During this quarantine I have been really bored. With nothing much to do, I have had a lot of time to take up new hobbies and learn new skills. A good place to learn more life hacks or new recipes is TikTok. Even though it is mainly used social media app, you can learn a lot from what people have posted. There are many people using the app and they also post a great quantity of useful videos.

So one of the new hobbies I have picked up is cooking. My mother loves to cook and is always eager to try new things. So when I asked her to try these new recipes she was delighted. I am very new to the whole cooking scene so it has been a challenge for me. But the videos on TikTok are very easy to use and are also extremely quick. One thing my mother and I have tried is a drink. A coffee drink to be exact. I usually don’t like coffee drink but this one was surprisingly good. It is called “fluffy coffee”. Basically you just whip instant coffee into a creme consistency. Then you pour it onto some milk. Another recipe we tried is pancake cereal. I can’t say this was my favorite dish, but overall it was pretty good. To make this, the first step is to make mini pancakes, about the size of dime. This may take a while to make because it requires a fair amount of mini pancakes. Lastly, you just put the pancakes into some milk.

Even though this may be a very difficult time for some, I choose to look on the bright side. A time to learn new things and spend time with your family. Although these circumstances aren’t ideal, it is a perfect time to pick up new skills. Since we have a lot of time on our hands and nowhere to go cooking is an amazing pass time and hobby.
