A Unique Skill I Acquired.

There is a saying that no man was born empty and I agree with it, the only issue is that many of us don't realise that unique thing about us until life puts us in a situation that forces us to discover it or automatically bring that thing out in us.

Cooking became something I fell in love with as a teenager and nothing has changed even after over a decade. I didn't know how to cook from birth which is impossible and had to learn it when something unexpected happened to my family over a decade ago. Being the eldest child in the family, I was disappointed in myself that I couldn't be of help to my siblings. We went through hell before my mother recovered from her illness and that prompted the 11-year-old George to learn how to prepare food just for the family but it turned out to serve a bigger purpose than that.

Cooking is one thing I fell in love with after I learned the basics, it was just impossible for me not to love trying new stuff in my favourite place in the house. Being a guy who loves cooking, I have gotten positive and negative compliments.

"Wow, a guy that cooks this well is a husband material and so on."
"How can a guy say he loves cooking, it's female duty."

I hear these two things often but it doesn't bother me because I just enjoy cooking for different reasons. It is not just about making healthy meals for the family even though that was my primary purpose, I have been able to make money from cooking.

For about a year, I made snacks by the roadside just to support myself in school. I made soup for people and earned little cash from that, I continued making snacks after school until I could get a job back then. Despite working as a fish farmer, I still make money from cooking my sharing my recipes on Hive.

Cooking has become part of me and I do it happily.

In the video, I made spicy puff puff because it rained all through yesterday and the weather was quite cold.

To make the spicy puff puff, I used Flour, sugar, salt, pepper, onions, yeast, groundnut oil and water.

Procedure: Preparing puff puff is quite easy and I find it more satisfying when I prepare it by myself.

• The first step is to mix the recipes except groundnut oil that will be used for frying and ensure you use the right quantity of everything to avoid preparing something you can eat at the end of the day.

• After mixing, I covered the mixture and put it somewhere warm because it has to swell and only heat will make that happen.

• After some time, the mixture had swollen and I went on to frying.

• I heated the pan before turning the groundnut oil into it and after it was hot, I started cutting the mixture into it bit by bit.

• While frying under low heat, I turned the puff puff and made sure every part of it was properly fried.

• After frying, I removed the puff puff and put them in a basket to drain the oil.
