BREAK "the deal" FAST
In my country, every household has a
maid who is helping do all the chores at home, especially in the kitchen. My
mom never asked me to go to kitchen to help or to learn how to cook a food. She
is a master of the gourmet food. Probably
that is why she doesn't need a help. She
thought if I am helping her, I will screw up whatever she cooked. I remember she said: "no worries, your
hand is gonna get dirty and you're gonna smell bad ... or "no worries it's
gonna screw up this stuff". Then I walk away and never bother to go to kitchen again.
Anyway, yesterday my 10 yrs
old son asked me to teach him how to make a "scrambled egg with cheese" to accompany his whole wheat toast. He's so happy to know how to break the egg,
scrambled it and put the cheese on top, stir it very well, put it on his plate, Voila! As for me as well, it's done deal as it reminds me with my past in the
kitchen!
I remember the first time I
learned to make a sunny side up (telor ceplok in my language) when I was 19 yrs
old!! I was so afraid of hot oil and I threw the eggs hahahahah. I know you gonna say WTF, I was
very spoil brat when I was young. I am
not gonna totally blame it to my mom but she got 50% on her part "not let me to go to kitchen! 25%
mine and 25% it was our society culture
who make this happen (WTF??).
25% my fault for not being a
"curiosity" with whatever happen in that kitchen! I rather did reading
or talking on the phone with my friends hahahha. Then, I regret it until I was an adult and
need to cook my own food. 25% I blame it to society who created "a maid" culture hohoho
However, am so happy mom
rightnow to see my 10 yrs old son is getting into teenager phase. He's very
independent boy. His curiosity so high. I told him that I want to teach him
how to do this early as well, just in case if I am sick and I can not help him to make
his breakfast. He's so proud and happy and said that he'll make his own breakfast from now on!
Phase one, he knows already
how to make a scrambled egg with cheese, sausage and grilled cheese sandwich as
this is his breakfast everyday if he doesn't want to have a bowl of cereal.
Well Done, mr. T!
Luv always,
mom
