Home cooking

I must confess, I was not much of a kitchen person until recently.

Lunch
There was tremendous satisfaction when the family enjoyed the pasta meal I whipped up for them for lunch. Simple prawn spaghetti tossed in extra virgin olive oil and home made tomato sauce flavoured with fresh parsley and oregano. My next challenge is to roll out the fresh pasta dough in the comfort of my own home :)

Dinner
Frankly, I totally freaked out after reading about the Happy Meal article, true or otherwise. This prompted me to get my hands dirty with some whole wheat flour, olive oil, egg and honey to roll out some fresh and fluffy hamburger buns. The burgers were accompanied by some freshly homemade beef patties, garnished with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. We were all starving by 730pm (our usual dinner time is about 630pm) as it took longer than anticipated for the amateur baker to complete the task. All were gone in 10 minutes. I didn’t even have time to snap some photos. Lots of work but it was all worth it seeing that only good stuff went into their stomachs, chemicals and preservatives free :)
