Full Time Motherhood, a career with possiblities (2)

One of skills you most like to develop is Culinary. That is skill opens my eyes towards lifelong learning. I came from a "well protected" home, where my mother thinks to study is more important than to learn cooking. I got married without any basic skills of cooking. The first half year of our marriage, we were either eating out or having soup with rice. The so-called "Soup" was in fact, water boiling with all kinds of things, meat, vegetables etc. Thank God I have a kind husband, who did not complain whatever I brought to table. However, by the time our first baby was bore, I determined to LEARN. What a magic word, when you want to learn, you will be able to learn.
I borrowed dozen cook books from library, started experimenting all kinds of cooking,mainly Chinese food frying, stewing, baking. (See my favorite cooking bookClick Here! )
I love baking the most, I still remember, when I first practiced to make breads, sometimes it could be too hard, sometimes it could be over rised. But now, the moment bread out of oven is the happiest moment for my children, they all run into kitchen to want to take the slice of fresh baked bread. Often, my children tell me "I prefer Mummy's bread". That really makes me feeling proud.
