I think some of the lessons I've learned when I started this dangerous risky business is that I'm trying to be better at organizing. I'm not a clutter but also not crazy about tidiness. My ex-colleague Daniel always tease me on my level in desk-tidiness.
Another lesson : Don't rush in buying ingredients! Sure those bottles and jars in the cookbook pages look tempting. You want to create something beautiful and you need beautiful stuff too. I don't know if it's just me but my favorite part of cooking is actually shopping for ingredients! I want to fill my kitchen so it looks like it's taken from Ikea catalog. But those spices and herbs can be really expensive, if you buy it in one whole bottle it can cost a lot. BUT, thank God for Toko Setiabudhi (at least blogger from Bandung can thank God for this supermarket). For unknown reasons, they sell ingredients in these small packaging and it's really cheap! If you buy it in one bottle or can, one spice or herb can cost you 30.000 - 40.000 rupiah, but when it comes in this small package, it just costs you 4.000 - 6.000 rupiah!
then I bought this lock and lock plastic container, 22.900 rupiah for four small containers. Just perfect for my spices!
Those stacked plastic containers sit neatly on my kitchen counter. It makes me want to create something out of them!
Have you got any tips to save money or to save the kitchen from a total mess? Please share, of course funny stories are always welcome! :D
