Cooking on wheels

As part of my skating training, I'm supposed to practice frequently to get the comfort of wearing large boots and to be able to balance on the wheels. Never did so, the only time I wore the skates were in the classes. Fortunately, today I ended up early at home and it was my turn at the kitchen today. I thought of practicing scissors (wherein your legs are almost one behind the other) on skates for a while before getting on to cooking.

It's fairly easy on the carpet to balance than on the rink. But still I need to work on my scissors. As time went by, I felt more comfortable on the wheels. So I thought, why not start cooking while on the wheels. It's a crazy thought believe me. On carpet is one thing, but the kitchen floor is smooth like the rink. Astonishingly, I was comfortable on the kitchen floor too...okay I had close objects to hold on ;-). I completed my cooking totally on the wheels. Not a great cook myself, it's actually very easy, talking about cooking here. I just put everything I can grab from the refrigerator on to the pan and let it heat up. Switch it off when the fire alarm goes off and you're done with a delicious side dish for your rice which was to be made in a rice cooker (not so challenging).

It did make some difference on the wheels, like nearly cutting my finger with the knife, which was really a close shave, and nearly dropping the pan. It was fun and a new experience. Hope I get better and lucky not to fall next time too.

later...
