I have been with so many different room mates since i left my parents to till date....
I want to talk about how my room mates cook.....
Its been ages since I was planning to update this blog…
been a bit buzy.. been lot lazy…wat ever… here it goes…
It was July 29th 2002… rt after my fresh graduation …. Came to Huntsville, AL to do masters… WOW wat a life. Some fun, some struggle, some laughs, some studies…. Started to learn how life could be. Made me little mature, changed my life and bla bla bla
Well thats not the topic…
I flew with my room mates in the same flight. We were 7. We took one 3 bedroom appt. and the fun started….
1s one of my room mates promised he would cook. So we let him to keep the pressure cooker. It 20 min past and we dint here any whistle. When I asked him whether he kept water in the cooker… he asked me “What water?” … he did not keep water in the cooker nor with the rice…. We switched off the stove and waiting in the corner of the house with covers for the cooker to burst off… we were lucky we just ended up with the melted valve and blanked cooker base with burnt rice… This was just his start. I shd mention his specialized dish… Tair samiya….all he did is… boiled noodles with some chopped onions in 2 gallons of butter milk…. And he made us to eat that …. DAMIT…. Well I have to admit it… he improved his cooking skills after...
Another 3 guys said that they don’t know to cook. All three of them ended in learning how to cook sambar…. Interestingly it was only sambar. And it took more than 1.5 yrs for them to learn that. Two of them were good. Their sambar looks and tastes like sambar. But the other … man I got to tell you guys this… end of 2.5 yrs… still he just knows to cook sambar which looks like a big bowl of dal paste. (Well he cooks rice in the rice cooker).
The fried rice specialist: The first time he made it … we were like man he has some skills though it tasted little different than the other fried rice. Then he made the same thing the second time… we were like.. hmmm.. then the third time in a row… we were like “come on” …. 4th time AGG… 5th… AGGGGGGGGGGGG 6th… THAT’S IT.. U R DONE BOY… THIS HAS TO END… U HAVE TO STOP THIS…. Unfortunately that dint do the trick…. 2.5 yrs …. We have just ate his watery, awfully tasted, over cooked fried rice in his cooking turn. We did take a look how he does that well this wat he does… he take some rice puts in the rice cooker.. along with some frozen mixed vegetables, then some spices like garam masala.. then some salt… 2 cups of water for every cup of rice then an extra cup for the vegi…(that extra cup causes the water effect and over cooking)…. Well I have to mention the rita’s….. man…u will see onions and tomatoes in the rita bigger than the size of a grape tomatoes…. Some times u will see some unbaked green peppers too in the same size…
I have heard some people are worst in cooking… its not because they would get it… its because they don’t want to get it…. And have seen some from that herd….
