Sweet Omellete with garnished honey-rolled pancakes~*%£$. Always prefer frying. mmmmmmhhh, tastes great!

oyinda.:

why do you say 'probably' won't taste good? have u tried making them?
yea sometimes when u try to make new stuff it comes out pretty bad the first time but after the second or third time, it gets better.
and most of the time if the food doesn't taste right to u, it prolly tastes right to others around u. lol

haha @ ur being spoiled. lucky girl

well i have tried making things twice, both times came out like crap. lol

i havent really tried making some of them, but i know its going to come out like crap, like most other things ive tried.

i can only cook really basic things. lol

even my own mother said that my cooking wasnt that good.

my mom is a great cook!!! i dont know why it isnt passing down to me. :|

ouch. why doesn't she teach u or show u the steps?
did u even know what u were doing when u made the food? or have a recipe? lol

well i didnt have a recipe.

my mom would just tell me what to do and when to add or mix something.

but i dont blame my mom, she doesnt have too much time to teach me anyway.

she works a lot and she works night also, so much of the day she is sleeping recovering from the night shift.

she takes the time she can sometimes to teach me.

but OMG, MY MOM MAKES THE BEST FUFU SOUP!!!!

you have to try it.

in nigeria, when she cooked soup for the whole family (about 21 people) my whole family wanted to lick their fingers off the soup was so good. they LOVED IT!

it had egusi and another substance (i cant spell it. lol) in it that made it draw soup. and then she added meat and okporoko or stock fish.

it was the best!!!

btw, okporoko/stock fish is my favorite fish. that is the only fish i can eat. lol

haha I knew a naija girl whose mom made her take cooking lessons. lol
moms always make the best food. it's all the years of experience. i'm sure u'll overtake ur mom soon sef. u seem to have a love of food haha
was that okro or ewedu? i'm guessing ur igbo. i dunno what ewedu is in ur language. lol
ha i love stock fish too! well in fact i love all kinds of fish

hahaha yes im igbo. but im embaressed when i say i cannot even speak my own lingue franca!!

i was born and raised in the US. so when i was growing up everyone around me was speaking english, so i ended up only learning english. i feel sad that i couldnt learn my language. the one my mother was speaking to me didnt catch on.

i only eat stock fish. my mother doesnt like any othe fish either. so when i was growing up she only bought stock fish because thats the only fish she liked. she didnt train me to like other kinds of fish.
so as of now, anything i taste other than stock fish is nasty!!!

and no the draw soup didnt have ocra in it, although i had some of that last week. LOL!
it had something called ogbono (i have NO idea if i spelled it right since i dont speak or right igbo. im just writing it based on the way it sounds) lol

i meant lingua franca. lol

Nope in the micwav, it's faster. All i do is add some butter and sugar. And I'm the one in the middle.

the microwave kind that i had didnt taste good i guess, or i didnt add the right things to bring out the taste and add flavor.
i love oatmeal! lol
and ive never tried butter. i almost never add or use butter in my cooking or food.
i never add butter, it scares me so much!
in fact, in my house, we have no butter. its almost never used.

my mom is a nurse and sees no need for butter. lol

and you are pretty.

where was the pic taken?

i dont want to sound ignorant but i say in calabar during the christmas festivals?

microwaving, when I have to help my wife

My favourite way to cook dinner? Let the Mrs do it!

lazy ass. get off the couch and cook sometimes.
i cant cook that great either because im still young.
but i think the man should cook sometimes too.

what if your wife dies and leaves you with small children and you dont know how to cook? will you be eating out everyday?
hmmm.

Boiling of course

I am genuinely surprised to see that the majority use microwave, especially with african background. I thought Americans were the ones into microwave (lol)

I also realized you guys love outdoor grilling, nice!. Not only it's healthy but it shows family togetherness.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#000099]Something vital is missing - toasting as in Toast bread

I use the toaster now and again for baking a small cake but I've never use it for cooking dinner.

I love to have Roast Dinner once or twice a week. Roast Beef or Roast Chicken or ROast Pork but Im not that good at cooking pork. . .
