#233 Being able to cook your own food

I have been relying on home cook delivery for more than a year. Someone in the building has been cooking food and delivering to my unit and all the other units in the building. So it is comfortable and just a text away, someone will deliver straight to my door. It was a great arrangement and very comfortable for me, plus the fact that they are "turo-turo" priced, was quite awesome.

Until a month ago when the owner decided to call it quits.

I was off-balanced for a couple of weeks, relying on Chowking and Jollibee which were located downstairs. Then came a time when I was really fed up with the chicken and fastfood. I was just forcing the food inside just I can relieve the hungriness. Ewwwww. Just thinking about the fried chicken, braised beef and chowfan makes me wanna puke.

Every discomfort is an opportunity to grow.

So, there is no choice but to cook my food. Together with the help of my girlfriend, we came up with simple meals, checked the internet and do a grocery.

So for the initial offering, we bought a lot of vegetables, spices and seasonings, a kilo of chicken and a kilo of pork.

Also bought basic utensils, a knife, a frying pan and a skillet.

I was able to resuscitate my refrigerator as it has just been serving me as a place to put rotting foods for me before, and cold water haha. Cleaned up my ref and threw away those expired foods. And i have my ref back!

I also have a gas stove which I havent been using for quit some time. (The last time was maybe last November when me and my girlfriend cooked spaghetti)

Now there is a great oppurtunity to cook awesome meals and learn! And thinking about those nutritious meals, and how bout going vegan! haha

There are no accidents in life. Every challenge is an oppurtunity to grow.

I just finished eating my cooked meal. It was a pork giniling ala menudo. Awesome!

My first home cooked meal!
