Its...I was so annoyed today with one of my friends. Itseems she luvvvvs my cooking. It's great to know that she enjoys my cooking, but that's no reason to demand me to cook whatever she wants. This has been going on for a while now. By the way, she is not new to cooking. I gave her the point-by-point recipes so many times. She simply says, she likes it when I cook. But it's not the same for me, I like it better when I cook something myself. Anyway, she never offers me when something she cooks comes out really well. She hogs on it and finishes the stuff only to tell me the next day that she made something and it came out realllly well. But when it comes to me, I have serious warnings from her that I shouldn't cook something without offering her.<br /><br />Why don't people have any empathy??????<br /><br />Sorry for all the cribbing even before any introductions. But I am so bugged that I wanted share it with someone who had similar experiences. I don't have my own blog yet. <br /><br />I love cooking. Glad to find ur blog.

When I see that look of appreciation on the faces of friends when I bring them a treat, I always have a realization that I enjoy giving as much as they enjoy receiving.
