You should be a chef!
So yesterday I didn’t realise how tired I was.. Got into bed.. And when I opened my eyes it was the morning.. What?! When did that happen?!
Yesterday after work I went over to my friends house as she just moved and I wanted to check out her new place. It was really nice!
About 30 minutes passed and her and her housemate decided that they were hungry but they didn’t know what they wanted to cook. They had potatoes and a lot of random vegetables. My friend looked over at me – “You cook!” She exclaimed! “Make something.. Please?” I welcomed the challenge!
I opened the fridge and rummaged for ingredients.. The same thing with the cupboards. In the end we cut up a mix of sweet potatoes and white potatoes put them in the oven to bake and whilst that was cooking I chopped up some tomatoes, carrots, an onion, jalapeños and spring onion before adding a teaspoon of all purpose seasoning and chilli. When the potatoes were almost done I took them out and flipped them before adding the previously mentioned veg mix over the top. It was baked for a further 12 minutes until the onions softened and the veg began to roast.. Et voilá! It was complete!
She took one bite, looked over at me and told me I should be a chef!
I explained to her that what I did wasn’t hard and she kept insisting that it was really good and I should think about it.. Meh.. I’m good just cooking for me, family and friends.. Another recipe for my cookbook it seems!
P.S. I don’t think the photo does it justice!

The photo makes it look delicious! I certainly think you have a real knack for cooking. It may seem easy for you but the nation’s abilities to cook is pretty dire on the whole. You’re one of the few who are really good at it. I’m still looking forward to a meal invite one day by the way 😉
I don’t think I have that much of a knack for it.. there are so many people that do it better than me.. I try.. But I’d love to be better!
