Hello everyone, top of the day to you all. I hope you all had a good night rest?.
Just woke up and wanted to share a few things with y'all cause I know I am going to have a happy ending joining this big family.
My experience this morning with cooking.
Lol, I've never been a fan of cooking but hopefully someday I will make a good chef. I am beginning to see the need for it, despite being a male with the orientation that cooking is meant for only the females. Since I've gotten to school and leaving alone with my friend, the struggle to eat self made food has always been an adventure for both of us.
Funny as the procedures might be, we end up cooking something that isn't close to the desired meal.
Because of this, our money goes in for it...we tend to eat regularly outside; I mean eateries, restaurant, cafeterias and the rest depending on which we seem best at the moment.
So so, since last night I have been craving to eat jellof rice but I didn't want to go out so late to go eat outside or waking up so early to eat outside. I decided to do the cooking...lol
I woke up to my alarm by 4:30am.
Did my little push-ups, yes little push-ups..lol
I'm trying to get this core and chest done before the year runs out. Brushed my teeth, prayed for about 10 minutes, rested a bit then headed to the kitchen.
Laughing already to my past experience last month when I wanted making jellof rice that it turned out to be a white rice with no colour at all....i picked up my pot, lit up the gas and did the necessary preparation for my cooking to commence. Washed the rice, started boiling it.
When the time to introduce my ingredients came, I didn't miss it. I added them all and then went out waiting for it to get ready and cooked...this is where the drama began. Lol
I went out of the kitchen and started using my phone because I was too bored to just sit there and watch my friend sleep and snore. Logged into Facebook to watch some funny reels.
YouTube next, then later on to WhatsApp to reply texts. For like an hour more I was so into my phone that I forgot I had something cooking. My guy in the room started sneezing and coughing "while I was still fixed on my phone"...surprising asf. I didn't react to the smell or let alone perceive anything.
After a lot of coughing and irritated sneezing, he woke up and rushed to the bathroom to wash his face in disgust.
I was on ear piece too so I could barely hear him talk, that's if he talked while going to the bathroom. Lo and behold, my ear piece rushed out of my ears like I 2 months old child being pulled by the mum. All I could hear in a loud tone was "ARE YOU COOKING SOMETHING? WHY IS HERE SMELLING?". Then it dawned on me that I was cooking my desired jellof rice..lol
I started laughing and rushing to the kitchen because I know cooking has never been my thing. I never concentrate when it comes to matter in the kitchen I don't know why..lol
But the option of throwing the food away wasn't there. I can't waste my time even if the the time was really wasted, and cook something then turn out to throw the whole thing away.
Had to find a way of doing it, added more pepper to it and mixed well at least even if it burnt the taste of pepper should come out. Lol
I love my food pepperish that's why.
This is how my morning meal went down in the pot despite all...lol
