Cooking is my new passion

Being away from home has allowed me to learn how to cook many dishes that my mom used to make. I love my Ma's cooking and whenever we are in Toronto, I always prefer family dinner at home.

Since I'm almost never able make it to family dinner on Thursday nights, my mom has made me feel less homesick by passing on her recipes for good soups - which I miss the most. I try to make a different kind of soup every weekend now. I hope my Ma is proud. :)

So far, I haven't made anything that's too nasty to eat. Oh wait, there was this one time that I made this funky herbal soup that turned out to be a black soup - it was so foul .. ugh. I swear, I think my mom was trying to play a joke on me. "It's supposed to be black .. it's good for you". Sure, mom. Jeff was a trooper - he toughed it out and actually drank it. Of course, the side-effects were just as foul.

Tomorrow night I'm going to try my beef brisket again. Corrie has been asking for the recipe and I'm hesitant to share it until I get it just right. It will be my third attempt and each time I forget something. (Don't worry Cor, when I get it just right I'll post it here.)

Toodles,
Pudgy
