DH is craving my home country's "Singapore" local dish...
Yah, it is that good that he (the American Polish) craves it as he would his mom's cooking.
Does that mean I am comparable to his mom in his eyes when it comes to cooking?
Maybe so (not baking though)...
BUT I could never top her as a house keeper & decorator though... My MIL is like Martha Stewart. Lol!
