When I Feel Sad

It might sound really wierd to most people but... When I feel sad, I cook. Yep, Mr. Chong here cooks. As if that's not bad enough - I sing when I cook.

For the past few weeks, life have been the hardest for me in many aspects. I know I shouldn't be complaining, because there are far worse people out there compared to me. I guess at least I do something about it, such as cooking to take my mind off troubles.

For the past few weeks, I have cooked a full 4 dish meal for my family, home-made pizza twice. I also tried new taste combinations: tried making different types of fried rice. One thing I've learned from this is - it seems no matter how I try to complicate a fried rice, a simple egg fried rice is still the best.

Making a pizza is quite fun actually: you get to dump in all the wierd combination of toppings and every single time a pizza exits the oven, you get a different taste. Just remember... More tomato puree.

I was watching this Hong Kong drama series with my sister, which features a family of 4 brothers and a sister. Anyway, my point is - the elder brother is a good chef, and according to him, his technique to not overcook a dish is to sing a specific song for each dish. Hence, you will get the timing perfectly. Me? I just sing! =P

Unfortunately, after cooking a grand dish, it just sits there waiting to be eaten. The feelings of sorrowful flows back into me as I share what I have cooked, just between the TV and me. I swear this is making me fat.
