To cook a fish, or not to
With an unknown fish, cooking it well is often challenging!
To cook a fish or not to, that was the question!
Often times when I get some unknow food, which I wonder how to process, I try to cook it in a general way. So that, even if the food fails to impress me, the setup itself can carry me along. After all, food costs money so I cannot waste it.
I was pretty depressed yesterday. As your dentist suddenly announces you need 3700 euros for treatment, it is natural to be sad! Not to mention the other stuff that has been going on since last month! Depression has been unavoidable. One of the ways I deal with depression is cooking. When I go to cook with some song or audiobook on the earphone, I forget all the other curve balls life has been throwing at me, and focus only on the task at hand.
It was midnight, around 12:30 oβclock, and I went to cook. Took me an hour or so to bring it together. The end result looks decent enough. I am pretty certain no matter how the fish is, I will be able to eat that throughout the week.
I havenβt mastered the art of cooking fish yet. I wonder if I will ever reach that height. But, for now this will do.
All the other worries is still hear, eating me up on the go, as I keep eating the cooking I put my heart in. Tough life? Perhaps, but everyone is having to face that toughness. I am not doing anything special!
