Kitchen, Ref, Cupboard and my first adobo
More than a year ago, I hosted the Bible Study in my house. Filipino friends arrived with foods, disposable utensils, cups, drinks and EVEN salt and a dishwashing soap. Yes that’s how empty my kitchen was. When you open my refrigerator, you will see all sort of drinks mostly milk, softdrinks and orange juice but rarely food. If there’s food it will be bread, cheese, butter and jam.
Now, when you go to my kitchen I have all the basic for cooking: pans, utensils and even spices! I also now have dishwashing gel =)
Little by little I started cooking which I have literally done only once every month before. Dinner before means eating out or buying microwavable foods. I still eat out and buy microwavable food but not as much as before. Now I try to cook and eat in the house for breakfast and dinner. Sometimes I also cook for my pack lunch.
What trigerred it? Nothing really special but I also get tired of staying late almost every day. Now that I have French school Tuesday and Thursday, I try to make it a point to go home early on Monday and Wednesday to have proper rest. And most of the time during lunch time I have to study so I need a quick lunch then back to my books so a pack lunch is more advisable. And so far I’m enjoying the new lifestyle. Not to mention I’m saving a lot for not going out that much anymore.
Today, I cooked my first adobo. I searched the internet and voila saw the ingredients and procedure on cooking it. I was so excited while marinating it. And I’m so glad it turned out okay =)
Well I don’t have any food in mind that I want to cook soon. Maybe I will crave for something but as of the moment, I’m quite happy with my first adobo!
