nemo Posted April 1, 2006 If these girls can't be bothered to cook for their family and help their mothers out why are they so concerned with Farax. Blessed, In no way did I say that I dont help my beloved mummy..I said that I cant cook there are differences sis..I do other things like clean and look after the kids (now they dont need looking after though) and I am not that concerned with the Farax's I only wanted to know if its ok for somalia girls not know how to cook and if there are other people like me.. And I agree with you're earlier statment Walaal, you should know how to cook (and keep your home clean) for your survival Cheers sis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baluug Posted April 1, 2006 There's no problem if you don't know how to cook everything, and it's OK if you're not the best cook, but you gotta at least know how to make the basic stuff, like Kraft Dinner, spaghetti and suugo, steak, bariis,...........Oh man, I'm making myself hungry, Be right back!!

Blessed Posted April 1, 2006 ^Awwwww, sis, ignore me today, I'm sleep deprived and can't go to sleep either. Anyways, just realised that your a newababy here, so welcome to SOL. We need a chilled out addition to this place (((huggs)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted April 1, 2006 ^^^lool bless. i know that feeling. Use herbs/scents as relaxation methods before bedtime but even they stop working after a while. as for cooking. Answer; It is not okay for anyone not to know how to cook, male or female. it is a necessity, a must. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xoogsade Posted April 1, 2006 Blessed, My ex-boss was actually a female and was extra nice, gave me good reviews every quarter and best raise among peers. Anything less would be uncivilized on your part should I become your assistant Looks like I am done for now in this thread as only females are around. Feels a little odd to be seen amid only-women gathering. Take Care Blessed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted April 1, 2006 ^Hehe, waan kaa badaney miyaa, don't worry soon the 'dhaqan' geeljires will come and put the girl in her righful place. I'm a very good boss, I did one of those birthday /job correlation things and I was born on the right day for perfect leaders. I'll get back to you though, I've other applicants to consider. Ibi Thanks for the tip hon, will try it, insha Allah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xoogsade Posted April 1, 2006 Blessed, You could be mistaken by not placing me in your geeljire-guys book lol. I might just be putting a facade of a modern guy while I wield my geeljire sword hidden behind my back. You never know Blessed. I see myself as a Typical Somali(Geeljire). Take care Now.

Khalaf Posted April 1, 2006 Walaal, you should know how to cook (and keep your home clean) for your survival . Simple! Mummy will not be around or willing to take care off you forever. Take away food is bad for you and your bank. MashaAllah, MashaAllah, MashaAllah now that’s a smart woman! Again MashaAllah. nameless_chick, walaalshiis of course we would marry a sister that can’t cook, u marry someone cuz u love them regardless if she cooks or not. But as the blessed sister (again mashaAllah), said it’s for your own good. U don’t want to live off frozen foods and McDonalds for you and your family everyday do u? Your kids will become obese, and your husband will develop heart problems. Walaalshiis cooking is not hard, If I can learn it (thanks to one yr away from home), then anyone can do it-trust me.

- Femme - Posted April 1, 2006 Walaalshiis cooking is not hard, If I can learn it (thanks to one yr away from home), then anyone can do it-trust me. Well, what makes one a cook? I don't think knowing how to make canjeelo, bariis, paasto and such makes you a cook. That's not what I'm talking about when I say 'I don't know' for those are very simple and most of us knew how to make it from seeing our mothers do it at a very young age. But, do you know how to make rice three or more different ways? Can you follow and make the exact same dish in a cookbook? How many dishes somali and international dishes can you make. Etc. Etc. Take away food is bad for you and your bank. Tell that to my stomach. :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sister, why do u need to make rice three different ways? Cooking rice one way is cool, we are not professional chefs here. And yes I know how to cook pasta, rice, chicken, suqaar. Anjeera, jabti-no buts its not hard either-anything is easy to learn if u try. And I can follow a cookbook, not hard if u can read. I live with pakistani and arab brothers we all cook-since none of us have our moms or any wives . Then of course we wouldn't cook Peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOIC Posted April 1, 2006 Wow, here I thought a woman place in this world was scrubbing the floor and cook the food . As a tradition dictates, the Somali woman must know how to cook and clean before she moves to her own home. Okay, who am I kidding? The ever watchful eye of SOL women? I know this sounds disturbing ,but It gives me the greatest delight to see women cooking a good food for their hubbies. I do not doubt that men should help too .

Khalaf Posted April 1, 2006 Ib sister I said I learned to cook to survive, and not burn my small bank account not cuz I like to cook. I do think I shouldn't cook, especially if I've been working all day and come home and then have to cook-thats torture. If she can't cook then Ill teach what I know and she can learn, and then she can take from there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
