I have decided to make a cooking blog. I am not much of a cook, but I think this will help me keep track of errant recipes and mistakes (such as boiling water scalds, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT put your hand in the pot twice!)--can't make the same ones over and over again. It gets tiring.
I have made friends with a Chinese woman who cooks like Pavarotti sang. No recipes. No tasting. Nothing. She just chopped and put everything in and everything tasted of heaven. Surprisingly, when I mentioned certain Chinese dishes I was familiar with: Lumpia Shanghai, Siomai, Siopao, Tikoy, Pancit Canton (both she and her husband thought I was referring to the city), Mister Ho Chia, she didn't know any of them. Now why is that?
I cooked sweet and sour bola bola today. Sweet won. The bola bola was tasteless. I don't think I can cook like Pavarotti just yet.
