My First Experience in the Kitchen

  It was all very perfect. Mother used to make food for us and dessert. The whole family liked food made from her hand. As soon as she called us for lunch or dinner, we would run to the dining table.
  Suddenly, everything turned around. I grew up and landed in Singapore. I didn't know how to do anything.
  I went in the kitchen and saw what eatables were kept there. In fact, I was surrounded with utensils. I went to a nearby hypermarket and bought the stuff my mother used to buy and kept it in the places my mother used to keep. I started to think what can I make. I thought that Maggi was the best thing for a tired out person like me.
  I followed the instructions on the packet. I put water to boil and started watching TV. When I came back, a lot of water had boiled away. I put the Maggi into the water and started stirring it for the Maggi to get soft.
  I became impatient and put the flavouring before the Maggi could become soft. Coming in contact with water, the flavouring started to form lumps. I managed to break away a lot of lumps, though after that also there were many.
  When I put it in the bowl, it looked so gooey and sticky that I didn't feel like eating it. But when I ate it, it wasn't so bad. In fact, it was much better than the normal Maggi. Now I came to know the meaning of the proverb "Beauty is only skin deep."
  This was my first experience in the kitchen. Now I know how to cook like that which can be consumed!!!
