It's a legitimate thread. Way better than those top 10 crap we keep seeing on fp. Just because you can't cook doesn't mean you should take it out on every one else.

Lol. Sleekyshuga, you got me laughing with your first time experience in the kitchen.
But age 6?
Mba Mba! My dad is a top chef who never allowed us go close to fire . My aunties then used to tease us (my sisters and I) cos I didn't even know how to light a stove after primary school , it was bad.

But by secondary school, I had started feeling bad when my friends talked about things they could cook, I couldn't even boast of lighting a stove not to talk of boiling water. So, one fateful afternoon, I took the bull by the horn and cooked a disastrous meal that I threw away before anyone returned. Lol

My friends told me preparing jollof rice is the easiest thing to cook. I believed them and they gave me the recipe. But the bad thing was, since we weren't allowed to cook, I couldn't touch my mum's tinned tomatoes and other ingredients and I didn't want anyone to know that I attempted burning down the house so I saved my lunch money for days, just to carry out that mission. In place of tomatoes, I used that Onga tomatoes seasoning... Boy! The rice was PINK!!!! like I added color to it and I was feeling myself . My head was swelling as I stirred the pot every 5-10 mins for no reason, I just liked what I was doing.

Few minutes later, water and onions was floating over the rice, the pot was burning, the rice was still as hard as stone and I was confused. Out of disappointment and fear that I may be caught, I brought down the pot, tasted it- Zero! Lol... Quickly scrapped everything out and washed off the pot before taking my position innocently as a good girl with my assignments spread on the table

Somehow, till this day, I hate to cook Jollof rice cos the memory of that 'Onga' rice is still fresh in my head.

This is damn hilarious grin

@sleekyshuga, sorry I'm replying your mention late, the light situaton in my area is worse than epileptic embarassed

I can't even remember the first meal I cooked cos I grew up in a household much like amicable09's. Popc loved to cook so he did most of the cooking although in my case, sometimes,he'll give directives from the room or wherever he happened to be and you'll be cooking like that in the kitchen. Occasionally, he'd come to check on the progress of the food but to all intents and purposes he was actually the one that cooked. That's how I learnt to cook anyways
