This is long overdue... i should have written this the very day this feeling came to me. Anyway, there's no better day than today so here it is....
Few days after my birthday, i found myself in the kitchen preparing lunch for a group of friends who couldn't make it for my birthday celebration for reasons only close friends would know.
I love my friends’ company... and for one to have been able to celebrate with me was without the other is not complete. And so, I decided to prepare lunch to have the rest over to our house on Friday.
I went to the grocery as early as Wednesday to marinate the pork spare ribs. I marinated them in soy sauce with lemon and black pepper. Then on Friday morning at exactly 6.30 am I started preparing the rest – mashed potato, garden salad with Italian dressing, pasta with bolognaise sauce, fruit salad and black gulaman. Whilst doing all these, I found myself enjoying all the preparation and loving every minute of it! This is all new to me because as much as I love to eat I’m not very much fond of cooking so many recipes… one is enough hehehe… But this time there were a lot of cutting, mashing, sautéing, frying etc… my friends let me discover part of me that I never thought would come out. Now, I think given the time, I can cook more frequently. I love the feeling of preparing something for people you love.
Thank God they all loved the spare ribs!!! Next time I’ll cook meat paella ;-)
