perfect harmony in Snippets

I learned how to cook when I spent my years living as a girl. It was probably the one thing I enjoyed about the whole experience. I was good at it and it was fun. But I never told anybody that because fun wasn't part of the prescribed punishment. Back then roles were defined for boys and girls. I spent lots of time learning to sew( I hated it), knitting(I sat there with the needles never doing anything), laundry, ironing, cooking, and the list goes on and on.

But cooking was something I had a knack for . One my first dishes was chicken l'orange with rice pilaf. The meal was for 18 people(12 residents and six staff) so I had to triple the ingredients. The rice was great and chicken was good too but it was a little overcooked It was my first real meal for more than myself that wasn't grilled cheese.

People called me chink so I figured I was part Chinese and my last name was French. So half French and half Chinese. Not a bad mix. Half of me liked cooking the other half liked eating. Perfect Harmony
