A new chef nearly got the house burnt

I remember when I was very much younger I use to stay in the kitchen with my mum and anything she prepared back then was always noted by me incase I was opportuned to prepare any meal when I was right to do so. My mum gave birth to five boys and no girl which was why I was always very close to her whenever she was preparing something in the kitchen.

Is not that I really wanted to know what she was preparing in the kitchen but my main aim was that whenever am with her, I get the opportunity to taste or eat anything in the kitchen without my brothers knowing and this however depends on what my mum was preparing especially if it involves meal like chicken and fish, I don't miss having a taste before it get done.

My mum always remind me that someday I will be opportuned to prepare nice dish like this and no one will be there to put me through. She then said if I am really grabbing all what she was doing and I said yes with confident thinking I have gained a lot of experience and to be sincere I can't even put on the gas.

The only time I spend more time with mum in the kitchen was during weekends and this is because we don't go to school until Monday. My main duty with her was to bring anything she ask me to do and it involves things she needs in preparing anything she wants to and also after the whole cooking, I can assist her in serving my Dad and brothers.

A new chef is employed

I was still very much younger around 9 to 10 years old when I prepared my first meal which was noodles lol and this was even the help of mum because she put me through in doing so without much stress, I even don't want an assistant when preparing the noodles but still yet I can't tell if the noodles was ready or not.

Then one day my mum wasn't around and something was telling to go and prepare food to surprise my mum when she comes back and the only food on my mind to prepare was beans.

Then I went to the kitchen without even telling my brothers my mission and then yeah I decided to take the challenge. I first put on the apron and cap to show my apprearance as the latest chef before proceeding to cook.

The beans however needs to be picked because there were still some dirts in it and the only thing I did was to remove the ones I can see infront before putting it inside the pot. Then I switched on the gas which took me 15 minutes to turn it on because I was scared it shouldn't explode lol.

Then I poured the beans in the pot with little water and my mum do tell me that beans take longer time to prepare than the noodles I eat which was my mindset of leaving it that long then I went to play without even remembering I put something on the fire.

It was my neighbor that came out shouting that something was burning seriously and behold the whole house was full of smoke and it was then I realized I put something on the fire. One of my brother was even fast asleep in the sitting room and seeing how terrible the smoke was I don't know what to do until my neighbor came to off the gas for me.

He started shouting at me that who sent me to cook and I kept quiet because I don't know what to say with my apron looking nice on me. My mum came back in the evening and when she was told what happened I got the beaten of my life and since then I resigned as a chef.
