Cooking contest at the office

Last July 2, on our monthly general assembly, my boss insisted that we each cook a dish and bring it for our first-ever pot luck lunch. This was initiated by our endless, but more than de rigueur, grievances with our everyday catered lunches (as one of my officemates described our lunches, “You’d envy those that are starving because at least they aren’t FORCED to eat these.”).

Anyhow, the pot luck lunch is actually a contest on who can cook better than our caterer, and who can bring the most appetizing dish. At the end of the almost-two-buffet-rounds-per-person lunch, my boss asked us to vote for the best dish (excluding the ones we prepared). Guess which dish got 5 out of 12 votes? My Chicken Curry! ^_^

Considering that it’s the only decent dish I can cook (minus all the fried ones), and I just learned it this year for my sister’s birthday, I think I may have a future in cooking. I ought to start trying out new dishes. Perhaps even enroll in a cooking school such as http://www.baychef.com/ and try to make a living out of it afterwards. Hmmmm…
