Steak Day

Today I had a steak and about 4 cups of rice. It was heaven. I've always been a meat-eater and a steak is the best way to start my day. Though I haven't grilled a steak before, I think I did pretty well. It was just right. It wasn't too raw, nor was it burnt. I wish I had some steak sauce though.

Living out of Take Out

From July 2005 to Sept 2008, I've lived in a studio condominium unit alone. It posed as a challenge to prepare my own food as it really wasn't worth the effort to cook for one then clean up after. This is besides the fact that I didn't own a stove, cookware and refrigerator. I basically lived off take out food to get by.

It was convenient but to say that my diet was unhealthy was an understatement. It was all processed foods.

Recently, I moved into a bigger condominium unit in Pasig. I now have a roommate who by chance have the cooking things I lacked. It was easier to cook my own food and it was worth the effort. And we can keep leftovers in the refrigerator. Now, only half of my diet is taken out from restaurants. Now I have a choice to eat healthier. I just need to learn how.

Late Breakfast

It's 2pm and I've just finished cooking breakfast. I woke up early but the internet made time fly. I wouldn't have started cooking if not for my stomach grumbling.

I cooked some bacon and some fried rice. I make the best fried rice. It's the probably the only food I'm proud of cooking. It's not too dry and not too wet. It really depends on the way the rice was cooked and how it was kept after. You can't cook fried rice right after it was cooked else it'll be different. Then there has to be the right amount of garlic and salt. Just garlic and salt and it'll turn out fine. Every now and then I throw in some onions but that's just for special occasions.

It looks delicious doesn't it? It took me around 30 minutes to prepare everything and 10 minutes to eat everthing on the plate.
