Cookbooks,they're sleeping!

I have to say that I love eating!

I honestly would loved to be as productive as I can be with regards to preparing healthy and delicious meals. I got 4 recipe books and 3 from sister in law.I also got "Babies First Foods" that I intend to get for Shiela but never did I tried once.The only book that I had foods prepared is the Filipino recipe book that I carried when I flew here. It was where I learned to cook chicken curry,bake banana cake,ensaymada,empanada(where church members loved when I had them shared with them on a bring and share evening),cassava cake and many others.

Does that simply means that I am simply a Filipino and any other foreign or western or oriental foods are impossible for me to do? Or even African? I have rice almost every meal that shocked my SIL."Are you not fed up or satiated by eating rice everyday?",she asked. But what we all do?
