Cooking Milestone
The Chinese are finicky about their kind of food. Much like Indians, they're not very fond of people improvising and making fusion versions of their cuisines. Oh admit it, all you Indians/Chinese, we love to scoff at the anglicized versions of spicy Indian/Chinese dishes.
Today, I inadvertently cooked Chinese food for three Chinese friends today (what was I thinking?!) and they loved it. And no, unlike what Ritwik believes, they were not being polite (hey, thanks for the faith, man). Nothing like watching people devour the product of one's experimentation; a friend who had, for some strange reason weighed himself before and after the meal gained a kilo from eating pots of my cooking - I'm flattered :D The is the best compliment ever.
This, my dear friends, is a cooking milestone; I'm so proud of my cooking self *beam*

Btw, this whole cooking-at-home on a regular basis is a BIG lifestyle shift, people, for folks like myself who've had cheap, tasty food at our disposal for a solid seven n a half years in Singapore. So, yes, I am bound to make a big deal out of it :)
