Learn how to cook friday

Today, good friday is PatriX's learn how to cook friday. A break from the office's requirement to "rot" in my assigned cubicle. Everyday is a new day of learning, and today, I decided to brush up on my culinary skills.

Shocking as it may sound, yes I can cook... compared to average males I excel way beyond instant noodles. Not bragging I had managed 3 dish, 1 soup for meals before... but that was so ancient ago. Anyway, I decided on spagetti where I proceed NTUC for all the necessary foodstuff early in the morning.

Arriving back, I dished out all the utensils n unpacked everything. I am sure I made quite a din (come on.. I am still a guy remember? Cannot navigate well in the kitchen) my mum climbed up from her morning nap to "save" me frm my confusion.

If anyone of you out there things she took everything over... you are HALF right. I made sure I was ard asking her all the questions and taking mental notes hahahaha. Ya, just cannot beat an experienced "chef" of 20 - 30 years where else I am nothing but a greenhorn when placed beside her. I am now ready trained and equipped with the knowledge to whip myself a meal of pasta! Not to be out done, I am gonna do it myself tomorrow before I post my master piece up ok!

That brought to another point... when I was learning from my mum, she seem to know everything and anything. Able to give all the answers to my dumbest questions and giving tips and explaination for every little actions! I am very impressed. Reflecting back, it was like me trying to coach her to to use the internet and email. After today, it is proven.... u cant win in everything or arena. Be it u are a highly paid neuro-surgeon but when called upon to mend a pair of shoes you just cant stitch as well as a lowly paid clobber.

Every one has their own worth and its because this society needs the variety of skills which makes everyone and anyone unique and impt. With the differences in everyone, thats when the colours of life comes in where together we will cast a rainbow that highlights the skies with the shower of blessings that falls upon us.

I will get my own bowl of pasta up! Its a promise to myself!
