I didn't have the passion for cooking like you so I ended up having bad food quite regularly when I was in Thailand. Instant noodle, horrible self made meals...all that. Sometimes I could not help convincing myself: "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" while eating :) Thank for the curry today.

I still remember the time we all met in front of National Bank in the morning around 8-8:30am so you could give us our lunch box, met again after school around 3pm to return the containers, sometimes :) It was great effort what you did for us. I will always remember the picture of 4 of us having a Thai steam boat from instant noodles in your room, and the time we were cooking "che` dau xanh" and the time the smoke alarm went off at your flat. I did not know how to cook at the time so I was very happy with all the asian food came from Ann's kitchen. I don't remember when I actually start to like cooking but I would say it wasn't long time ago. After 3 years training at AUT to be a chef, I never took a job as a chef, but I cook and bake a lot more at home. My idea of a day off is making blueberry pancake served with mascapone or creme frache for breakfast and a cup of tea for breakfast, baking savory muffins for morning tea. Lunch would be a smoked chicken salad with fennel and green grapes. Afternoon tea? yes and no, although I prefer chilling out in front of TV watching food TV getting some ideas for dinner. For some reasons, if I cook dinner, I always think of desert before thinking of what to have as main. Creme brulee never goes wrong and of course everyone's favorite, Tiramisu. Those two are the first things appear in my head unless I already had them more than three times in a row :) . Poached pears in red white and cardamom is another option if I feel like something lighter. And then dinner, I love risotto, saffron risotto with seafood, and a sprinkle of Pecorino Romano just before serving. Oh yeah, the meal will melt every guy's heart.
