Response:

I didn't like the way I made it. My dad ate some and he said he enjoyed it. We saved the rest in the fridge and reheated it later and it tasted worse. Why does food always taste worse through microwave? I hate that. Some poeple say you have to cook with love. This dish was not made with love at all.
I enjoy eating meals cooked by elder people. I think its because I trust them and I'm sur ethey have much more experience with cooking. I don't trust myself cooking. I don't usually like it, but others do.
My dad always complains that my generation needs to learn how to cook. That we're too stuck on our computers, television, phones, video games, etc. According to my dad, we're spoiled and we like everything handed to us. I kind of think he's right. I am spoiled in the sense that I'd much rather have someone do something for me that I know will come out better rather than do it myself and practice and keep learning.
Back when my father was younger, him, his friends, and family were used to playing outside. Hardly talking on the phone, spending time in the kitchen, eating dinners together, etc. We don't do that anymore. We've taken advantage of our family-time and culture. Food used to be a really big part of culture in terms of bringing family together. Now-a-days I feel like even though food is still a part of our culture, it doesn't really bring family together as much.
