And for my next trick…

My Lady’s close friend and colleague Mrs White Sage is turning fifty in a few months and her daughter kindly asked me if I would like to contribute my favourite recipe to a recipe book she is making. I used to spend so much time in the kitchen. Even trained as a chef for a bit. The point is I used to love cooking. This is the first time since My Lady passed that I have actually put together a FRESH meal in some time. Other than a few roasts. I don’t know why but my Chicken Chow Mein was always lacking something and I never figured out what it was. Randomly tried oyster sauce and oh my it was lovely. Of course it was, it just had to be now My Lady isn’t here to taste it. I know her pallet inside out and she would have loved it. You see, everything I ever did was either for My Lady or with her in mind… Always was. Cliche it may be, but it’s true. I never realised how much until I lost her. So, the Chow Mein… I thought it would be a major chore given my motivation the last few days. And, just like playing the guitar or gardening or whatever, once I got started I fell in to that weird place I go when super focussed. Still don’t know what to call it. Maybe “ In the zone” as a sportsperson would say. I enjoyed cooking it and I even enjoyed eating it this time. Skills!
