Look what's cooking.

Yesterday, I made Japanese curry rice and miso soup for dinner. It was pretty good and I was super full from it.

Honestly, I don't really cook much because I grew up in a home where the kitchen was my mum's domain and she didn't really want us messing with it. She also didn't want us to get hurt so that's fair.

But as I grew older, I realised that I love food. I love eating them and I also would like to create them. 

I don't get much opportunity to cook much because well, I'm busy and I'm good at procrastinating.

But yesterday, I made these from scratch. 

I'll be honest. It wasn't easy. Everything was very unfamiliar to me.

Thankfully it was just potatoes and carrots but cutting them was not easy. I was worried about getting cut by the knife pretty often. I'm also not sure if the knife sharpness was an issue, I definitely had difficulty with cutting the carrots.

Luckily, it doesn't really matter what shapes the carrots and potatoes are cut in.

I just realised that when it comes to making food, there's a lot that I really don't know when it came to handling the meat and vegetables. Like, do I keep this? Do I throw this? Is this safe? What would my mum do? 

I really didn't know so I just did my best, doing what I think my mother would do.

But cooking is something that is important to me because I love to eat. 

So I feel is that I would need to learn up more on how to handle the meat and vegetables.

I know I'm discovering cooking a little later in life. I'm not that old but I'm in my mid twenties. But then again, age is not really important either. Just go ahead and discover while enjoying yourself.

But I didn't really make from scratch anyway. I had the curry paste and the miso paste.

Honestly, there's a lot of effort that goes with cooking from cleaning the vegetables to down to actually cooking it in the pot.

But it was fun.

And at the end of the day, I was rewarded when I put it in my mouth and it tasted good. That really made my day.
