Frittata



Do you know somebody who performs many roles in life but still gives the best results in everything they do? Well, in the kitchen we have an ingredient which does that. And it’s no other than (drum rolls please)…..

Eggs

Yes, you heard me right. Cooking good food could not be possible if not for eggs. It just has many roles in the kitchen as it is used for binding, enriching, emulsifying, glazing, and coating, aerating and clarifying food products. Like wow, who does that all at the same time?

Reflecting…reflecting….reflecting…

Now I think I’m like an egg sometimes. I mean not really doing so many things all at the same time but I have so many interests and I do them one at a time. I love photography, so, I have my camera with me all the time so that I can take interesting photos anytime. I also love to cook, like I could cook three meals a day plus the dishes I cook in our culinary class. I draw. I paint. I style myself for pictorials. I do crafts, like a lot of them. I write stories. I write for my food blog. I read. I read a lot.

I don’t say that I give perfect results for all of this stuff like an egg perfecting a product but I always give my best in whatever I do and I think that’s enough. Eggs just tell us that there are no limits to our roles and interests in life. You have to find what you love and do it not just wishing for it to be done. It’s just crazy how things work but that’s the way it is.
