Renewed Passion

One of the 'conditions' I have imposed on myself since becoming a 'sort 0f' stay-home mummy is to prepare and cook the meals at home.

I wasn't cornered into making such a demand of myself; I have been looking forward to having my own kitchen with well-stocked cupboards and an oven so that I can try out new recipes and practice the ones on hand.

I love my kitchen. It's the place that I enjoy spending time in the most these days. My dishes are but family fare and my skills are only slowly improving with practice. But I am so proud that I am able to nourish the 2 boys in this way, who have shown their genuine appreciation by preferring to eat home-cooked meals rather than dine out. I, too, rather cook up some simple dishes for friends and family, than to rely on some catering business to bring me the standard buffet fare.

Tomorrow, I'll be having dear friends over for lunch. And yes, I will be preparing some simple but good food to thank them. I look forward to it.
