ReplyDeleteHi Lady, I eat to live, not live to eat.
ReplyDeleteBut in your case, I will make an exception, ha ha.
Wow! This Indonesian fish dish looks really delicious. normally I prefer the other Indon 'dish', the walking kind, ha ha. Just joking, ya.
I can practically get the scent of the spices you used.
And there is no spectacle on the Earth than that of a beautiful wife and mother like you, in the act of cooking for her loved ones at home.
Today not many women can cook...either eat at fast food courts before turning home or 'bungkus balek'.
I have 2 young friends, one fell in love with a dimple, one fell in love with her body....but did not check the bride's resume.
Both wives can't cook. One doesn't even know how to boil rice.
And one, doesn't do laundry, hubby has to wash her ahemmm, personal things too.
And when they come to our house, my wife has to cook extra rice as they buka puasa with my wife's sambal belachan, assam pineapple pedas, fish head curry, kangkong belachan, etc.
For me, I ha ha, interviewd, tested, sample before deciding who to marry, even though I eat to live....but hey! I love sambal belachan, ha ha.
You stay young, keep well and happy cooking, Lee.
Thanks Uncle Lee for dropping by. I somewhat agree with you about our younger generation....look vs ability. So be wise and choose your perfect life partner..not only has beauty but also brain most importantly compatibility, loving and dedicated towards the family.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you are indeed very lucky man since your wife is capable in preparing such a delicious meal for you and your friends.
Love to be your new found friend, stay in touch ya...
