Chef Pehpot

Cooking is a hobby that my family loves. I grew up in my grandmother’s kitchen. She is a great cook and so is my mother. Although their cooking skills is not as great as those who studied cooking classes Los Angeles, theirs is really exceptional (for our family). My mother specially knows how to make a good dish out of simple ingredients. I missed her dishes, specially on days like these.

When I started out my cooking career, I was never good. In fact, I once told myself I will not prepare dishes like Menudo and Kare Kare because it was tedious. I have no confidence in my cooking skill. Later on, dishes by dishes, I learned. I know enjoy cooking and feeding my family with sumptuous dishes. And though I said I will never cook Kare Kare, this has been our weekend dish ever since I learned how to prepare it.

And you think I will stop there? Oh no, I still want to learn more, I want to enroll in a private cooking class and learn how to prepare luxurious meals and foreign dishes. I want to serve my kids (when they are older) a complete course meal. I want them to experience fine dining at the comfort of our home. I can just imagine how fun it would be, serving them hors d’oeuvres, main entree, side dishes and dessert.A friend told me that cooking classes LA offers this kind of course. I would love to enroll on one of those cooking class. It can be good therapy for me too.

I am feeling a bit OK now so expect a lot of articles from me and more update on our contest too. I will tell later why I was don, for now, I gotta go and put on my apron, here comes Chef Pehpot!

Ground Day

After the depression attack, comes the OCD attack. Oh please don’t come near me, I am impossible this past few days. And while we were busy taking everything out here in the house, I suddenly want to cook, and not just one, but two dishes. In the fridge, there’s ground pork and ground beef. I cooked it both! Yum! For the ground pork, I just saute it in tomato sauce and I add some carrots and potatoes in it. For the ground beef, I cooked chili con carne. It is not your typical chili con carne with black beans. It is a simple chili con carne, coked using Taco mixture, with some corn kernel and topped with cheese.

Ground Dishes Day

I think I would need cholesterol treatment, because I ate twice. I ate with my sister then I breastfeed Sati. After that I ate again, this time with my helper. But in a way, I really need that much energy because there a dozen boxes outside waiting to be sort out. This is what happens when my OCD attack, I tend to perform all the roles tha I can fit, mom, cook, home make, etc. You don’t have to tell me, I know I need to rest too.
