Our Fishy Sunday…

Lately, Andy and I have been spending our weekends at my place practicing on our culinary skills. He is always full of ideas on new recipes unlike me. Most of the time, I will leave it up to him to decide on the menu for the day. The good thing about cooking is we get to bond together as a team and work hand in hand to ensure to keep the production going. From the boiling of potatoes to cutting of fruits to the search for the seasonings and dressings. There tend to be disagreements but overall it was fun though it was tiring for me as I had to clear up the piling dishes. Cooking is something that couples can do together other than going out doing activities like watching movies or window shopping. Of course, it will be of an advantage to the guys because you will be able to discover and learn the truth behind your woman cooking skills. You can find out if your other half knows how to cook. Out of 10, I will rate myself 2 points in cooking. Seriously, I am hopeless in cooking but there is always a will and determination in me to learn how to cook. Maybe I can invite you to my house to try out my dishes!! Maybe!!
