Level 3 - post 9 (week 14) >> THEMED POST 3
My Favourite Food.
Good day Everybody!, I hope you are enjoying the new season!
(min. 160 words, post three classmates, comments on 3 of your classmates and on your teacher's post.) :
I have lived on my own for some good years so far and in most cases, catering, has been a daily issue to think over...specially when mom's not around! I like to cook in general but to get to cook my favourite recipe, I had to go a long way before.
I have always been related to the kitchen; my mum, as a child, would always say every person should know how to cook at least the minimum so as to survive in a good way. Considering also that I grew up in a time when big supermarket chains did not exist, a time when imported and/or processed food did not arrive and a time when cazuelas, humitas, porotos and several other, quite elaborate recipes, therefore....if you didn't cook, you couldn't eat.
Having grown around people cooking everywhere, it became natural to learn cooking methods, I learnt the ways of chopping onion, how to cook it for different purposes, I also learnt about timing..well, I learnt this only after a time I bought a meat and cooked it on the grill but it wasn't meant for it, but it was for cooking stews!!!
Anyway, nowadays, I live on my own, I have a demanding job (test to make, correct, handouts, bla bla bla) so with this lack of time and the need of eating healthy food, I like cooking my mom's Sunday recipe:
Tuna Salad:
I open a Tuna can, I chop and wash lettuce (any kind, though I prefer iceberg lettuce), I chop onion and let it sit with salt for about 5-10 minutes, then it becomes softer. I wash it and get rid of the strength of its flavour and the salt. I mix everything in a big pot...To dress it, I add lemon juice, canola oil (or any oil), some good mayonnaise and salt. Then, I eat it and go to work again. Well.... however, I still like taking time for cooking!

I do not like tuna. I do not know, in general, I do not like seafood at all. Maybe, just maybe, I could eat fried fish. But it is complicated.
ResponderBorrarI agree with you sir, in this time you can eat anything because there is fast food or as you say: large supermarket chains. Thanks to this, we can eat without need of cook.
