the cook

being a wife, now i truly found my new hobby- cooking!

having a love-to-eat hubby, i am blessed because he always eat what i cooked. it motivates me to cook more and trying many new recipes mostly every week. furthermore, our neighbour is a cook to. we always change foods and sometimes i went to her house to learn how to cook. she is really a good cook. besides that, my hubby's office also stimulates my new passions because they always organising 'makan-makan' ceremony that is by pot-luck. so, everybody has to bring their own dishes.

today is hari raya celebration at the office. and they requested me to cook kuah lodeh. at first, i was a bit panicked. of course, because i never cook kuah lodeh aka lontong before and, kuah lodeh is not a hari raya dishes in my place, terengganu. but of course i knew kuah lodeh because my mom used to cook it during hari raya last few years. so, i read the recipes and started to cook.

alhamdulilllah, it turned out well. according to hubby, it delicous and his officemates likes it. my 1st try is not bad. and... this also triggers me to cook more.

everyday, i will browse through myresepi.com to read many recipes. i addicted to cooking i guess. and i will make sure there is something in the fridge for my hubby, in case he asked to eat something. for now, in the fridge i have my own chocolate cake kukus (i have to kukus it because we didnt have oven yet) and kuih seri muka (also done by kukus..hehe). my next project will be puding raja and fruit cocktail. cant wait to do it!.

i also cook for breakfast, lunch, tea time and dinner... at night, i will serve some dessert to hubby as his late night supper. i cannot believe i've done this because i never see myself as a cook before. and it gives me satisfaction when i see my hubby buncit. hahaha. i always usik him with his stomach. so sexy.. hahaha. and he will start worry and claimed that he was once a tough guy with six pack body..naahhh.

don't you know that cooking is also helping people to manage stress? i think this is the right theraphy for me for this moment. besides helping me with my illness, i am satisfied and more happy when i can cook whatever i want and i have somebody to eat what i cook. so, stress- free. hehe.

mom also said, if i continue to be like this, insyaAllah i can be a good cook one day. mom also impressed with my choc cake kukus. i also give her my recipe and she loves that. my hubby, our neighbour and my hubby's office-mates also love it. so that, i love to do it banyak2 and keep it in fridge. Alhamdulillah the cake is still moist although i keep it in fridge for more than a week. the best thing is, it get moister and yummier.

so new wife or wife-to-be out there, dont afraid to cook. if u have a supporting hubby, then there shouldnt be a problem for u to cook. besides providing a yummy food, cheaper and stress-relieve theraphy of course, it helps u to show your love to your loves one. thank u hubby and mom for always support me. hopes i will always love cooking =))
