Cooking 101

Alright. I told myself I'll start actual cooking this week and I have. The house hasn't burnt down and my fingers are still intact.(I cut my finger last time we made fried wantans at the medic girls' place >.<)

It was a simple dish made with pre-made thai curry sauce so that made it much easier. Tossed in some meat and potatoes and some brinjals (it's called aubergines here but some call it eggplants..wierd) I had to keep on adding water to keep it from burning and I had to fish out the brinjals or risk them being disentegrated coz the bloody meat and potatoes took so long to cook! Argh. But I have to say, there's a sense of pride of doing something for yourself by yourself.. at least till the point, the food goes into your mouth. It tasted slightly above edible at least and I could swear the sauce tasted better when I was tasting it while cooking it. Furthermore, I was kinda impatient and the food tasted slightly raw. Medium-rare in fact. >.<

Ah well, with cooking this bad, it can only get better. Still months away from cooking a decent candlelight dinner if the need ever arises. *shrugs*
