From Computer Guy to Kitchen Spy
When someone says you're just a sluggish lad who does nothing at home except being called the computer guy, well, I do a lot of things except getting external interference from family in the family to bring milk, yogurt, and vegetables from the market. This week I took on a challenge. I will make things for myself apart from asking someone or begging them. What I ended up doing was ordering food lol, which became a bad decision. Well, there is a long tale of my rejection to homemade food, but when I heard something delicious cooked in my kitchen, I thought to take a spy view.
Day with curious failed recipe
I settled on a plan that I would enter the kitchen by chance by saying sorry, I was trying to find my glasses. This failed badly as my sister found me alive because of my poor acting. What I said was only boiled rice, so I thought it's only boiled rice. Behaving as an over-experienced person made me mind to fry shami and use the previously cooked moong dal. But to dress up this plan I had to wait for them to sleep after lunch. When I found an appropriate time I hit the aim to fry the kebab. Turning on the exhaust and closing the kitchen door helped me to do this. When I almost poured dal on boiled rice I found something fishy in the fridge. To my surprise it was sauce, my bad they made Manchurian. My half knowledge caused this fault, I had to dispose of the mixed fusion rice, I had to eat with kebab and literally it was a brutal combo. I tried to fill my stomach by closing my nostrils.
Day with online order and offline scam
The next day I ordered food, but this plan of mine got failed as my sis took half of the share to keep this secret. What I received was half paratha roll and half Zinger. I got this deal for 1k and it didn't satisfy my hunger at all, as I am not a penguin. Paratha roll was very spicy so to lessen the taste of spice I had to make tea which half got wasted due to over-boiling as I was busy on the phone. Starvation gave me think of people who are dying in different regions of the world as we keep on wasting food socially on major events. I read a research article which described that hunger can be ended if we stop wasting food. I am an evidence of wastage in marriages where people fill the plates to satisfy their eyes untasted from filling their stomachs. What we got is freshly cooked food trashed in the garbage in the name of leftovers.
Day with cold chocolate milk
The next event I embraced was making cold chocolate milk for whom I went through a lot of research about making. Actually I was craving for some sugar and this recipe went through my eyes. I added two tbsp cocoa powder in milk and brought it to a boil, then added sugar. Don't forget to keep a bit of milk aside to make a slurry of cornflour and milk. Now add the slurry and wait until it gets thick. Lastly I crushed the dark chocolate and bub God it was damn good. After this picture I observed the colour of cold chocolate milk became more dark but I enjoyed it without freezing it lol.
Day with pop corns
The last attempt before making a final apology not to head towards the kitchen was the popcorn, they need least effort. But to find them was tiring, mom was instructing me to check in the cabinet of black pepper and I was searching in the cabinet containing black stuff which later proved to be chia seeds. When I found them I quickly poured oil and salt in a pan and added popcorn. They took a few minutes to get popped. A tremendous amount was brought as a result so it was a good attempt until my family emptied the pan when I finished my half plate. So this is my take on why I don't participate in daily happenings at home.
I hope you enjoyed the comedy, on a serious note I am a good cook OR it's a part of the comedy too?
