Insights From the Kitchen.

Life is like cooking; deviate from the recipe every now and then - and see how it tastes.

Now I can follow a recipe like the best of them and I had wanted to be a chef when I was a kid.  (But I wanted a social life, not the hours of a chef.)

At home we cook a lot of Thai food (we love it,  and we know we’ve found a good Thai restaurant when the aroma and taste of the food makes us feel as if we are on the streets of Bangkok).

When Kerrie returned from 2 weeks in Thailand (several years ago) I was so pleased to see her that I said she could pick any restaurant she wanted to go to as a celebration of her return.  Kerrie picked… drum roll please… you guessed it… the local Thai restaurant!

Anyway,  when I was cooking a thai curry the other night, making it the same way I always do; the thought occurred to me “why don’t I deviate… experiment… stray from my usual recipe?”  We were pleasantly surprised by the result.

Life is a bit like that.  Every now and again (or every day if you’re keen), challenge yourself to try something new.  Then life won’t become monotonous.

You never know.  You may just like it.

One of my favourite questions is -
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
