I understand now why cooking for some is something they are so passionate about.

I never thought I would start loving this activity that is so common yet not everyone can do or too afraid to try it. I also have friends whom I never expected that they could cook. This particular guy, a d___ckhead, but I was surprised when one night we were so wasted I had to sleep in his place. He was so drunk as I was but he still was able to cook a nice soup. In the morning he also prepared risotto and baked some chicken for brunch. When we started talking about cooking, his character immediately softened. Amazing!:) The food in Asia is so cheap. It is possible not to cook at all. In the morning, there are breakfast stores in every corner and even late at night there would always be small stalls serving hot stuff for the stomach. Asian cuisine too is very collaborative, it is normal to ask for condiments to suit one's taste. So, I thought I didn't need to learn to cook at all. I then worked in another Asian country. Yes, the food was tasty and never expensive. All of a sudden l just looked for THAT familiar taste. I just missed my country's food that I craved for it more and more. So I decided to make my own lunch finally. I just went for it and voila I made something that seemed to be like the one I always eat at home. I then went to the supermarket and bought the ingredients of what I liked to eat. It is so much cheaper if I cooked my own food indeed. I went on youtube to learn more and started experimenting even. Until I had the courage to cook for my friends. They loved it of course. Here in Europe as well, I just go to an Asian shop and make use of what is available. I would then invite my friends in my place for lunch or dinner and it really feels good to see them enjoying it. It just makes me feel appreciated in another level and not just as someone they know at work or a normal friend who just hangs out with them. There is something in it that somehow shows the gentle character of a person, that caring side of personality. Maybe I am just stereo typing.lol. Also, when I am feeling depressed, I cook and just satiate my cravings. It is very therapeutic and addicting too. So anyone, care to try my cooking?:)
