I had finally secured a 9-inch round shallow pyrex and I can't wait to put it to good use.
I really don't know where to begin. Part of me wants to make shepherd's pie so that I can use my giant icing decorator my sister got me for the mashed potato on top. But if I'm being truthful to myself, I really imagined a rich pie sitting on the dish. Something caramel, sticky and sweet, maybe with nuts.
I am looking forward to cooking more this year. After we get married, I have more opportunities to experiment :)

I'm quite curious how life truly changes after marriage. I was chatting with a good friend who recently got married and she says that she loves married life and that it still feels like playing house. I love how she said that, playing house.
I remember how when I was young and we played lutu-lutuan or pretend cooking, placing flower petals and leaves into miniscule pots--a master chef in a child's mind. Sometimes I still feel that way when I'm cooking. I can't help but smile when that certain feeling takes hold of me. I can't say it is dead on nostalgic, but I would say that that child in me makes me a happier adult.
Playing house. That is one point for the team that I'm rooting for. The team that believes.

Happy New Year! :)
