Savory Pancakes

Yeah you read that correctly! I sometime surprise myself in making something yummy. I can hear you all gasping, but I think I am the most surprised.

My Dad has been asking for a specific dish lately, and I decided that I was going to learn how to make it. Why not? I have all the time in the world.

Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I was determined make something edible. I was making okonomiyaki. (It's basically a Japanese veggie pancake with meat, and is topped off with seaweed, fish flakes, and sauce.)

After an hour of shredding cabbage, mixing batter, and preparing the sauce, I was ready to call it quits. I was in way over my head, and I didn't know how the dish was going to turn out.

I decided to wing it, and serve it to my family anyway. My mom usually eats anything I make without complaining. (I love my mommy.)

I was pleasantly surprised when my family told me they loved it. I actually did something right, and the okonomiyaki turned out delicious.

I was happy. I think it's because I learned to make something without messing up. It usually takes me many tries. Maybe cooking isn't as bad as I imagined it. :)
