I found another love. My wife knows about it and she's not jealous. I realized that I could do this everyday and even though it can be time consuming, doing this activity actually makes me relax and makes me creative.
Though I'm not an expert cook, I cook because its actually relaxing. I found that cooking is a form of stress relief for me. Its something that I can control and really fun because I can do whatever I want. There's no one to tell me what to do. Even if I mess up, my family won't complain.

Over the course of February and March, my cooking has gotten better. I learned how to use spices and and oils to make the food better. I have a cookbook or recipe book of foods I'd like to try out but a lot of foods that needs an oven is not in my recipe book. I do however have a wishlist when we have more money for a house. I want an oven in my house. Currently my house is too small for an oven. Unfortunately I live in Taiwan which doesn't have room for an oven. But eventually when we move back to the US, an oven comes standard in each home. So that's one of my dreams. Back when I lived in the US, I took our oven for granted, and if I knew I would live in Taiwan, I would have taken more of an advantage.
My favorite recipe is cubed chicken and rice or pasta. I usually use A1 sauce and some spices I found to put into my recipe. Olive oil is the best as its pretty healthy for people. With cubed steak, its pretty interesting to see how your progress is by how much feed back you get from your wife or brother, or sister or significant other. My wife said that the food is better. I'm happy, I'm evolving.
