Here is my big secret. By the time I came to USA, I haven't prepared a single meal, either for myself or anyone else, by myself. Actually I had a bit of guilty feeling about not trying it before. On the other hand I was scared what my husband (Ajith) would say about my cooking ability. The first night Ajith prepared the dinner. Second day I observed him rather than helping him. The third day, there was no choice, I had to do it since he had to go to school. No worries. Both of us enjoyed the experience :) It gave me confidence and I felt that I can cook something :)
Gradually I tried several recipes and I'm still doing it since the feedback about my meals is not bad. When I talk to my Mom, I let her know about my cooking progress. She is proud of me. But I'm pretty sure she doubts whether I can do it as well as I say :) I can feel the disbelief in her voice :)) It seems I'll have to wait some more time to really prove my cooking skills to my loving mom :)
