this season of Lent.
Happy cooking!
