Emeril thinks his mom is the world’s best cook. Well, he is wrong. My mom is. I don’t like eating at Vietnamese restaurants because it would be an insult to my mother who can make everything 100 times better and twice as fast. So during break I have been eating mom’s cooking everyday. Trinity’s food is not so bad, but after awhile we all begin to miss mom’s cooking. Today I had wonton soup for lunch. My mom made the stuffing and I wrapped the little wontons. It was so yummy! Right now it is very cold outside so hot wonton soup is the best for this weather. The wonton is pretty easy to make but the stuffing requires some expertise. Mom usually does all the cooking on holidays and everyone we know comes over to enjoy. My mother uses no recipes; she didn’t have any training; and she does not use state of the art appliances either. She is just a good cook. My brother also cooks very well. My sister can bake. She made macaroons again. They are equally yummy. Macaroons, hot jasmine tea, and a good book make the perfect recipe for New Years celebration. I am the only one who cannot cook. No matter, if everyone in the family did the cooking, who would enjoy the food?

Wonton Soup. Yummy.
