Damn! Am good in burning food anytime i cook, really dont know why. Not very good in kitchen, made a lot of blunders, from undone foods to burnt ones. The last one i made, i used a whole lot of tasty-tom tin tomatoes on just 3 cups of rice! Though it was sweet but it was like i used 1ltr of blood to cook dat jollof rice, nawa o! 1 Like |

In a hurry to watch a movie on Tv, I mistakenly added a kerosene to a pot of beans thinking it was water. The whipping I received from my mother nearly sent me to heaven. I was 14. 2 Likes |

I remembered visiting a friend in her hostel and met her making egusi balls with palm oil and pepper, I asked what they re for she said she will fry it and cook it like egusi soup, I thought I ve learnt a new cooking skills, as I went to see my boyfriend the next weekend I decided to make the delicious egusi balls soup, o boy I made the balls and fried them till they almost burnt, when I tried adding the balls to the soup, the egusi balls did not dissolve, it was just like a watery soup with akara balls inside, I discarded the soup sharperly and called him to buy food on his way that I couldn't cook. 1 Like |

I remember back then in my second year. My roomy and I were walking down the market to buy stuff for jellof rice when an elderly lady dashed ur coconut. We changed plan to cook coconut-rice. We had no grinder,so we decided to chip it like onion into bits. I dnt know how to make it and my roomy claim to be champion. We fried the coconut like onion and mixed it with the rice. Mehn, after the food is done and lodge mates don gather they come eat coconut-rice...it wasn't funny cos noone could eat the food.lol |
