Chef in the making...?
Most of you who know me, know that i am quite spoilt by having the luxury of cooking and cleaning done for me at home (thanks Mom!). Six months in Germany was always going to be a challenging time for me, from this perspective. Well, i have been thrown in the deep end -- i can safely (?) say that i am floating - just about. On Saturday i made Spaghetti (or something that resembled it) and tonight i made Chicken Kebabs with mashed potatoes (ready-mix sachet type, of course). I am writing this entry to this blog which means i am alive, which is step 1 complete. Step 2, flavor - well umm, lets say it’s not anything to write home (to Mommy) about.....yet. We will worry about step 2 as the experience improves...for now I will just throw in plenty of garlic and salt.
On another note, I think Magdeburg is getting a little tired of my hand signals (and so am i :) so i enrolled for a German language course which is due to take place in about 2 weeks time. Hope this helps! I really need to start learning beyond phrases for ordering beer and food!
