My Next Career If I Could - Chef

Winter months will soon be making ways for spring. During the holiday season, I started to learn to make some easy dishes. The first one was mashed potato. Yes, mashed potato that we always had at KFC's. I never imaged that it was so easy to make. The most rewarding thing was both Kevin and Phoebe were craving for the home-made mashed potato after I learned how to make this simple meal. Later I attempted another dish that we always like -Chicken Scampi, which we had over at Olive Garden restaurant. Italian food is one of Kevin's favorite food. I don't know since when I started to like cooking. But it seems to start this holiday season. My first Chicken Scampi was a awesome success. Kevin will even fought for the leftover. By the way, it's the first time our home has stocked white wine, mainly for cooking not for drinking. We did not even have the wine opener and had to go to Mark Lam's house for help. My next dish will be a similar one - Seafood Scampi. Cooking food that kids love really has its reward. The special ingredient that you won't find it anywhere except home - Love (Kevin said that).
