Domestic Bliss

Hey followers!

It has come to my attention as I recline on this reclining leather chair watching Stuck On You (not paying attention at all however) that I am a person who enjoys cooking.

This is beginning to be extremely useful as I have recently moved into a new flat, where I am expected to cook my own meals and basically fend for myself really.
In the past I have existed on a diet of two minute noodles, fish and chips and anything that is extremely easy and simple to make/eat.
It is not that I can't cook, it is due to the fact that I may have been slightly lazy, and would go to my hairdressing course until 4:30pm and then head straight to my job at the call centre, where I would remain until 8:30pm to then bus home to the west side of town where I would get home at 9:30pm. Seeing as I got up at 7am the next day mostly I was never usually in the mood to cook!

My mood and health did suffer for this, and I find it intriuging to see that this was just prior to when I became a Christian. Funny how these things happen!

Anyhow, I made a decision (which I have been acting on) that in this flat I am going to embrace cooking, cleaning and all things housekeeping with a flair and passion!
I love cutting up vegetables, I love sauteeing them to deliciousness. I love eating the final product. I may be overdoing the seasame seed oil but I don't really care!

Due to influence from my Vegan friends, I have grown a liking to tofu, which I cooked for the first time tonight. I only accompanied it with cabbage, and the flavour was slightly overpowering, but it was lovely to be able to consume the fruits of my labour in a leisurely manner on the floor, accompanied by laptop, guitar and tv.

I hoping that over time my skills at cooking tofu will get better, but for now I'm happy.

I plan to remain in this flat as long as I can (I used to hop from place to place soooo often) and become really settled, get a full time job and even a car. :)

That's all for now, gotta have some camomile tea so I can sleep good for my job interview tomorrow.

Wish me luck and pray for me!

Love from Gem.
