No, I'm not getting any new fanciful gadgets. I'm just stepping back into the kitchen.

I've never really like cooking that much... messy, oily and all that washing up afterwards. So we always have our dinners at my mom's place weekdays and meals out on weekends.

Well, lately both my hubby and I were bitten by the cook-bugs and we've been spending weekends trying out recipes. So far my Antipasto di Melanzane, potato bake, peranakan kuey-pie-tee, Japanese chawan-mushi turned out pretty good. My hubby was trying to make his own pizza and I think he'll be making bread tomorrow. Tomorrow... hmm.. I haven't decided. Might try cooking lamb shank stew with mashed potato and Russian borsch soup or Sushi with miso soup. Let's see whether I'm able to get the lamb at the market tomorrow.

We started a small herbs garden too. Basil, rosemary and mint plants are doing well. Trying to grow thyme, dill and oregano too. I was pounding some ginger when my son came into the kitchen. He told me our kitchen was starting to smell like grandma's. Now that's a compliment!
