food for thought

i realized how difficult it must be for stay-at-home moms to plan a meal plan for an entire week. i should know because we've been growing tired of the traditional filipino dishes we've been cooking lately. while its not a case of "we've cooked everything filipino imaginable" we've run out of the easy-to-cook recipes. its only a matter of time before you get tired of eating sinigang, nilaga, tinola, barbecue, paksiw, pata, menudo, caldereta, etc etc ... we always get stumped at the grocery wondering what we should cook for the next week. ugh, who would have thought this can be this hard?

its probably a great time to pursue my hidden passion for cooking, i told myself after mba, i should start pursuing my other interests - culinary, photography, learning a new language, post-processing. i should make an effort rather than wait for things to settle down - with the way life is, things never settle down. maybe i should just wait for this year to be over and then i can start with a priority list (i wanted to say plan, but i said before - i don't want to make long-term plans anymore) for 2008. hopefully, 2008 will usher in the changes which i am so determinedly pursuing this last quarter.
