  Hi,
  I just dont remember my first day in kitchen and how was it and what mistakes i did? I starting making rice when i was in school. So i just dont remember anything of that stuff.
  I was searching for chilli chicken receipe in yahoo and i got the link for forumhub. Once i visited this site, I felt this site is very useful as i could see the conversations and interactions and discussions. I really felt happy for discovering this site. Thats how it started. After that day, atleast twice a day i log onto this site.
  bye
  shwetha

  Years ago when I first came over to the US... a fresh out of university, newly married, never entered the kitchen, greenhorn type...I found
  that though my husband had a slew of good friends,
  among them was one particular free-loading bachelor, who, when not at his lab, ate our food and lived off our couch 24/7. For some reason he used to savor my dhal dishes. Once I tried to innovate by naively adding garlic powder to dhal when eeow! almost 1/2 the bottle fell in. I did'nt want to throw it away, so I served it to Mr Freeloader with his saadam. Now you know the rest of the story. It may seem cruel, but after that day, he packed off and disappeared without a trace. Luckily a few yrs ago someone spotted him at JIPMER...alive, kicking and still stinking of garlic I suppose...

  I have started to cook after marriage, after I left home with my husband to his workplace. I had a beleif that I can do it so I didn't learn to cook from my mom & my parents never forced me to learn cooking before marriage, they were of the opinion that it is an innate talent hiding inside every girl, just they need to develop it when time comes. But I started off worse, the rice I cooked first time was exactly like 'payasam' and the curries went too spicy as I didn't know the quantity of masala powders to add. But my husband was right there to help, support, encourage and to criticize truly which helped me a lot. Now I am improving, thank God.
  
  First visit to forumhub was very accidental. I was having a very hard time about 7 or 8 months ago when I learned to make chappathis . My chapathis were coming out very hard. Now I remember exactly how I came to the forum , I had searched in yahoo with the keyword "how to make soft chapathis?" There was a topic posted by Sarah with the same heading and my search directly brought me to the Forumhub. Thanks a million Sarah, otherwise I could never have come to this site. And from that time I visit forumhub daily or whenever possible. Now it is one among my favorite sites.

  Hi,
  I think I have posted my first day in kitchen when I was about 14 somewhere in forum last year.
  But I will never forget the Morkozumbu and poories I made.
  The ingredients I used for Morkozumbu were standerd Mor and other spices but when the kozumbu had overflowed and became thin, I used citric acid and more Kadaklai Maavu to thicken it.When it stuck at the bottom due to heat, it smelled like grease paint crossed with volcanic gases.The yellow colour of Kozumbu became orangish and the salt content was more than Dead sea.
  The poories were poories only in name.I mixed loose dough which I could not roll individually so made a big flat rolled pancake like thing and inverted a katora and made perfactly round poories which did not baloon.They were the best Appalam made of Godhumi maavu (saltless).
  Please don't ask me how it was liked.Because our dog Tommy never returned home for food for three days.
  LOL.
