SZ Home. Last week, I was drafting on a training document and finally complete it at 11pm and thought of getting a bath before continue the next one. After bath, I wipe off everything in the document to use the template for next doc, then only found out I deleted all the content I have just prepared and I do not have a backup copy. FML

After the first successful attempt of preparing a Crispy Salmon, MAN’s highly passionate on cooking. He looks for recipes and every single ingredient have to be in place before he starts to cook. As for me, a stingy one that always look for replacement in order to save up a bit and at the same time not wasting those ingredient that we probably only going to use for once. But MAN has his point, we need to at least follow the recipe for once so we know how it actually taste, we can get replacement in the next try, and also adjust the recipe to suit our taste. That makes sense.

Eventually, our refrigerator stocked up with ingredients that used only once or twice. We have fresh herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary and they do not last for long. A big packet of breadcumbs that used only once. Leftover Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese that have been used for different dishes and a lot more.

MAN is training himself to be a Master Chef and I’m training myself to be a Creative Chef a.k.a leftover chef. I have to train myself to be as creative as possible to use up all the leftover to come out with new dishes.

This is MAN’s second attempt, Black Pepper Steak. It’s never in my mind that steak with just sprinkle of black pepper and salt tastes so good.
