domestic engineer

i bought a cookbook today. i decided it's about time for me to stop relying on pasta, jars of tomato sauce and garlic salt as a homemade meal and actually try to start cooking dinner. i stole the title of this post from my labmate lisa, who is truly a domestic engineer, i'm just trying it out as a hobby for now. i don't think i'll ever feel like a real person until i start using the kitchen as it's meant to be used. when i think of childhood, every night my mom had dinner made for us... maybe that's why i've been a slow learner, since i never needed to learn before.

oh but i'm kind of cheating, the book i bought is called '5 ingredients, 15 minutes' or something like that... but hey, it's a start :)
