After a wet beginning to the week, I went on to start cooking my own dinner. Thus far, I have been eating out (which, depending on what you eat can be expensive and unhealthy) and buying groceries for breakfast.
On Monday afternoon, I headed down to Somerfields (a small but reasonable supermarket) near Alexander Fleming to purchase my first round of groceries, including a packet of rice. I came back to the hall and prepared my first home-cooked meal. Rice with seafood in Cantonese sauce and egg. :) It was delicious!
Today, after school, I went to buy my second round of groceries. I came back with packets of pasta, pasta sauce, canned soup, garlic, onions, beef and chicken. I whipped up some boiled broccoli and cauliflower with rice and chicken in Cantonese sauce... Bon appetit!
The crockery and necessary utensils are all available in the kitchen and I am actually thankful for my neighbour from China cause she brought a rice cooker and has gladly allowed me to use it... :)
In doing my own dinner, I hope to be able to hone my cooking skills and cook for others as well... Chef Jo in the making. By day a law student, by night a chef.... haha
Well, this is perhaps the icing on the cake to my settling in the UK. I also think that by cooking your own meal, you can take your mind off the demands of school and indulge in someting you enjoy. The one thing that I would love to have is a piano where I can run my fingers through...
Music, law and food... a very good combination don't you think??
I now have to think what will be Part 3 of this episode, if there is such a thing...
