Western Meal (By a super chef)

The menu today is lamb shank (medium rare) served with mashed potatoes (butter & salt) accompanied by chips (COLES gravy flavour) and washed down with a glass of white wine.

I'm thankful my wife is a good cook. Actually she's an excellent cook. We were watching a taiwanese series "It started with a kiss" where the girl can't cook if her life depends on it. haha. I'm glad she's not my wife.

Come to think of it, not many girls nowadays like to cook. The strive for equality in sex means girls need not make an effort to please men by being good cooks, as the old saying goes - "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

These days, we(guys) can't demand our wife/gf to be able to cook an egg, fry some rice or even operate the microwave without some involvement from the fire department, because that would make us chauvinistic and that's totally unacceptable by today's standards.

8 out of 10 girls in Singapore can't differenciate between salt, sugar and ajinomoto, let alone cook. In fact, 70% of these 8 girls have never even set foot in the kitchen before. The other 30% enters the kitchen on a daily basis, but only to go to the toilet, which is behind the kitchen.

Like a famous man once said, "There is no bad chef, only a lazy chef."

Flip through the magazine, browse through the internet ... There are tons of recipes that can be easily prepared, which are kind to the taste buds and healthy to the body. Some of the instructions might be slightly misleading but one need not be a PHD holder to understand the common terms used in recipes.

Example:

• Turn on fire. (Mum! How do I light the match stick?)
• Mix 1 egg into the flour mixture and blend thoroughly. (Remember to remove the egg shells. They are not edible. I repeat! EGGSHELLS R NOT EDIBLE!)
• Pour the contents of the instant noodles into a pot of water. (Don't forget to remove the packaging. And the sachets of flavouring goes into the noodles, not the pot of water)

So girls. Cook, or you shall be cook!


P/s. I wanna take this opportunity to apologize to our neighbours, who had to endure months of agonizing torture where they could only sniff at my wife's delicious cooking when she's cooking, but not being able to taste any of it.
