My cousin is sick. I live with my cousin in a tiny apartment ... noooooooo. sickness! After reading this article about chicken soup, I decided to make her some so that she'll get better sooner (hopefully). The weather is turning colder, so many many people getting sick. Even at work. Crap. At this rate, I'm going to catch a cold too .. :( AHHHHH!!

Anyway, so I suck at cooking. If I needed to feed myself, I could probably survive on my own cooking, like when I was living in the apartments and had to feed myself back in college. It was decent, but there wasn't much variety in what I could cook - pasta, corn soup, corn salsa, rice and chicken, eggs .... err, yah, I think that's about it. My not-so-greatness when it comes to cooking made me aprehensive about making chicken soup because this was for someone else! If it's only me and it tastes like shit, that's ok! But I can't expect other people to eat my shitty food! Still, I decided to give it a shot. Got a recipe from my buddy who can cook like a pro and told her to make it easy, and she did. Woot! After an hour of standing and cooking (wow, haven't done that in a long, long time), SUCCESS! :P

Kinda ... it's a tad bit too salty because I was stupid and thought it was too sweet at first, so I added more salt. Still felt it was too sweet, so added more salt - oops, a little too much. Added some water, but it's still a bit salty. OH WELL. It tastes a little better than decent, so I can't consider it a failure. :D Yay! Now if I could just get motivated to cook more often so that we don't have to spend money eating out so much ... maybe that'd help me lose some weight too, since outside food is so much more oily.


Work's going to be a bit busier this week till next Monday. Learning new stuffs so I can do it when one of my colleagues takes a break. Ahhhh, always afraid of messing up, especially when it has to do with pretty important things. There's so many procedures, though, I'm kinda worried I'll forget and screw it up. BLAH. Meh, all I can do is try and learn!
