The Grand Cooking Experiment



After my wife and I got married, I came to the realization that cooking was not one of her strong points. Mind you, she can cook when she puts her head into it and she collected recipes from the different restaurants she was employed. Her Korean fried chicken wings is one of my favorites. The problem starts when she get fixated on one particular recipe. Like that one time where she cooked the same recipe three times in one week and they never seemed to came out the same way. My wife has the habit of tweaking the recipe by adding or deleting an ingredient or two every time she cooked the same dish. One of my Mom's advice came in handy on occasions like this. "However it taste, always asked for a second helping," my Mom said to me. I realized that my wife put the effort in cooking the meal and that I should appreciate her and the food. I am lucky so far that all the meal she experimented with came out fine, if not great. I remedied the situation by volunteering of cooking the meal myself. She loved the meals I cooked and she never complained about my cooking. I wonder sometimes if I got tricked. I wonder?
