Okay, this post is the result of one of my friends posting the photo of a delicious looking chicken preparation by her on Facebook.
Culinary expertise is something of a distant dream for me. I can't even call myself a beginner since I can't cook worth junk. It is one big hindrance if I think of going to a different city for work and living there by myself. *sighs* It's not like I haven't tried. Believe me I have. And the only level I could reach is "edible" and then "decent". To be honest I have major issues with the process of cooking...
1. Time. Yes, believe it or not, I go through the weekdays cursing each and every possible thing, and when weekend comes I sleep through it. Even today I was supposed to go out to buy a decent backpack. Didn't. There go my dreams of not having to carry my stupid Dell backpack anymore! *sniffs* But even then, time can be managed. But go the next point and that is...
2. Ingredients. I never have all of them. God knows how my mom cooks. I have no freaking idea. And no matter how relatively "easy" the recipe is, somehow, just somehow that key ingredient would be missing in the kitchen. Frustrating! But the biggest issue, which is insanely annoying is...
3. Something. Which. Takes. An. Hour. To. Cook. Is. Almost. Always. Finished. Within. Five. Damn. Minutes.
... Oh God, why? ...
The third point is what puts me off cooking. It's a matter of principle! I mean, why can't we cook something which, when eaten, can last us for a week or so? Or something which takes 10 minutes to cook but 30 minutes to eat? Well, sandwiches are like that. Takes little time to make and a person can choose to have them slowly while studying, working at the comp etc.
Probably I'll have to settle for sandwiches and cup of tea. My friend shouldn't have posted the photograph. Or even better, I shouldn't have logged in to Facebook on a lazy Sunday afternoon with a semi-hungry stomach. Culinary expertise is definitely a distant dream for me... *shakes her head in hopelessness*
