It actually starts when my wife says "shall we buy taugé (=bean sprouts) and celery again?"
I guess 30 - 35 years ago I made the following very simple dish from a cookbook and this has grown into a week of Indonesian, Surinamese, let's say exotic eating, for example Roti with chicken and wraps, Soto Ajam soup, Gado Gado and shrimp skewers with a homemade sauce of ketchup, garlic, sweet soy sauce and hot chili peppers.
(dish: pork tenderloin in sweet soy sauce and sherry with flat celery in herb stock, red pepper (as we call it: paprika), bean sprouts, sesame seeds and rice)
