Happy Sunday to you all dearest Community, I certainly hope you do have a wonderful day today, it's the first Sunday of the month of August and trust me when I say I know there's gonna be a lot of jubilation and enough dancing because gradually the year is coming to an end. Well that's that, Now let's go right in to the topic of discussion.
Do you know I never actually learnt how to cook? Like for real, i didn’t go through any of those “come and learn how to slice onions” or “watch how I make this soup” phase that most people talk about, See
cooking just wasn’t my thing, In fact, I remember very well that anytime my mom was in the kitchen, my dad would chase us out. I think he had this strong fear about kids being around fire or sharp objects,he huar didn't like the idea of children in the kitchen, especially me ,see I won’t even lie, I was the lazy type, even washing plate felt like I was being punished,so cooking was far from me.
But you know how life is, it has a way of pushing you into things you thought you would never do, I started staying with my aunt at some point and Omo! that was when everything changed,i was practically thrown into the kitchen by force, see nobody sent me to culinary school oh , it was pure survival mode, my aunt would be like, “You are the one at home, so you will cook before I come back.” At first, I was confused, like how am I supposed to start cooking without prior training Ehn.....But she will just give me sharp instructions on what to do, and somehow, I just managed.
Let me not lie o, the first time I boiled rice on my own, I didn’t even know when I poured the whole salt container inside, the thing almost turned to salt water instead of boiled rice,but with time, I started getting it right, i started going to the market myself, cooking in bulk, and packing food inside freezer like a proper kitchen madam, it became so normal that even my aunt was surprised.
Till today, I cook conveniently, I can just enter the kitchen and cook three different meals without even blinking, it is like the skill activated from nowhere, I did not learn it the usual way, but I mastered it my own way , through pressure and experience.
That is why I always say, some things you will not learn in a calm environment, Life will just put you inside situation where you go learn by fire by force,and sometimes, that is how your hidden talent will show, Me that used to avoid the kitchen like plague, now I can cook for a full house and everybody will be satisfied.
So yeah, I never learnt how to cook the regular way, but somehow, I can do it conveniently now without even thinking twice ,you see funny how life works, right?
