Got any favourite dishes/recipes from your family, that you just haven't gotten around to learning how to prepare? But one day, if you'll stop procrastinating, you will?
I do. I have cookbooks but there are certain recipes that benefit from direct demonstration and tips from my mother. Just reading a static recipe is just part of story.
They are:
a) Sticky rice bundles with meat/egg/Chinese sausage/some lentils wrapped in bamboo or lotus leaves. There is a real art of tying up the friggin' rice bundles with the kitchen string so rice bundles don't accidentally burst apart in cooking process. So some siblings actually videofilmed my mother doing this. Dunno where that videoclip is right now.
b) Certain dim sum-- haven't yet made anything from start to finish. Just know how to stuff up the dim sum and do the dough pleating.
