On Patience and Cooking

My friend, Paolo, "read" my "here and now" through tarot cards a few days back. It was very consistent that my main issue in my "here and now" is patience. I might have been a little bit disturbed by that reading because I decided that it's time to cook again.

ANODAW?!

Noong bata ako, sabi ng lola ko sa akin ang pagluluto daw ay isang kuwento ng paghihintay. Mula sa mismong magluluto (kung magugustuhan ba ng mga kakain ang kanyang inihanda), sa mga kakain (sa paghihintay ng mismong pagkain) at mismong ang mga sahog daw ay naghihintay din (naghihintay kung sila ba daw ay makakasali sa isang pagkaing magugustuhan ng lahat). Haha! Ang funny ng lola ko noh?

But this story of patience has gone a long, long way. I may not believe that the ingredients are learning patience as well but I learned much, much more. I learned to cook under low fire (DONT PRESSURE THE GARLIC!), I learned how to wait for water to boil before placing the pasta unto the pot, I learned how chopping some ingredients finely can change the taste.

I've long forgotten cooking. Not until today that I was able to find time to cook again. I must regain patience. I cooked a simple Tuna and Capers Pasta that I learned from my friend, Loi, back in college. Infer. Masarap. Hahaha! (VAIN!?)

Knives and posporo! Pang horror film!

Capers and Tuna (normal and hot and spicy).

I love capers! I would choose it over olives.

Olives yak. Hahaha!:)

San Remo Vegeroni for the win!

Eating time!

Pasta + Tong its = Aba pwede na!:)

I need to cook more often now. I shall rekindle our flame. (ANO!?)
