Story Time!

My mum is usually the one to be cooking everything at home. But that all changed when I turned 12! This was the first time I've ever helped out in the kitchen with my mum so I felt really proud of myself.

At home, my family usually makes pasta if we wanted something more than just another traditional Chinese dish. This time, we decided to make a filling pasta dish. So my mum starts off with boiling pasta from a box (Yes, from a box!). I, as the handy helper of the day got to stir in all of the ingredients in the pot. Me, as the little sous chef really enjoyed cooking with my mum even though I only stirred the ingredients in a pot. So as my mum keeps adding the ingredients, I just kept mixing and mixing and mixing until the 15 minutes of mixing was up! What we got to eat that day was a big bowl of Kraft’s Dinner!

Over the years of eating KD, I learned that I do not like mac and cheese. I would usually douse my KD with ketchup to get the gross taste out of my mouth, but sometimes I put a little bit too much and then all I could taste was ketchup. So now, I gave up on KD all together.

Most of you are probably thinking, “How can you not like KD?!”, “Giving it up is like suicide!”, or “You’re a crazy lady!!”. I’ve just grown old and tired of it, but now I moved on to better pasta dishes, like homemade pasta!!
