ujchief: I'm having a hard time choosing between the first day i tried preparing fried rice and my first biter leaf soup at school...
Well, i think the later was more embarasing. The first time i tried biter leaf soup at school. From where i came from, the biter leaf u buy at market is well washed, so u just squeeze it a litle and u're good to go. But i never knew Awka people dont wash their biter leaf at all! I bought the 'soaked' biter leaf, after cooking my soup wit the leaf, it was sooo biter and uneatable! Worse stil, some new chick i was trying to impres was patiently waiting to try out my soup. Somehow i convinced her we should eat out. I think i told her i ran out of gas in my cooker.

ng4am: I remembered visiting a friend in her hostel and met her making egusi balls with palm oil and pepper, I asked what they re for she said she will fry it and cook it like egusi soup, I thought I ve learnt a new cooking skills, as I went to see my boyfriend the next weekend I decided to make the delicious egusi balls soup, o boy I made the balls and fried them till they almost burnt, when I tried adding the balls to the soup, the egusi balls did not dissolve, it was just like a watery soup with akara balls inside, I discarded the soup sharperly and called him to buy food on his way that I couldn't cook.

You musn't put salt when cooking corn because it makes it not to cook. You can put it later after it must have done.

slimyem: i was 12..
It was the first time i killed and dissected a chicken then washed,boiled it and made stew all on my own..
Turned out i didn't empty the contents of the gizzard....
I had put it whole into the stew like that.
My mum found it out and corrected my error..

Sky Rider: I was like 10. My younger sister offered to prepare lunch for Me, my younger brother and herself. cause my mum was nowhere to be found.(she was actually at our former place to sort things out) we just moved into a new house.

After 30 mins we went into the kitchen to see what this Little Madam was preparing..,

Lo n behold, she was boiling only "three numbers of beans" in a large pot filled with water!!!

whiteroses: Mine is one time I cooked for hubby's friends i believed I know how dead people feel that night because I felt dead he bought chicken and have always bought from asda this meant its soft chicken but on this faithful day he bought our Tiwan tiwa organic hard chicken and i don't know so I seasoned it like a good girlfriend that tried to impress his friends that I was'. 40 minutes later it dint turn golden like a soft chicken should I thot wtf is going on and gave it another 10 still pale, another 10 etc when I said enough is enough the chicken they hard like rock. Meanwhile the hubby has been saying guys wait for wifey cooking, friends too dey hungry like pickney so I just had to serve it and spread juicy soup on top. I kept quiet and said I don't want to eat. They filled dining table. I lied down on sofa singing unto Jesus I surrender all as they chopped no one made a sound till rice was half way then I said the chicken is a bit ha.... (before I said hard inst it?) one guy quickly said YES then I nervously said oh dint moist hard chicken and I ovened it, one guy then said don't worry and they asked for juice. I was so ashamed me and the bf haven't even mentioned it till today lol
