What a marvel...!!!!

[aromulus]

I always thought of myself as a good allround cook.
Apart from learning by looking at what my Mother and grandmother used to do, I also spent a few years in Catering college and most of my life in the Hospitality Industry, running and cooking in restaurants, hotels and outside catering.

Jet has the incredible knack in copying me and improve on what I have been doing in the kitchen, but also to improvise and create the most delicate and tasty recipes.

Recently we attended Judith's and Shawn wedding, and one of the many things that impressed my wife was the superb dessert served at the reception, a "Chocolate fondant" .....
She found a recipe online and managed to re-create it perfectly at the second attempt. I am still licking my fingers.......
Apart from that, lately she has been baking superb apple and banana cakes, again just by following online recipes.
But this is not all, whatever she puts her hand at, it comes out absolutely perfect.

I am piling the weight on, as she is using us as laboratory rats for her cooking experiments and if I must pass on, I will die a happy man indeed....

I feel humbled really, I have now conceded in the kitchen where once I ruled as master.

Jet Happy Easter,
Mahal na mahal Kita asawa ko.

Good for you Lucky guy Maybe i should start making those sweets for my hubby too but i'm worried he might gain some more Since i got here, he got bigger because i was feeding him with "all meat and rice feast" And i've only been here a month. What more if i add up sweets on the daily menu on top of the rice and meat feast

My husband always tease me thesame thing, coz i always cook in big portions (i know he likes to munch a lot ), so everytime he comes home for dinner, he would tell me "baby, who else are we having dinner with tonight?"

[Piamed]

I can relate to that Dom

Although not a master chef, I could turn out a few dishes that folks around me liked. Pia always told me that she would try to learn sme dishes but was not a good cook. Her family even joked that i'd send her back once I realised what her cooking was like.

Pia has totally amazed me. She is an excellent cook and her carrot cake is a sort after delicacy among our friends, to the extent that she has satrted cooking more than 1 and in large containers also. Now we have been invitated to share a catering stand at the Yorkshire Barrio Fiesta. Asawa ko is full of surprises.

Well done Pia!
I kind of relate to her story... lol
Back home: I hated cooking. I hated long preparations. I hated slicing vegies, chopping meats etc hehe, not to mention the cleaning, washing & putting away all used utensils...
But don't get me wrong I know the basics hehe
My motto was "Fools prepare, wise men eat!" Let others do it for you... hehe

Until I came here...
I starved hahahaha...
Now I am loving it! Especially if someone will ask for 2nd helpings It's brill!

My motto now:
Don't starve yourself & be not lazy... COOK!

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE BIG CHANGE INDEED!
No more mom to spoil me and no more maid to look after and take care of everything i need and all the household work.
Now i do all of that here. But to my surprise, i actually enjoy it, specially cooking I just love it, and my hubby being so appreciative of my cooking and effort inspires me evenmore But my hubby still spoils me, just not in the kitchen though, i spoil him on that area. But other than that, he still spoils me in so many ways and is still ever so patient with my "bunso" tantrums and mood swings I just feel glad i married a great guy I'm sure most of the filipinas in this forum can say thesame thing about their husbands
