Face off: the hub and my cooking

Hello Raine, I was like that when i first started to cook. I was calling mom to ask her for every spice I have at home to put it or not. Soon I started to learn and remember which is good mixed with the other things I want to put in the pot or pan and I build up knowledge, very slowly. My boyfriend was just like that when we first started to live together. I was making simple things like frying eggs, making salads, using hotdogs and making them with yellow cheese inside. Gladly we moved away of his family at the summer, so I could use vegetables a lot, for decoration mostly of different simple dishes. My boyfriend doesn't think he needs knowledge in cooking. He can fry potatoes, make potatoes salad or fry eggs.

My hubby was a Japanese cook during our college days and is fond of cooking. He's even good in haggling for the best buy in the market. I felt the same before but because he is an important person in my life, that is why I have tried to make the best. Just for sharing, I learned that cooking is also an expression of your care and love for your family. Having this, I make sure that the food I cook and serve them is delicious and nutritious. I do some research on the internet on budget and easy to cook recipes. I also learned that patience is part of cooking and it does show your emotions. There was a time that I got colds and was not feeling well when I cooked a meal. I know that I have given effort and the right ingredients but it did not taste that good for I was not feeling well. It has shown in the dish I cooked. So with this, even with not so much knowledge, I certainly believe that cooking is an expression of your love to your family. So always be happy when cooking.

Practice makes perfect & good for u for trying. That is aot more than alot of young women do.Your husband is very sweet to encourage u like he does.I do cook & like to. In fact i cooked for my parents before i ever left home . They both worked so it helped my mother out to not have to come in & cook after a hard day's work. U just keep on trying, u will be an expert first thing u know.

I am a good cook, and my boyfriend likes the vast majority of what I cook. Of course, I had years to perfect my cooking skills before he and I moved in together. I used to cook for my housemates; so I already had significant experience cooking for others. What I have really improved since my boyfriend and I moved in together is my plating. I have started focusing a lot more on the presentation of the food. I am working to get all of my dishes to look like they could be photographed and featured in a food magazine. My boyfriend does not cook. He has tried once since we've been together. He made popcorn in a big pot. Rather, he blackened popcorn in a big pot and filled the entire place with smoke... Yeah... I cook. He washes the dishes. It is a good arrangement, and it is one that is less likely to risk a visit from the local fire fighters.
