It was Monday morning and I woke up feeling like I could do literally anything. I had no idea why I was feeling that way but I loved it. I quickly went through my phone to see if I had any pending messages to reply and then after that, I got up to do my morning chores.
The time was now some couple of minutes past ten and I was starting to feel hungry. Usually, I would go get something quick and easy to prepare, something like noodles but you see, I said I was feeling like I could do literally anything so I decided to do that one thing I know I’m not really great at, I decided to cook.
I went to a female friend of mine who lives next door to me and asked her to help me compile a list of things I needed to cook my meal. She asked if she was going to help me cook it and I looked at her, smiled and said “I gat this”
So I went to the market and just gave the list to the lady selling. The girl who helped compile the list already told me the prices of everything on the list so there wasn’t anyway I was going to get scammed into paying more than the usual amount.
Few minutes later and I was on my way home, few minutes after that and my pot was on fire getting heated up. Usually when I want to cook after a long time of not cooking, I make use of YouTube to refresh my memory on the meal I’m about to prepare but remember, I was feeling confident, so I didn’t give a damn about YouTube or what it had to offer.
Ten minutes into the preparation of my meal and the whole thing was beginning to go sideways. For starters, the meal had a completely different color from what it was suppose to be and when I tasted it, it tasted like sadness, like a grown up man who doesn’t know how to cook kind of sadness. I wouldn’t give my enemy’s dog something like that to eat not to talk of a human being.
At the end of the day, I ended up going back to the noodles routine. Although I know I will be back to that kitchen and when I return, I will be ready for it.
