It's now 145AM in the morning. I bet you would never guess what I'm doing right now. I'm still awake, blogging...and looking for cooking recipes! Yes, you heard me right. Now before you go "OMFG....NICK COOKS??!!" and wonder whether or not if I can actually cook, well...I would ask anyone (who dares) to swing by my place to give it a try and be the judge. Honestly, if anyone knew me, I've always like to cook....just that I don't like to do the preparations and clean up after that (who would?) and many a times, I'm just lazy.
Ever since moving to my new place, I've always tried to "cook" something over the weekend because that's the only time I would have to "prepare-cook-clean". Cooking for me is always nostalgic as it always reminded me of my late mother. When I was a lot younger, I used to be a busy body whenever my mom cooks, so I guess I picked up a thing or two from her...at least on how to prepare certain things, ingredients, do's and don't's...
Well I may not be the world's greatest cook, but I definitely at the very least, know how to fry an egg properly and cook fried rice without actually burning the food or the house down (Hey, I know of some girls who can't even fry an egg or cook rice ok!).
Ok, now seriously...I'm trying to keep it simple as I only am cooking for myself...unless of course you want to come by and help me out. Last week, I experimented with some ingredients and I made come Garlic Chicken, Omelette and Stir Fried Vegetables. It's enough if you're just eating for one. So anyway, I'm now looking for new stuff to cook over the weekend.
So far, I'm thinking of trying to cook Paella which is a Spanish dish which consists of rice, chicken, seafood, vegetable, saffron and other spices. A rather simple dish to make but I bet it would be a lot of work to prepare. It's either that or Rosti, which is a Swiss Potato Pancake...also relatively easy to make and prepare.
So looks like I have to go grocery shopping soon before the weekend...anyone wants to be my tasting guinea pig this weekend?
