 
Lately, I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Thank God after so many years of being dependent on my mom. She’s a good cook by the way :D
It’s one hell of a ride before I can be called a Cooking Master (whew!)… Or perhaps I will never be. 
Before I learned how to cook, I have my mentors to tell me what to do or else, I might burn our flat down. 
The mentors I am referring to are my housemates :D
They let me do the whole thing, preparation - cooking and they give their comments, good or bad afterwards. 
Thus, I am giving them all the credit to why I know now how to cook even though I still sometimes not able to perfect a dish. Bad, bad, bad. 
Well, according to them, I lack focus. I do not concentrate on what I am doing. But trust me, I am. 
I am putting my heart into cooking. That, I am sure of. 
Maybe what I need is practice. A lot of practice. 
Anyway, here’s what I have prepared for our lunch today. In case you do not know what this dish is… It’s tinola. Well, I hope, it really looks like one.
