The other day I learned about the psychological benefits of cooking as in Cooking as Mindfulness in Action. Sorry, I’m not buying this at all. The Psychological Benefits of Cooking – https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-humanistic-explorer/202603/the-psychological-benefits-of-cooking
Over the years when I invited friends over for dinner they got pretty excited. One day I asked what’s with all the excitement?
Chinese food! They were expecting something I really sucked at making. To this day I don’t make much Chinese/Asian stuff. I’d rather go out and eat something someone actually knows how to make.
So Lesson #13 is this: technique. This is the how and why a dish tastes better than yours.
I found this video and I now know why my Chicken and Broccoli sucks.
Who says you can’t teach an old trick new dogs?
Memo to Self – Don’t be discouraged to learn there are Chinese Americans out there more Chinese than you.
