The First Time You Cooked? by ujuslims(f): 8:44am On Jul 22, 2007 |
The 1st Time You Cooked - What Was It Like? Guess I'm not alone. First time I cooked- it was boiled Yam everything was going smoothly until I forgot that my hand hadn't been thoroughly washed after peeling the yam. I touched my face with the hand! and it was a terrible day! I itched like what i don't know, anyway momsy had to apply palm oil on the spots that were swollen on my face- chei! it was an experience. When i cooked soup, it was Ogbono soup- it was very tasty o. but i can still remember those lumps! I guess everyone in my house ignored the lumps and praised me, ![]() |

Hmm First time i cooked, it was boiled rice actually and i added too much water to it, which made the rice look more like "akamu". I was so angry that day. I had to eat it like that since there was no other food at home. |

this is for real! my brother's first time of frying an egg: the 1st one was too salty. the 2nd one had too much pepper, and by the 3rd round we had given up hope on him, he came up with bland egg without salt or pepper. He then ventured to cook soup, oh my God! it was okro soup, the okro and other ingredients went down to the base of the pot, while the water was in the middle then the fish were floating just like a sea, haven't seen any 1st time cookin worse than that. |

Re: The First Time You Cooked? by narcissus(m): 11:10am On Aug 14, 2007 |
I can't remember much from my first time cooking but three things come to mind clearly: (1) putting the oil on fire, (2) Watching Voltron, (3) My neighbours sceaming fire fire fire. It was crazy, the entire new ceiling of my kitchen was changed from white to thick black. I still try to wash it everytime i go back home as penance for my sins. ![]() |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by Nobody: 12:07pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
trendy: Can't remember either, But i won't forget in a jiffy the first time i pounded yam for some visitors. Gosh, it was so Stretchy, i felt the yam was bad. though, there were no lumps. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was later I knew that good yams get stretchy when pounded. Little me. ![]() Each time i remember this act i laff at myself. |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by Seun(m): 12:55pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
I think it was beans and I think it was barely edible. Apart from beans, the only meal I cook well is Indomie! |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by WebMonk(m): 1:12pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
Seun: Count me as well. The first went quite smoothly i was impressed (under the tutelage of a friend). My first experience with indomie was da bomb, until i sneezed when i was carrying the fry pan, the contents spilt on the floor. ![]() i was too angry to shout i went to bed. I mean, ALL THAT EFFORT TO EAT? (women you people dey try O!)

Re: The First Time You Cooked? by television(f): 1:23pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
the first time I cooked it was Yam. while slicing I managed to rub myself with the Yam and i scratched like hell. the yam was so strong (i.e half boiled) that my mum had to recook it when she came back cos it was not just edible. ![]() ![]() |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by santony2k(m): 1:44pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
First time I remember cooking was making "Obe ata" for Rice. I cooked rice and then found out there was no more stew. My sis convinced me to make "Ata din din" since we were all hungry. Men, did I fry the crap outta the stew or what? Kept it on the frying pan forever, oil splattering everywhere, too much salt, but the stew was tasty as hell. Told my sis to use and unsalty mouth to eat it so that way there would be a balance in the meal. And the meat, ? Another story! |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by Nobody: 2:00pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
I was seven and trying to be a good girl. Decided to suprise my parents by cooking jollof rice. Added all the correct ingriedents it was almost ready had a nice taste and aroma and i decided to crown my beautiful meal by adding potash. Whe everyone came back the food was served looked so good till someone actually tasted it and all hell broke loose everybody was running out to throw the food away. I felt so bad but my sister consoled me and thought me the proper way to cook |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by Allta(m): 2:05pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
It was Pathetic, I fried Egg for about 25mins thinking it'll take time to Cook , you get me? It took our Neighbors to come in despite all the smoke and I will never forget that day. I must be around 13 years or so Peace Out! |

i was 10, my parents stayed out unexpectedly late and we were getting hungry so i decided to surprise them by making eba. Obviously i thought all i need to make it was moderately hot water. I didnt notice the eba didnt look right until it started crumbling inside the soup, it tasted like soaked garri. My parents ate it proudly! ![]() |

Re: The First Time You Cooked? by tnaidaR(f): 3:01pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
Lmao @ y'all Actually my first meal ever was boiled yam and egg stew. That was excellent. Now hear this; My first main meal was jollof rice. Chai! You can't imagine ![]() After I perboiled the rice, I put the tomatoes inside the pot with oil and onions. Added water and then poured the rice inside. Fair enough, huh?. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Man don learn sha ![]() ![]() |
Re: The First Time You Cooked? by Allta(m): 3:25pm On Aug 14, 2007 |
@ soulpatrol Well, just remembering the good old days, it's been a long time now @Omoge Well, like I said, can't forget that day, it was embarrasing, but that was the last time it happened. I then went on to be better at cooking. I won the Best Beans Cook in my University Days, I became the Best Cook in my Family till Date. I remember in the Uni, females queue for my delicious meals, Glad I had to learn the hard way, you know, Isn't that Amazing? |
