Entirely experimentation... When I moved away from my family to study in University, i had to start cooking. Then i started changing stuff, and experimenting, and reading stuff online etc etc... BTW, sometimes i still call mommy to ask for something she makes that i want to make...
Today I am thinking about either rice balls with chicken, sheppard's pie, pasta with ... something... Have no idea...
Aw that is cute (mainly because you said 'mommy' and I read that in a weird childish voice). There are some recipes I still want to learn from my mother but because she is very busy, her way of teaching is essentially telling me what to do and expects I will automatically get it the first time when my cooking skills is rudimentary.
I tend to just learn meals on my own when I have the resources to try. I also like to understand the science behind cooking as well.
I knew you are the Shepards pie vote... At the moment it got voted I knew it was you... Just one thing - if there is a draw I will have to pick my nose and then pick the winner myself...
Oh shepards pie is great. But I had to pick something... because spaghetti... ew. Shepards pie was one of 3 choices of mine (because I don't know what Omorice is).
Damn.. I was just starting to prepare the Shepards pie, when I checked the poll again and what do you know... Spaghetti it is... Shepards pie tomorrow I guess...
