cooking God
So, lately i have been making my own bento and bringing them to school with me. not one for variety, most of my bentos so far consisted of chicken, fish, rice and perhaps the odd mushroom or corn so far. not that i liked corn in any manner, it’s just they go well with my chicken as a whole.
strangely though, my classmates like my bentos, and have been trying them out. i am amazed at their "choice" because i personally don’t think much of my bentos. they are made to fit my taste, and fit they do. but they might not be something that humans should eat. you must remember though, my bentos aren’t very big in size. they are literally proportions for primary school kids at best. therefore, with them stealing from my bentos, i don’t quite have enough to eat.
The funniest is, one of them, who was the constant thief, was quite funny. she had be eating from my bento and asked me quizzically, "is this enough for you to eat?" ERM… you ARE eating from MY bento, which IS tiny, and of course if you FINISH it, i wouldn’t have anything to eat then would i -.-??
then, we were supposed to have a group meeting tonight, and originally they wanted to meet at school, which i have no qualms about since my net has been… cranky, at best. then emma, that weird bento thief, was like, "LET’S GO YOUR HOUSE! YOU CAN TEACH ME HOW TO COOK CURRY CHICKEN!!!" or well, cook at all really, since she doesn’t even know how to cook rice.
initially, i was kind of nervous. the last time i cooked for anybody was like, 4 years ago at best. even then i didn’t cook much of anything. similarly tonight… *ph34r*
anyways, it didn’t turned out so bad, was kinda hard teaching her the right proportions for cooking anyways, because everyhing was off the top of my head by now. so i told her to just guess the gauge. she just nods away anyways, so i am making her come back to learn every now and then, especially since we have a 3 hours break between classes on mondays anyways.
i am running out of ideas on what to make bentos with though, that is until i came across this motherland of bentos.
it behaves like some sort of competition between which mother can cook and decorate better than the other person. some of these "bentos" are so ridiculously designed that i don’t know how anyone can bring themselves to eat it. i mean, surely, it is a sin to eat something so, OMG gorgeous.
all the picts are from e-bento… NICE RIGHT?!?!?! yer i am aiming to do something similary, sans the hard work :p
ah…. bed time! ^_^
