I remember
the first time I made eba for myself, I was nine years old and somehow, the
water was not boiled before I used it, mehn………….. you know what came out J. The diary of the bride below is good enough a
reason to go through such experiments. Enjoy it…………
Monday: We are back from honeymoon and settled
in our new home. It's fun to cook for Chuka . Today I made moin moin and the
recipe said, 'Beat 12 eggs separately '. Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do
that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in. D moin moin turned out
fine though.
Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper.
The recipe said, 'Serve without dressing'. So I didn't dress. But Chuka
happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so
startled when I served them. I think it was the salad.
Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a
recipe, which said, 'Wash thoroughly before steaming d rice'. So I heated some
water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kind of silly in the
middle of the day. I can't say it improved d rice anyhow.
Thursday: Today Chuka asked for salad again. I
tried a new recipe. It said, prepare ingredients, and then toss on a bed of
lettuce one hour before serving.' I hunted all over the place for a garden with
a bed of lettuce and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce
and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. CHUKA came
over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work;
I'll try and be supportive.
Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for
cookies. It said, 'Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it'. Beat it I did,
to my mother's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe,
because when I came back home again; it looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday: Chuka went shoppin today and brought
home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how
hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found an old
doll dress and its little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute.
When Chuka saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed
because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what
was wrong he started crying and shouting out 'Why me? Why me?'
