Down Memory Lane I: ABC Cooking

The next few entries are a brief account of some of my earlier experiences when i first arrived on this island, activities, events and incidents that took place almost a year ago now. Way overdue I know but nevertheless cherished memories that will remain so for a long time to come.


Maho, Noe and Chiho chan, all daughters of teachers at the schools that i taught at.They live just down the street and had came by my place to say hi when I first moved in. Very sweet and eager to make friends with the new teacher.


Then I still wasn't that acquainted with my kitchen, the fire, frying pan, splattering oil and what not. I had no idea what possessed me to invite the kids to my place to cook lunch together but that's exactly what I did! And so they came knocking on my doors one Saturday afternoon, adorned in cute little aprons with worried looking mothers in tow. They must be thinking that I was nuts to think that I could handle 4 kids while cooking at the same time and I can't really blame them. Looking back I really didn't know what I was thinking then when I invited my little friends...


It was a lucky thing that everything turned out fine that day! The kids were well-behaved, we had nice curry rice and you've got to agree the potato croquettes looked its kind didn't it?

And such was my one and only experience of cooking with kids!
