爱心餐 - The Love Gourmet
Chicken macaroni soup first came to mind when i decided to give adr my cooking treat. i must salute his enthusiasm, as not many people are interested in gracie's cooking. hee :) this dish has always been the classic dish i would cook when i was in aussie land. some people ate this dish and nicknamed it, 'pasta in blend soup'. on other occasions, while cooking, my housemate would pop by the kitchen saying, "嘿! 你 减 肥 啊!!" everything on my plate always look blend, simple and unappetizing. well, perhaps it is in my family culture, i think - less sugar, less salt, no msg in the house. so it makes my cooking unbearable to some, simply blendy to others.

IF you have been friends with me for the longest time, you should consider yourself most fortunate to have tasted gracie's cooking. really, it is rare. perhaps i got my traumas from secondary school home economics class or maybe i just got sick of cooking since i started cooking when i was pretty young. i just didn't like the way my food taste. didn't really like the bother of preparing the ingredients and the process of cooking. and most of all, didn't feel comfortable cooking for people who wouldn't appreciate my food :)

somehow, all those dilemmas and fears just disappear when you know you're cooking for someone you love. i've grown to appreciate the goodness of spinning some dishes with loved ones in the kitchen. it would be nicer to know that you're putting in the extra amount of effort, because you are cooking for a loved one. the most fortunate ones who tried my cooking and have yet to complain diarrhea last night were two closest men of my life -joel & adr :)

you've gota ask these two men how i scored for my cooking! the only way to find out is to ask them the most important question, would you wana try gracie's cooking again?
