A SMALL ATTEMPT TO DO SOMETHING LARGE

    Since the last lockdown, I was nurturing a desire that I would try my hands at cooking. Anything. Rice, dal, fish, noodles anything. I wanted to cook something like many of my friends doing during lockdown but never took any initiative. Let me tell you that I do not even know how to turn on the oven. I am very much afraid of fire. This is the main reason I avoid the kitchen as much as possible. I had never cooked anything in my life.

    But, today I did. I prepared my first meal. I prepared pasta in white sauce that my sister was asking me to cook for so many days. To be honest, I was a mess. The water was boiling but I still could not find out the container for the pasta. Oil was heated but my vegetables were not ready. When my vegetables were burning I called out to my sister, "what should I do?". She turned down the oven for me. I poured excessive flour. Milk was not enough. So, I had to pour more water and then more salt in order to balance the taste. And I was terrified that the hot oil would come up to my face. And it did; when I was pouring washed vegetable in it. I got some bruises on my hand. To sum up it was a mess.

    Today I am horrible at cooking. But I am happy that I tried. Likewise, I am happy to try my hands at blogging. This is my first blog, ladies and gentlemen. And this white sauce pasta is my first dish too. I was afraid of how it would turn out. As I am concerned now that how people will react to this first blog of mine. The pasta turned out to be good. It was not absolutely yum-yum but it was edible. I hope readers will find my blogs worthy to go through as well.
