After almost two weeks my kitchen and bathroom are complete. Last night I cooked for the first time on my new stove
'Cooking for one’ sessions are being held across
Blackburn to support socially isolated people to
learn how to create healthy meals and meet new
friends.
Today we take cooking for granted, when we are in a hurry we pop some food into the microwave and presto it is ready. We also have other gadgets which have made cooking easier and less arduous. This could not be said of our forefathers who had to use limestone stoves with a grid in the cavity between the four points and pieces of wood or coal was placed underneath to heat the food slowly. These stoves were made of limestone or granite. In some of the more remote villages in Gozo such as Gharb you can still find some very old persons who use the limestone stove, but this is dying out very fast. - MALTA
It´s a rainy day so I decided to clean my flat intensively. At lunch a friend came and we make ´Spätzle´. After the big cleaning I will retire with some DVDs which I get in the morning at the library.
You see a Congolese girl with a big metal cooking pot in the middle of a field near the edge of the bush. You think, what is she doing with that big metal cooking pot?
Is the pot full of food? You think may be her mother is cooking nearby. But it looks shiny new. It's filled with water. You think may be her mother is preparing to cook. You must have water to cook.
She is coming from the water source. She only has this big cooking pot instead of the normal yellow jerry can or plastic tub. The water is the important thing. It does not matter what you use to get water.

this is thai fried rice I made from a recipe found here: aspicyperspective.blogspot.com/2010/03/wanderlust-and-bre...
I'm kind of new to cooking so it was fun to actually try and "plate" something. I know this little scene looks totally staged but ironically this is how our table is set all the time with the origami and teapot! :)
Still cold all the time, I was all set to make another big, hearty and warming meal this evening (beef bourguignon, if you must know) when I abruptly changed my mind. Never mind the ridiculousness of eating asparagus way out of season (but it was so perfect), it was so springy and the opposite of this endless cold, it was perfect.
I'm teaching him how to cook, slowly but surely. This evening's menu was pesto spaghetti with sauteed chicken filets, topped with fresh tomato concasse with minced onion, garlic and balsamic vinegar (leftover bruschetta topping LOL)
Strobist Lighting102 Assignment: Cooking. With a silver nutcracker, I placed on a pink plastic cutting board, and then used a green plastic cuttingboard as a reflector.
