I want to Learn how to cook....

[Africanqueen]

Sallamu Alaykum everybody.

 

Before I start, Yes I am new.. blah blah... nice to meet Ya'll blah blah. Lets pretend for a few seconds Ya'll actually care that I'm new.

 

Anyhuuuu I'm turning 21 very soon. Yup, I'm still in a state of shock, I always thought I'd be happily married, baby on the way by now. But I don't see that happening anytime soon, perhaps in 5 years time. God knows.

 

However, my problem at the moment is I don't know how to cook??? So everytime I begin to have a normal conversation with a guy, and I get the feeling he likes me. I try my best to hide this, but I'm a strong believer in honesty. Therefore, I try to joke around sayind ''I can cook cornflakes'', they never seem to get that joke, and instead are horrified. I mean one guy went as far as to telling me, he sees a girl who can't cook has handicapped.

 

After many guys discover I cannot cook, the way they talk to me evidently changes. They no longer want to continue the ''marriage conversation'', I mean everytime I bring up the topic, they stutter and say ''well... erm... I haven't reached that stage'' Nigga two nights ago you were telling me how you'd love a wife and baby. Now you telling me you're not ready, do I look retarded??

 

Anyways it's the blessed month of Ramadhan, and there's no better month to learn how to cook right? I've been watching my mother make sambuus, malawax (which some of you may call laxoox) Bur, bariis iyo baasto. And I've been observing, I must say it does not seem that hard.

 

But I'd like to learn how to cook other food, not just Somali food. I'm a big fan of indian food, I love curry. I want to be the best cook ever, not just for my husband (inshallah) But growing up all I saw was bariis, bariis, bariis, baasto, then back to bariis bariis. I want to suprise my family, make them excited to come to the dinner table to eat my food. I want their mouth to saliva, when they hear me say ''dinner is ready'', so I made this topic in the hope some of Ya'll would give me ideas for the best food I can make.

 

So far I'm very eager to learn different types of Indian food. I also like italian food e.g Lasagne (somalis already make that) I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, I'm pretty sure cooking Dogs, is not allowed in Islam.

 

P.s Sorry for writing so much, I'm just extremely passionate about this topic. Please don't hold back, and if you can provide pictures, that would even be better.

 

Hope the fasting is going good for all of you. Keep the peace.

Option 1: If u have money you don't have to cook at all. Make sure you order all your food from local restaurant near to you house, pizza huts and so on.

 

OPtion 2: Make sure you marry a man who works in one of those hotels as a chef.

 

Option 3: Do not marry and stay with your parents so that you will be fed like a baby.

 

Option 4: Do not cook anything. Eat everything uncooked. Even the meat can be eaten without being cooked.

 

 

Thank you very much .........

Welcome horta

 

Secondly... men dont look for a wife so that she can cook for him only. I used to make a point of not being able to cook when i am talking to blokes. IF they stick around, great, if not, i say his 'his loss'. But to their credit, most men arent bothered.. Their fave saying was " we will learn together..maacallees h"

 

Anyway great site to help:

Thanks for the welcome abaayo.

 

Erm I was taught there's two ways to please a man. The Kitchen and the bedroom. And Yes, you're right, a Man shouldn't just love you due to what you can cook. But it sure would make it a hella lot easier.

Sista

 

And what are the 2 ways a man can please woman?

Walaal, raali ahow hadaa sid kala uu gaaratay markaa ku iri.. aff Jinni baa ku hadlaysaa. Laakin ruunti maku fahmi. Inyar baan kaa gartaa. Buufiskaa ka hadlaaysid maxaa waaye? Gabar hadaay kuu sheegta maku garanin, miyaad buufis ku urday?

 

Aniga aff somali fiican ma qori, iyo maku hadli. Laakin aff somali sax baan garanaa. Adiga markaa yarayd, aff la garaynin baa ku hadashay.. qofna mana ku saxin, somaha. Laakin maanta anaa ku saxaya walaal. Afkaa ku hadlaysid MABA JIRO.

Hilarious, absolute comic.

I know have spoken to alot of men and asked them and I have concluded they are a bunch of Duunis They want you to be like their mum.Runti cooking is big criteria for most. It just depends on which Faraax you get,the one that is content with any food and the 'fussy eaters'.

 

AfricaQ,Cooking recipes are available and just spend time with Somali mums especially at Alabaris & wedding catering.

 

LOL@JB...That's what I tell myself.Let's hope it works in practise
