| | the week's been rather slow with 2 of my colleagues and my manager off to hong kong for paid vacation/training... but it was the discovery made at home which makes my week highlight-able... due to the fact that my carpool mates weren't available, i had to drive on my own to work... +ves: can get up later, can come home earlier, flexible schedule, independent, can go to the stores or anytime i want... -ves: the parking and gasoline alone cost me rp 200k/ week  ! enough to override all the good points and convince me not to drive on my own!!!
well, the few days that i was able to come home by 6.30 have relight the chef spirit in my heart again... it was a long long time ago since i last made an extensive proper dinner (fried rice and instant noodles don't count!) the last time i cooked from scratch was when i was preparing dinner for my caregroup back in lafayette or when i was trying up a new recipe in kokomo... and that was like 2003! in the 5 years between 2003 and the premarital condition, i am hardly in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes, and even if i was supposed to cook, in the end, the maid took over all the things i planned to do, and i was just there with my arms folded only to give instructions.... but the last few days were different... since i am unable to stop by my parents house, and dut's parents are away, it is crucial for our survival that i prepare dinner, otherwise we'd die of starvation (ok, that's a bit exaggerated)... so i was there in MY kitchen, 0 maid present, reliving the joy of cooking again, and it was fun... i admit that it's not always cheaper to cook on my own coz rp 10k can get your stomach full, but home cooking is a luxury nowadays! and i'm not talking about all the sharks fin or lobsters here... dut's taste buds aren't severely challenged and i dun have a recipe book to follow, but as long as i can whip up a decent meal (his decent meals consist of soup or a vegie and meat dish, no exquisite aesthetics required) he's satisfied... and there is nothing better for a wife than for her husband to enjoy her cooking! and believe it or not, i'm pretty happy if this becomes my lifestyle...
so there's the third post, actually there's still more stuffs running through my head, but 3 posts a day should be enough.... will do burst posts again soon...
