Girls MUST Learn How To Cook

MuslimSisLilSis —

Says my gran each time I go and visit her-and whenever she finds out that I still only know how to make tea and boil rice she gets angry with me 😢

Anyways-this topic makes me laugh

I have a cousin around my age who is ALWAYS getting told off by her mum cos she don't know how to cook-apparently no guy will want to marry her :roll:

thats bull-she's pretty, religious and clever

her and her mum have massive kick off regarding cooking

cooking is not rocket science-if u can read and follow directions all u need to do is purchase a good cook book and ur sorted

ALSO boys should be self sufficient-there's too many mummy's boys out there who dont know how to do jack-they should learn

of course-I'm not saying that girls shouldnt cook-all I'm saying is that cooking aint the be all and end all

there's more to life

Anyways, discuss gender stereotypes and the misconception that girl MUST know how to cook otherwise no one will want to marry them

Get a breadmaker.

Someone at work does that to knead the dough.[/quote]

I wanted that but mum thinks i am lazy as it is, but kneading the dough is not a problem for me i actually do it pretty well (annoying thing is when too much water is added!) and my chappatis are good, made it after months the other day and they were round!

tip for lilsis: add little water at a time (u proly do that but thats the only way of getin it right, not too soft and not too hard)

Does that work?

One has to put a LOT of strength into kneading the dough..I wonder if a breadmaker could get the job done. If so, its worth buying.

Someone I know can knead the dough using a fork. Cos she (like me) doesnt like her hands getting sore...I'd love to learn how she does that.

I'm tired. I'm hungry. and i'm not done with my work. and I know you aren't supposed to start sentences with conjunctions. or be using the passive voice. but right now I just don't care.

You can?!

lol I have been trying to kill the "AIM syndrome" lately. Consequently, i've been paying far more attention to grammar and spelling than I probably should be.

Anybody here other than me and the chance-glance American use AIM?

It is heavy and thats so annoying.

Apparently a sign of a good Tawah is its heaviness. But yeah, if its not balenced on the stove properly it can fall. I broke the handle on mine time ago.

Yes itr true. In every single pomegranate that is on the earth it contains ONE seed that is from jannah. Thats why when I have pomegranate I make sure that I eat every single seed and make dua that OH ALLAH I have consumed a seed from the paradise, how can You send me to the fire when I have consumed the fruit of the paradise?

star — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 - 15:21

i used to do that to...

when dads at home he alwayz bought pomegranates, took ALL the seeds out in a big bowl and told everyone to eat..coz they good for you

havent had em since ages

if u dnt take easily then u cant blame ppl for insisting when they bring u a gift can u?

U shud just shutup, smile sweetly and accept graciously when som1 gives u a gift. BUT if u think there is some form of bribery involved in the gift then you can refuse and infact you must refuse. But if you think the giver of the gift is giving it with no ulterior motive, and is giving it with an open heart, freely and happily then its cruel to not take it.
