Cooking

I have been in a cooking mood as of late.

The food that I prepare is not fancy by any means.  It tends to be unadorned but undiluted.  Mostly I find the process of washing, chopping, simmering and boiling quite satisfying.

Each time I finish making the meal, I marvel at the stacks of dirty dishes I manage to create.  I sure do miss the dishwasher.  That said, stay tuned for my Thanksgiving feast*.

*Note: I am mourning the absence of Thanksgiving here in Hong Kong.  It is possibly the best American holiday.  And no one here realizes/remembers that it should be a three day week this week.  Sad.
