Chef at Home

K sat with us during lunch. She has a chef dad.
"You must have great dishes to eat every day at home, right?" D said.
"Why?" K looked surprised.
"Your father is a chef."
"Oh, yes. He cooked all kinds of dishes in the restaurant, but in a different way at home. Vegetables are boiled only, no oil added. He even does not want to put much sauce". I can see the pain on her face; she is obviously a one who knows how to enjoy life. "Fish is steamed, and no oil -- you know it lacks something if no oil. Something is missing ..."
"He just likes such light food?"
"Not at all," K said, "when we ate out, he enjoyed the rich sauce and those unhealthy dishes. "
"When eating out, one has an excuse to have unhealthy dishes." I said. It is my happy time to have the brown sauced slow cooked fat pork when eating in Chinatown.
"Exactly. Cooking at home, no excuse anymore."
