2014 New Year List of Recipes To Learn
A great start to a great year ahead !
I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead.
Let it be plentiful in parties and great indulgence for the taste buds !
And so my First To Do List for the year is not work-related and is not family-related or Brigade-related, it is a Recipes To Try List !
It is time to do the right thing with internet.
It is time to explore the good life with internet.
I am going to plan some recipes exploring for this year especially with my Disciple Small Group a.k.a Cell Group as my testers. Now, they may not know it yet but they will soon discover it !
Here is a sneak-peak on my List of Recipes to Learn / to Adapt / To Localise / To perfect. May I have success and not failures. May the failures be successful new recipes and treats of a different sorts as long as not burnt !
The reasons I want to embark on such adventure admist my busy schedule are many, for one, the family has become bored with the daily dinner serving, even at birthday parties, some dishes are repetative and has its some its charms on the guests, especially our kids. Gone are the days that grandma and mum would have one set of menu for all birthdays and celebrations comprising of fried mee, boiled chicken, Sweet and Sour Fish, Vegetable Mushrooms and so forth. Now, with internet, learning new recipes and new tricks is actually effortlessly and does not cost you much ! You could even read the comments by those who have tried the recipes to see if it is worth your try.
We have a great hospitable family and we love to have guests to enjoy our cooking ! Eating is a delightful event and a beautiful cultural traditions that we want to pass on to our kids.
This is just a graphic representation of my activity and I probably will not cook any of these. I have my own list :-
- Baked Sticky Rice Cake for Chinese New Year - Done & almost perfected the recipe.
- Snacks for Chinese New Year - yet to decide which one, could be Mini Floss Popiah and Seaweed Popiah or something special - Seaweed Popiah done and success !
