I have been actually down the past two days but I'm on the road to recovery.
Hubby was actually a big help, without him knowing it.
Last week and just last night, he commended me for my cooking :) Last week, he was telling our son, Liam, that "Mama has greatly improved on her cooking. Before, she only knew how to cook meatloaf, egg, or hotdog!" The nerve! Hahaha
I told him I knew how to cook even before we got married, it's just that I was not given the chance to practice it since my Mama or his Mom was just around, there were many good restos back in Manila, or he cooks more often than me, unlike here in Sydney. :)
Last night, he was looking at the Woolies catalogue and suddenly said: "Naiingit na ako kay Mama, ang dami mo ng specialties e! (I'm already jealous of Mama because you already have so many specialties) You have Roasted Pork, Pork Crackling, Spicy Mussels, Sukiyaki, Sizzling Tofu with Shitake Mushrooms, etc."
I was actually surprised with that comment. And I was a bit kilig :) It was actually one of the reasons why I'm feeling a lot better now :)
He is actually the better cook between the two of us. If I cook something new, he'll be my first and worst critic. I actually sometimes don't want to tell him how I cooked something because when he tries cooking it, it ends up tasting better hehehe :) And when I cook and he starts meddling, we end up arguing hehehe He knows that when he starts meddling when I'm the one cooking, I get mad and turnover the entire cooking to him! So it would be disastrous if we both join a cooking competition! LOL!
Seriously, we have different styles in the kitchen. I want my kitchen clean, while he on the other hand can cook even if there are a lot of clutter in the kitchen. I estimate, he follows the recipe and measurements by the book. He researches and is more serious when he cooks, while me, on the other hand, just goes with the flow. Get the picture?
I think hubby is just missing cooking. I think it is also an avenue for him to unwind and relax and serve us. He just got busy looking after the cars at home.
Well this weekend, we're trying out something new. We'll try quails and I'll give him that chance to again show his cooking skills :)
Looking forward to my big burp this weekend! :)
