I see, I cook

It is not easy coming up with ideas as to what to cook to eat on a daily basis. It must be nice to come home to a homecooked meal that someone else prepared. I like the idea of being surprised by what’s on the menu. By surprise I do not mean that the dish is new, it is just that you did not know what was being cooked that day. I’ll always remember an afternoon I came home from secondary school and found, to my utter delight, that mommy had made one of my favourite dishes – Chicken Curry. That was not weekday food in our home when I was growing up; I could not believe that there were no vegetables, fish, or shrimp on the menu that day. Happiness.
