I Prefer To Cook Myself

I haven't lived at home for almost 5 years because I had to live in a dormitory while I was studying. As a student, food is a very sacred thing, every time meal time comes, especially at lunch time, I have started to think about buying food outside. or cook it yourself in the hostel.

To be honest, during college I often cooked my own lunch in the dormitory, and this has carried over to today, namely that I prefer food cooked at home.

For me, food cooked at home tastes more delicious and I can cook it to my own taste, because my mood in food often changes, there are times when I like food, sweet, spicy, sour and also salty.

If I buy food outside, I feel dissatisfied with the taste, but if I cook the food myself at home, the taste will always match the taste of my mouth.

However, nowadays I rarely cook because I have to do so many activities outside the house, but my mother always cooks my favorite food, lunch at home with my family with my favorite menu is really delicious.

Another plus point of eating food at home is that we can be closer to our family and can create more harmony in the household. Even though I'm very busy, when I have free time I always help my mother cook in the kitchen because I've always really liked cooking because I have a very strong chef's soul, hehe.

Sometimes I also cook food using her own recipe when I feel hungry when Mom is not at home, because I think cooking is really fun.

As a man, I only like to cook food with recipes that are simple and easy to get at home, usually I make fried rice and fry eggs for lunch.

I also often cook fried instant noodles topped with eggs, meat and seafood, by cooking it myself I feel like a chef even though I can eat it myself, hehe.

And another reason I like to cook myself at home is because I am a very thrifty person, if I have the ingredients at home and I can cook it myself, why should I spend any more money to buy food outside.

What made me more confident in cooking myself was when my mother tried the food I cooked, she immediately gave me two thumbs up for the taste, hehe. This is what makes me even more enthusiastic to continue cooking and learn lots of new recipes from the Internet to cook various other delicious foods.

Especially when my stomach feels very hungry, it feels like when I eat food I cook myself it tastes more delicious, there is a feeling of more satisfaction when I eat my own cooking.

This is my entry for this week's Weekly Engagement-WK 40 contest, see you in the next post.
