Allow me to be a Stage Wife...

Yes.. Please allow me to be a stage wife in this post of mine. I have always been proud of my husband and his work that sometimes I really feel like a stage wife! This week my husband was featured in two food magazines over here in Istanbul and one daily newspaper. Of course the article was all in Turkish but I was just happy to see my husband's picture on the article and his desserts... He has always been camera shy and to see his picture in a magazine with a four page article and half a page in a newspaper makes me really proud of him.

I tried to find the web address of the said mag but I just couldn't find it so I took my reliable cam and took a picture of the articles ---> that is the stage wife in me working! Goes to show how proud I am of my chef.

So you would ask, who cooks at home if he is the chef? Of course I do the cooking now! Before I was scared to cook for him thinking he might criticize the food but I learned a little secret. I just need to kick him out of the kitchen when I cook so I won't hear any side comment or "helpful" tips from him. Lastly, I never do desserts. I always live this up to him. This is his specialty anyway.

Since I was a good stage wife, I got a creme caramel ( leche flan in Pinoy terms) and some chocolate truffles filled with lemon, banana, and raspberries ( no picture coz I ate them all!I am a petit kochon!).

Very intimidating nga lang. I had chef and waiter friends before. When I tried cooking in the kitchen, prito lang ng itlog pinupuna pa. Dyosmeh!!! Funny how you found a solution to this.; 9/01/2005 03:35:00 PM
duke said...: patrice- totoo yan lahat pinupuna! oati yung gagamitin ko na pans tatanungin! at first I was so scared to cook and then I just asked him to leave alone in the kitchen :); 9/01/2005 05:09:00 PM
