There are some things I don't joke about in my life, and one of them is food. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a glutton, but I'm the type that loves good food.
When I tell people that I love to cook and that I know how to cook, they hardly even believe it because normally everyone says cooking is not for men.
Well, maybe not. I'm this kind of person who follows some influencer online who cooks food. Any place on social media where I see they are cooking food or talking about a particular food that I've not tried before, I will love to try it out.
Honestly, you will not believe how much I love good food. I'm so obsessed with it. As much as I like good food, I just do not eat anywhere I see food. And that is why I like to cook my food most of the time.
And I don't allow people to cook for me. Well, if it's my sister, then she will definitely cook for me. I always learn from her; she's too good to be true when we are talking about food. I call her a foodie. I know it's funny, but it's like we inherited these food things from our parents because, honestly, my father is also a good cook.
I remember back then, when Mom was not around for months, my dad would be the one to enter the kitchen, and of course my sisters were not around either, so it's me and my father. I was too young then to be alone in the kitchen; my dad did everything.
But then my sister has special skills in cooking, so if I do not allow people to cook for me, then she must. She likes food to the extent that no one fights with her when it's the head of anything. I mean, no matter what we kill—either chicken or anything at all—my sister will be the one to eat the head of it. It's funny, but that's the truth.
I don't like eating outside because, honestly, most of these people who cook food are not neat, and they do not care about anything because they are not even eating their own food. We have seen many cases. Especially in our local areas, there are so many things we hate about the food they prepare.
I hate it when the food I want to eat is not neat. But all that has been said. It's definitely not all the time I will eat the food I cook.
Firstly, if I'm so hungry and I need to eat while I can't cook, I will rather buy bread or take garri to cool down.
But at the same time, it is not all food I know how to cook, and sometimes I will even have food at home and be lazy to cook.
Sometimes I might just be craving some particular food, and if I decide to cook it, it will definitely take me too much time. For instance, fried rice and fried chicken. And so on. So it will depend on my mood and what I'm craving. But most of the time, I love cooking my own food.
