Inspired by "Julie & Julia"

Am 30 years old and I have no skill or hobby at all, at least till last month. Now I got my new place, with a “Kitchen” and I started cooking my meals myself. Am just having a great time cooking, ruining meals and perfecting some of them :)

Is cooking a skill? Talent? Or a hobby? Am not sure, all I know is that I enjoy it and look forward to cook my next meal. I search online for recipes and sometimes I add my own modification to suit my taste.

I discovered that I have a taste for food and what should be added. For some reason, sometimes I look at a recipe and think “Naah, that’s too much of X, there is not enough Y, I don’t have A and will replace it with B”

My inspiration to blog came from one of my favorite movies "Julie & Julia", even thought that I won’t be doing hard dishes like the ones in the movie, at least not yet. AJ, my friend, encouraged me to start the blog since I do take pictures for every step, that’s after criticizing the quality and lighting of the pictures that I took with my Onyx cell phone. Chill AJ, next time I will use my 10.1 megapixel Sony camera I have laying around somewhere, if I find it LOL.

What is really great about cooking my own meals, is that I am trying to follow this book by Bethenny Frankel, titled “Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting”. It basically tells you to eat healthy food, not processed food or diet crabby food and to eat in moderation. My favorite rule from the book “ you can have it all, but not all at once”. And yeah, am actually listening to the audio book not reading it :) it is very interesting to hear the book read to you by the author, more convincing.
