First try on cooking...

Still remember when i was very young, the first food that i cooked was fried egg! I didnt use the stove, but it was by charcoal cooking, those that you will use while slow cooking soups. My mother wouldnt let me use the stove as she thought that i might hurt myself... Maybe this led me to the curiousity of cooking...n which in turn becomes a passion! Ya, and the guinea pig was my younger sister...and it is just about the feeling that someone jobbles down your food n finds it delicious... Yeah satisfied!

Heard a lot about this plant and I really wonder if this plant really does wonders? If it was about a chance, I really hope that it is a miracle plant...at least there is still a chance... and it is better than having none...
