The First Time You Cooked?

lmao   

I don't know oO! I think we need the Protein much more than the Females! Like they say, givers shouldn't lack

Peace Out!

i meant in campus dorm rooms. How many guys bring beans to school? its either rice and/or garri.
And the tinned tomatoes, salt and dry pepper thingy - how dare you call it horrible?  some of us lived on that for months! 

In those days, "Concortions" cook faster to Beans, so most guys will prefer sharp-sharp cookery in the hostels. But it's my specials, so I cook it especially when i've got "August Visitors".

But going to restaurant, I think we go for Bread and Beans simply because it's more filling and carry us through large chunk of the day. Remember those times when you finish a plate of rice and then before you reach outside, it's already digested. But that's not true for classic BB, Amala, Fufu, Eba etc.

These are my own opinion, yours might be of slightly different view.

Peace Out!

Did I hear somebody say concortion? That was the first food I cooked and it was very delicious. I am now a specialist in that area of cooking

@ TOPIC

I remembered the first time I cooked, My Grandma was visiting and she was hungry.
I decided to boil some spaghetti for her but unfortunately she hasn't seen spaghetti in her life
and she thought i was cooking worms and she started screaming at me, like "what kind of useless child are you". "so now you eat worms and you want me to eat this rubbish". she gave me a nasty slap 
but parents explained to her later

Method: Okay, the first time I cooked, it wasn't really bad. It was me and my brother actually. We were making spaghetti. We let the salted water boil (or do you salt it after boiling)? Anyway, trust me, we didn't get the salting wrong. Then we dumped the pile of spaghetti inside the pot, not bothering to spread it.

Result: All the spaghetti stuck together. It wasn't really bad actually, only needed a little spoon separation.

OMOGE!!!!

I don't like remembering it because, it reminds me of how vengeful I am. There is this friend of my mum, I dislike her with passion, she came to our house and my mum offered to cook Amala to entertain her. My mum's friend said: you are spoiling your daughter, she can't cook at her age. so my mum asked me to prepare the amala. After, I tried my best to prepare it as well as I could, my mum's friend was still complaining about some lumps in the Amala. I was furious, went back to prepare the thing again, but I made sure I sprinkled loads salt on her portion of Amala. Every yoruba should know that amala and salt are good enemies. before she could even start eating it, the thing had turned into water.

The first time I cooked,I offered up a burnt offering.

The first time i cooked was terrible, and that day i hate my dad for never let me go to da kitchen, because i was in a strange land with no papa, no mama and no sisters to help cook, so i have to try to cook, nealy burnt down the house, and i remember putting rice on da stove, but i met ashes with black pot, side effect of being the only boy, but now don't mess with me, i can cook anything,

hmm till today i still burn my food. i have no sense of time whatsoever. i fit dey cook, make i take bath or just totally zone out watching tv. what usually alerts me is the smell of the food burning. me i no sabi dey stand or check am every 10 mins o. shuo!

I'm sure wherever you are, you can buy one of those automatic rice cookers, that way, even if you forget, the cooker switches off once there is no water there again. You can use these type of cookers to cook nearly anything now ,  so there you go

Peace Out!

I can't really rmember my first time but i remember those early times, once i was asked to boil yam to be pounded and i thought oh easy, i peeled the yams on fire with enough salt, Result, not edible.

Another time i had to put kerosene in the stove as it went out from big sis cooking banga soup with all sorts in it, Gbam kerosene spilled in it, u can imagine what she did to me .But now, i'm a pro,want to try?

Rice cookers are incredible.
I have 2.
a big one and a small one.
They are a must have for anybody who burns rice.

For stew,I hang around the kitchen cleaning until the tomato has dried then I add water and my meat stock then turn it down on low and leave it there for hours.
The other thing I burn frequently is moi moi.
someone needs to come up with a moi moi cooker with a timer.
I wonder if moi moi will do well in a pressure cooker with timer,I've never tried it.


Omoge,I hear the new one is cooking jollof rice in the oven,have you tried it,?give me the tips or can someone who has tried it help me out,I'll like to try it.
I hear it's the best

soul, hahaha 

for me, i got everything i needed once i moved into the college housing. even though my roomies all agreed i can use their stuffs, i went shopping for everything a girl needed in the kitchen. Because i always make my meals, i bought a set of pots and a cooker. one of the pots was so huge lol my roommates were laughing. i told them it's for stew because i don't want the alarm going off from anything pouring out. i love cooking my live crabs in it too because they can't jump out  some i don't really use but it is good to have them.
so Soul, your mom is right my sister. good you plan to get them.

Babyosisi, really? i haven't heard about that o. i still use my huge pot for Jollof rice. if i come across it, i will definitely buy it. I like ratting in the stores for latest but haven't come across the J rice cooker yet.
