After deciding that living simply will be the way to go, I sat down to plan my dinner menu for the week. The gas stove will only be turned-on on Saturday. Meanwhile, my dinners would have to be prepared using what I have; the rice cooker, grill and microwave oven.
After work I hopped down NTUC like a woman on a mission. As usual, I have a list for everything and I did have a list for the dinners for the week.
The list for the week
Mon – NTUC bbq chicken with canned soup and kidney beans
Tue - Ham sandwich with melted cheese (green peppers & tomatoes)
Wed – Hot dog bun with radish
Thurs – Steamed rice in corn soup and corn beef
Fri - Steamed rice with pork chop and bamboo shoots
I left the house with a burden on my shoulders. Feeling poor, starting from zero. However, I journeyed home with a purpose in my heart. Yes I have to start from scratch. But as a wife, I feel it’s my duty to make the house into a home. And with what I can do, I will use my cooking skills to comfort the situation we are in now.
I remember Nora mentions,” It’s a test that every newly wed goes through. Somehow when you overcome it, it’s like it was never there at all.
How true.
And today, while adding corn soup into the pot of steaming rice…I feel that I have overcame my situation. I do not feel poor. I feel rich. In heart, mind and soul.
