Moving takes its toll on you in more ways than I could have imagined. On one hand, I feel like my arms and legs have gotten stronger from all the lifting I've done. But any Gainz that may have come from that are more than wiped out from how my bank accounts are significantly lighter than they were about a month and a half ago. Now as I sit in a bare-walled but now mostly furnished apartment, I am finally getting back into stride with cooking food beyond the formula of:

Rice + Eggs (friend or scrambled) + Kale + Asian Inspired Sauce = Dinner

Palate boredom plus my boyfriend returning from a month abroad are just two main reasons I finally have an excuse to cook more complete meals. This past weekend, with dinner time looming, I resorted to something I enjoy for its simplicity and deliciousness - my version of Shrimp Scampi Pasta and a arugula side salad with bacon fat vinaigrette.

S&A Snap Cooking Ep.2 - Homemade ShopHouse and My Favorite Food to Make

When people find out I enjoy cooking, one of the most frequently asked questions I get asked is "What is your favorite food to make?" I get kind of frustrated when I hear this question as I don't have a "favorite" food to make. Sure, some foods may be more "fun" or "playful" to make like pizza (who doesn't like playing with stretchy dough?), but that doesn't mean that I don't equally enjoy making a roast or a pasta dish. Each different dish and cuisine is enjoyable for different reasons, whether it be technical skills involved, the opportunity to pull out a fun tool or gadget, or the finished product being rich and savory or light and sweet. Each dish is unique, and while that may sound like the wishy washy, politically correct, United Nations answer, it is true.

Now, if I gave the full answer above to everyone who asked me that question, I'd probably would have been committed to an asylum by now or have next to no friends. After thinking it over more, I did realize I did appreciate one group of food more for how bold their flavors are, and that is South East Asian and Indian Cuisine.
