Hello friends, it's been a long time since I shared a story here yeah ?
Now I'm on semester break where I will definitely spend my holiday time at home with my family. When I have holidays I cook my favorite dishes but I rarely eat them. I have a neighbor who sells sea fish or seafood. Because that uncle knew I was on holiday at home and he knew that I really like crabs, so he gave me 2kg of crabs for free without paying. I am very happy and grateful to that uncle.

I immediately told my mother and told her that I would cook this crab that day. My mother said she would tell me the spices and how to cook it but I would cook it. I immediately cleaned the crab and prepared the spices and other ingredients.

With very fresh crabs I am excited to cook and also eat them. I rarely cook heavy food like this, what's more this is also my favorite food which I think I really have to know the recipe and how to cook it. It turns out that cooking crab soup is very simple, my friends. In the past I only knew how to eat it, now I know how to cook it. I hope you also try it at home. don't forget to leave your short message about my blog today. thank you for visiting the seli blog who always learns to cook with her mother. Have a nice day seli blog readers
