Facing my Culinary Fears

It went down for sure....

As I write this I still do not have a title for it. But I am sure about what I want to achieve. I want be featured as a guest blogger in two blogs that I follow.
Reason I want to be featured is because of what I was able to accomplish yesterday.

I got home to an empty house dirty  dishes and no food. The only food that was there was one egg and some left over rice. I hang out with the right people and one of them is a professional Chef. Usually when she cooks up a fancy meal, one minute she's walking in with ingredients and the next something fancy is being served. So after watching a video of the same from her blog, cookingwithjaz  I decided to give it a go.

Mine was the basic Stir Fried Rice with eggs.

My ingredients were as follows;

1. Rice from the day before
2. 1 Egg
3. Garlic.
4. Cooking Oil
5. Many spices all up in the kitchen.

How I prepared it is what the video in Cooking with Jazz showed. What I got at the end of it was an awesome meal and a sense of accomplishment. I cooked it myself and I also deserve to be featured in La Maison Chic la-maison-chic  , because it was a DIY affair. I did not order for Chinese take out (yeah we order for Chinese take out, while seated at the food court, you place an order and take it out to the house) , I made it myself.

This is how it went down...

My stir fried rice with eggs :-) ok with 1 egg 

After the first bite :-)

Three bites later, ok or more....

I stopped counting...

In conclusion, I made my own stir fried rice and I loved it. Lesson learnt, do not be afraid as fear can paralyze you. I actually never thought I could cook up a fancy meal. I normally do the basics, Ugali, Rice, Pasta and am still learning about chapatis. 

I can choose to hold back on so much within myself because am scared I will fail, or I can take a risk, do it fail or not fail. Other than cooking, there are so many other things that I stop my self from doing, because of fear. I am good at being scared and making safe decisions. So this is me venturing out... don't stand there and look at me go. Get out and conquer some giants.. let me know how that goes..

 It's good thing you cannot tell how  the food tastes from the pictures. Yeah, it's the 78th day of the year. It's good to be alive....oh and spruce up that meal, with a fruit or something. 

I had an apple.
