Anigreat:






But you still dont know how to cook till this day darling apart from cooking junks.

mariahAngel:
That's not true sweetheart.

You don't know me.

Anigreat:





Dont mind me, i am just being silly. I know you're good in kitchen, i wish to be like you someday.

mariahAngel:
Just being yourself is enough.

Kondomatic:
I was very very young when I started cooking so I can't remember my first time.

mariahAngel:
It's always memorable, so try to remember...

mariahAngel:
I'll go first. Of course.

The first soup I ever made was ogbono soup.
I was about 10, and mum just thrust it upon from nowhere like "you're cooking ogbono soup tomorrow!" without asking if I can (I always watch her cook)
My heart sank when she said that, and in my mind, I was like "oh my God! Oh my God!"
That night, I swear, I hardly slept a wink.

Then came the day of reckoning, all ingredients lined out, I did everything exactly as mum would, step by step.
After adding the ground ogbono mix, I added water to a moderate level and stirred but there was no slime. NO SLIME! In my mind "God help me! God help me!" I screamed
I stirred the watery soup, covered and left it to boil. "Mum would be so disappointed" I thought, feeling disappointed.
Going back to check on the soup some few minutes later, I opened the pot and stirred again and EUREKA! THERE WAS THAT SLIME!

It was a memorable experience and a big win for me that day. Of course, mum praised me to the high heavens! Hmmm!

Kondomatic:
It's impossible.


I was always with mom in the kitchen so I am sure it started with "Help me put this in the pot, help me turn the soup etc" until I started cooking so I can't say that this is when it happened.

One bad ass Egusi soup I cooked in 300 level.

My sister and I were room mates. But women normally have their once in a month, skoi skoi.

She swore to not give me food.

I vex

Use N300 charter Egusi and Ugu with palm oil. I boiled the Egusi. Add crayfish and seasoning.

Added the red oil and small Ugu. The soup had started to make sense now and the aroma was filtering into the air.

Madam was now understanding that me no depend on her for food.

I downloaded N200 akpu with my first/best soup ever. As I sat down to eat, NEPA bring light!

Chai. I enter simple server start to download series.

Okazi soup was the FIRST SOUP I made. I was about 14 then and having watched my mum cook it all my life, I was convinced I would ace it- for a rookie at least.

My problem started when I was trying to make the akpuruakpu, the egusi refused to bring out oil, which was the ultimate test of its finesse. I added more osu, for where?! Finally I picked up the mortar and headed for my neighbours house. Not the same compound. I mean, I picked the mortar and headed for the gate. The plan was to go meet Uju, she was our church member at the time and they lived 2 houses away.

As I put one leg outside, na my mama I see...

Hayee:
Mine was also ogbono soup (it was during my food & nutrition practical in school,so no mummy's assistance), i had to ask my mates and seniors for the recepie and how to prepare and trust the end product was really awesome exactly what i wanted. I was about 15 or 16 then.

It's very likely that soup didnt come out well..

I have seen many of your post on the trending food thread, na only plantain and eggs u sabi..

I guess Mum, being nice, didn't wanna make you feel bad at your first shot ever..hence the encouraging words...

Lalasticlala, this thread is front page worthy cos it stirs up Nostalgia..

Make I no talk my own..

karli4nia:
May I ask, who tasted the end product as you call am?

karli4nia:
Continue beating about the bush, okay..
It's really impossible to, at least not as when you had you first kiss.. or first Shag.
