Successes and Failures

Bit Bit has been trying out many new dishes, about 70 to 80 dishes from the start of this blog. There has been both successes and failures while trying to cook out the different dishes. Some were really nice and yummy, which made Bit Bit really happy and proud. Some turned out fairly okay, which will make Bit Bit think of how to improve them. However, there were also some failures which Bit Bit did not record them down here, since they are recipes which have failed. The failures impact Bit Bit more than the successes, as cooking to Bit Bit is about making delicious food which everyone will like and feel happy, so without yummy food, Bit Bit will not be able to see the satisfied expression of the eater.

There were times when Bit Bit specially made some food for friends, some of them expressed interest and enjoyed the food, while some of them do not seem to show any appreciation or perhaps it was not to their liking or perhaps they prefer eating out at restaurants or cafes instead of eating homemade food. The unhappy incidents have made Bit Bit think of stopping cooking, but thinking of those friends who enjoyed the food, Bit Bit will not give up and continue learning the different dishes.

 

Bit Bit actually likes to cook at home a lot, as Bit Bit likes to eat but is also keeping a lookout on the amount of calories consumed everyday, so cooking at home allows Bit Bit to eat healthier with lower calories than the food outside. Bit Bit is kept full and satisfied everyday, eating all the food that Bit Bit likes, but also the calorie count is also kept within limit. Also, Bit Bit can eat all the different types of food, while saving money since it is so much cheaper than eating outside, especially food that are sold at restaurants only.

Failure is the mother of success. Every failure allows Bit Bit to learn more about cooking, and find out ways to improve them. Every success will boost Bit Bit's morale, and reconfirm the knowledge gained. No matter failure or success, Bit Bit will continue to improve and learn on the way.

Durian the King of Fruits

It is the durian season now! Bit Bit super super super loves durian, and Pig just brought back a small packet of durian. The dark yellowish and creamy texture of the durian just melts in your mouth, leaving a sweet and bitter taste lingering. It gives off a happiness feeling! The durian is also high in nutritional values!

 

 

However, the durian is high in calories, else Bit Bit would have polish off everything. And also, durian is a heaty fruit, so it should not be eaten excessively.

 

 

When Bit Bit was a child, there are two sayings to counter the heatiness of the durian. One of them is to pour water into a shell of the durian, add some salt and drink the salt water from the durian shell. Another is to eat the queen of fruits, which is mangosteen, together with durian, as it has a cooling effect.

 

 

Comparing the taste and nutritional values to the calories and heatiness of the durian, Bit Bit wonders which side will win, although Bit Bit hopes it is the former. :B

Happy Marketing Day

Bit Bit has been looking through all the many different food, and thinking of how to use the existing ingredients in the house to make those that had caught Bit Bit's eyes. Every now and then, there will always be some things missing, causing Bit Bit unable to cook them. So, today Bit Bit went to Bit Bit's favourite places - Daiso and Giant, to buy the things that she needs.

It has been a great trip, as Bit Bit bought almost all the things that Bit Bit had wanted, and Bit Bit will be able to cook many more things! :B
