Je dois avouer que je ne suis pas vraiment douée pour la cuisine. Vous ne pouvez pas compter sur moi pour faire de bons plats ! Je ne suis pas fait pour être un cordon bleu ! Quand j'étais encore célibataire je me rappelle que je n'aimais pas faire la cuisine et je préfèrais faire du ménage. Mon Pére adore cuisiner et a chaque fois il demandait toujours à mon frère de voir comment il faisait. Moi et ma soeur plus âgées n'étions pas vraiment intéressées ! Bon, je ne voudrais pas donner tout les details. Comme mon mari a toujours dit notre cuisine est un "LABORATOIRE" parce que tout est expérience à l'intérieur. N'est ce pas terrifiant? Vous ne savez pas ce dont je suis capable. J'aurais aimé vous inviter chez moi mais j'ai peur que ça soit une mauvaise idée!
Les français aiment leur riz (non-collant) tandis que les Philippins aiment le riz collant.
A table :
Mon Mari : Quest-ce que tu as fait de bons aujhourd'hui ?
Moi : Ah rien de special ! J'ai preparé du riz avec la sauce curry et parprika. Comme Laurent (notre ami qui cuisine bien) a fait. J'ai suivi la recette et c'est tout!
Il y avait du saumon a côté. Je suis en train de servir mon mari et puis il me dit :
Mon Mari : Hhhhmm ça l'air bon ce que tu as preparé!
Moi : J'espère bien ! Attends tu n'as pas encore gôuté !
En attendant, quand il a vu comment le riz a été fait cuit il a été consterné. Donc, l'humour Giraldi (comme j'ai toujours dit) est tout de suite sorti sans réfléchir qu'il pouvait me vexer!
Mon Mari : Tiens, ça me fais penser à la publicité Royal Canin pour la nouriture des chiens !
Je l'ai juste regardé comme si j'avais voulu le tuer pour avoir fait une mauvaise plaisanterie! Je me suis excusé de la table en pluerant car il m'a tellement blessé.
Pour tout vous dire, je suis allé à la cuisine en pleurant pas parce que je ne suis pas bonne à la cuisine. Ce que j'essaye de préciser ici est comment il a dit les choses. Je veux dire, une personne peut faire de la critique constructive et non pas pour vexer quelqu'un et leurs sentiments. Mon mari m'a suivi et s'est excusé. Il m'a expliqué qu'il a essayé d'être drôle ! Drôle ? Ce n'était pas rigolo! Et j'essaye de lui dire que si'l n'apprécie pas la manière dont je cuisine, il vaut mieux qu'il prenne des leçons et qu'il cuisine pour nous ! Voyons si'l trouvera si faire la cuisine est facile ! Il n'a pas arrêté de dire à quel point il était désolé. Il a essayé de me consoler, mais, les dommages étaient faits….c'était trop tard ! Naturellement à la fin de cette histoire je lui pardonné et nous avons fait la paix. C'est une heurese fin encore une fois!

I must admit that I am not really good in the kitchen. Most especially, I am not a type of person you can count on that. I am not a cordon bleu chef! When I was still single I remember that I didn't really like it and I prefer to do household chores. Dad loves cooking and when he does he always asked my brother to see how he cooks. Me and my eldest sister were not interested at all! Well, I will not tell you all the embarrasing moment I did. Like my husband often calls our kitchen "LABORATORY" because everything is experimented. Isn't that terrifying? You don't know what I am capable of. I would have like to invite you at home but I am afraid that would be a bad idea!
At the table:
My Husband: What have you prepared something good for today?
Me: Oh nothing special! I prepared rice cooked with curry and parprika. Like Laurent (our friend who cooks well) did. I followed the recipe and that's it!
There was salmon on the side. I was serving my husband and then he said to me :
My Husband : Hhhhmm what you have prepared looks delicious!
Me: I hope well! Wait until you have taste it!
Meanwhile, when he the saw the rice how it was cooked he was dismayed. And so, the Giraldi humor (as I've always call it) went just like that without him thinking that it would annoy me.

My Husband: Look, this makes me think of a publicity of Royal Canine a food for the dogs!
I threw a glance at him as if I wanted to kill him to have made a bad trick! I excused myself from the table crying because he annoyed me so much.
So to make the story short, I went to the kitchen crying it's not because I am not good in the kitchen. What I am trying to point out here is how he says things. I mean, a person can make constructive criticism and not to vetiate someone's feeling. Husband followed me and excused himself. He explained to me that he was trying to be funny! Funny? It was not humorous! And me trying to tell him if you don't appreciate the way I cooked you better take cooking lesson and then you cook for us ! Let us see if you find cooking simple ! He did not stopped how sorry he was. He tried to console me but then, the damaged has been done....it was too late ! Of course, at the end of the story I have forgiven him and we made peace. It's an happy ending once again!

How i wish me,too...
Your post encourage me to continue my driving lesson... i was about to surrender eh! lol
And about cooking, i agree with u & understand what u felt, medyo masakit yong joke na yon ah! My husband, i can say he's a good cook, while me naman i know how to cook..simple recipes lang naman but he always appreciates my cooking kaya mas lalo akong ganahan sa pagluluto, sometimes naman kahit lata ang rice, he just say like: "hmm it's good but maybe next time you put less water, ma cherie". Anyway, your husband just really kidding & didn't intention to hurt your feelings, it can happen some jokes na nakakasakit. Anyhow, most important, peace na kayo and happy together! hehe
Sensitive ka pala Haze. Hope you are used to your hubby's humour now.
And congrats on the "A"
Huuby is not really difficult when it comes to food, he eats almost everything and he loves Pinoy foods. He oftens congratulate me because I REALLY made a progress in the kitchen, kaso nung araw na yon as in gutom na gutom sya! So his expectations is unreachable ! Misunderstanding happens in every relationship and but the most important thing is that we talk it out, learn from each other, forgive & forget , anyway these are just small things!
Leah : I am reassured Leah, thanks :)!
Yes I am sensitive when cooking is concern because it is not my strong quality. And I am really doing a BIG effort to please him. As the saying goes " the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"! Don't worry I get used of his humour and it's doesn't happen everytime I cook, I assure you ;)!
Thanks for the greeting Leah!
But take it as a contructive critism, challenge baga.
Sabi nga ni leah, try and error, and masarap yang curry and paprika as sauce with coconut milk, naku igisa mo lang sa butter and sibiyas, lagay mo yang sangkap, ça marche!
basta, taung mga pinoy, willing to learn, thats recommendable, wala yan sa mga français, hilig nila microwaved menus, kasi tamad mag luto, tayo, sipag dyan haha!
o siya, bon weekend!
with frenchguy, he did the cuisine scenario when i just arrived here.. and ang loko, he invited 2 friends without my permission, dahil ayaw daw nyang mamatay mag isa.. ang masama pa, dating katrabaho ko pa sa pinas nun (i wasnt working at that time yet).. so imagine kung gaano ako kaasar talo... i was super embarrased na but i was obliged to be friendly pa... pano ba naman, sunog na nga yung afritada ko, ang alat pa hehe..
Exactly we should experiment I guess the grand chef started from there !
O si frenchhoney ko hindi talaga marunong magluto! But what I like in him he's not choosy when it comes to food !
Makis : I definitely agree Makis ! I am very gourmand but I don't know how to cook either! But since I got married I am oblige and I myself would like to learn how to cook since frenchhoney is a no cook too :( ! I just don't want to buy ready to eat food, canned goods all the time! Family should eat well :)! Right, now we can say we are a cooking frenchspeaking Filipina eh!
Analyse : Hahahaha what a funny story! French gastronomy is one of the best kaya naman they have high expectations. Oh Ana, I started without knowing about everything in the kitchen and hey don't worry you are a working Mom. Cooking needs time ! In due time, you will learn if you are really willing and interested in doing so. Me, I ask my friends, & french family surf from the internet to have good recipes :) ! Kaya mo yan Ana ! Ikaw pa Super MOM ;) !
im sure ur hubby didnt mean to offend u hehe. cguro it was his subtle way of saying "honey, pls cook something edible next time" hehehe. baka ganyanin dn ako ng magiging asawa ko someday or worst baka layasan ako kc baka puro instant ang ipakain ko o kaya kain n lng kami sa labas palagi hahaha.

You're right he didn't mean it! It was just a bad joke, lalo na pag gutom na gutom sya!!!
Apol : Good thing for you Apol, at least you know how to please a person :) ! So Pierre is particular too because maybe he cooks well and there is a touch of competition between you! Who's cooks the best? Anyway, you know frenchies I guess they born critics when it comes to gastronomy (kahit di marunong magluto katulad ng asawa ko) co'z they are used to eating good food talag. Right sa atin kasi talagang we appreciate whatever is on the table!
during my first years of marriage, i tried to cook, but i have long ago given up. my husband would tell his friends, "my wife is a good cook. every time she cooks, she has a cookbook, a can opener and a canned good", the he laughs out loud. then also he would say, "and the dogs end up fully fed and happy". even though it was only out to humor, it bites. until now, i don't cook! my mom does, am so lucky she lives with me, my husband and 7 kids!
Since I don't have my parents with me I am oblige to cook for my family. I am proud to say that I can cook now & I am enjoying to prepare good & healthy food for them. I discover some recipes, I learn from myself and I am proud to be one!
Wow, you're lucky to have your Mom with you at home! As the saying goes Mom knows best ;)! I wish I could have my parents with me anytime :)!
