When I first started in the kitchen about a couple of years ago, I
started small and simple - preparing lunch for hubby and myself for a
start. Soon it became almost an everyday routine since. I have to admit
that I certainly did not start well. It took plenty of experiments with
taste pairing and especially learning what makes a good ingredient and
which are best avoided to prevent soggy and mushy lunches especially considering these are made at least a
few hours in advance before lunch time. It certainly did take more of my husband's patience enduring through all the not-so-good ones,
finishing them each time as if they were the best he had had, and be
ever so encouraging all the same still. As with other learning aspects in life, it takes me quite a while before
it gets natural eventually.
Packing lunch for hubby to
bring to work has since been a pleasure. Although it
may mean waking up slightly earlier than he does most of the time,
sacrificing some precious beauty sleep ladies can hardly get enough of, having the assurance that
he eats well despite his busy schedule at work is a personal
satisfaction worth everything else. Plus it always is a good measure taken
because in the
process, I will always be making one for myself too, ensuring that I have a lunch as
good and healthy as he does, raher than grabbing anything on the go otherwise.
