Life was not easy for the last few months. I survived months without actually doing anything valuable. Now, I am taking steps to get it on track. For that, my boarding place is giving me much support as we can make meals there.
Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I am a cooking lover. I have dreamt of a day when I can make my own meals, the way I want. In Asian families, we usually eat rice for most of the meals, and tend to have heavy meals. This was the same in my place as well. I admit that it feels good to have Mum's food made with love. But I like to have some me time as well so that includes making my own food as well.
We use rice cookers to cook rice, pasta and beans and a hot plate to cook anything other than that. Also, we have a sandwich maker. I don't make meals every day, I usually make 2-3 potions at once and refrigerate. All the others are doing the same. What I usually make is pasta, fried rice and sandwiches. Sometimes I make banana pancakes with too ripe bananas.
I pack some food to eat at lunch as well. Now I prefer to bring sandwiches because eating rice at lunch makes me sleepy in the afternoon.
I usually don't prepare rice and curry as I don't like to refrigerate, heat and eat them. But this week I felt like making rice and curry so I made a dhal curry and a soya meat curry. For lunches, I will make sandwiches daily.
Currenly I am living somewhat a routine life and this cooking makes me feel good.
Have a nice day.
