Look How I Cook

Who said that cooking is not for men? Who said that a woman is a better cook than a man? Tell me who said that! And I'll agree with that person.

It's because I found out that I was useless in the kitchen. I always thought that I wouldn't have any problem with the grater, frying pan, spatula, etc. But apparently my cooking skill is the same as a 5-year-old kid's, except that a kid can sometimes boil water successfully, whereas when I try to boil water, I usually end up burning the kettle.

My wife apparently understands this. Always try to give understanding look while pushing me away from the kitchen. She's also still learning to cook, but at least she understands what pressure-cooking means, while I'm still trying to grasp the idea of simmering.

She told me that she used to help her mom cook and that I also need to practice if I want to excel in this area. But the thing is practice usually has a cost. And in my case, the most likely cost will be either food poisoning or burned down flat.

I did try cooking in the past though. I tried to cook a simple omelet with a special ingredient called: nothing. It sounds simple right? That's what I thought too, until I needed to flip the egg.
I don't know how people do that. They just slipped the spatula under the omelet and voila! It's flipped.
When I tried to do that, I tried to insert the spatula under the egg, and voila! Nothing happened. I couldn't even insert the spatula under the egg. So a few panicking and messy moments later, I was finally able to produce something that was supposed to be an omelet, which more similar to something that people running away from in sci-fi movie.

So I guess I just let my wife rules the kitchen, while I do my chore that I do best, eating.
