Since December, I had not been cooking. My right hand had let me down and it was so bad that I couldn't even hold a pen. So, we had been dinning out very frequently, everyday, I would say.
Last month, I felt I could step into the kitchen again so one day, I started to prepare some simple food, the all in one type of dish.
That day, when I picked my children up from their school, they asked me the familiar question: "Mom, which restaurant are we going to?" My answer: "JO-N's Restaurant" They didn't get it at first but when I repeated, Karl said: "Oh, I know, we are going to mummy's restaurant!"
For several days after that, I had been cooking. One day after school, Karl came back and asked: "Mom, where's my lunch?" When I pointed to the packed food bought as I didn't manage to cook that day, he was disappointed. Hey, son, you are telling me you like the food I cook? That's great news!
So, with my children's support, I would try to cook whenever I can. I think I'm going to like cooking!

Hi Jo-N, what happen to you right hand? If it needs time to recover, don't force yourself to do something right now. take care!
after eating for so long, one sure misses homecook food esp mummy's food!
Homecooked food is the best food you can give your children. Keep up the good work, Jo-N. Cooking is fun! :)
Our children r the best judge of our cooking. So when they love wat we prepare for them, that's the biggest motivation. Jes make sure u dun touch too much of the detergent ya.
aiyor JO, for a moment, i thot i must go & 'pong chan' yr restaurant edi....
anyway, with kids at home it's always good to have home cook food (even if simple one) for them rather than eat MSG ma....keep it up JO!!
Ya!...I still prefer home cook foods. :)
