We are officially in the middle of winter and man is it cold! I have been 'chilling'. I have made a lot of soups and been eating plenty of fruits, to keep the vitamin C up and running. Since new semester began, I have not been home cooking a lot since I am not free in the evening. Nevertheless, I have been baking and trying a few recipes from last semester. This is the best feeling ever- being able to produce a dish that you made in class and it actually tastes amazing. It goes to show that practice and patience are the key to become a good cook. I regularly watch cooking shows on SBS food network, and sometimes watching the competition ones give me hope. Many of these chefs did not really dream of making it, but managed, and are making a living out of it. Many of the cooking patterns, techniques are familiar to me. It is amazing. I still cannot believe that I am enrolled in a cooking course.
Since the weather got cooler, I have been drinking a selection of tea. My latest favourite is the sencha tea. This is probably the best tea I have ever drank. I love the subtle aroma and the light flavour. It also smells so nice. It was actually an accidental purchase, but I am so glad I did it. Besides, I am loving brown rice tea and rooibos tea.
Twinings has been introducing new tea flavours. I enjoyed the peppermint & spearmint combination. However I have to admit that the peppermint & Lime tasted quite weird.
Well, time to make some more tea. Enjoy!
