TJ in the Kitchen :: Mmegi Online

I reached a new culinary milestone last week by setting off the neighbour’s smoke alarm. In my quest to be a good hubby and demonstrate to the world that I have truly shed off the ‘woman’s place is in the kitchen’ axiom, I took to the kitchen with verve and gusto.

Up to then, my culinary skills were quite rudimentary and involved boiling an egg, boiling rice and frying eggs. I know this is not much but still we have to be generous to those that try. My apprenticeship was really nothing to enthuse about.
