When one lives a married life that exists pretty much in the air, you learn to adapt. Since we tied the knot, Mrs. B and I have been to India twice, the US, Nigeria and the UK in between and one of our biggest concerns when out of London is food! As a result we usually end up buying dry packed pastas, packet soups, frozen hams and sausages, which does the trick till we get settled at our destination. Until now Mrs.B’s cooking experience boiled down to burning toast and I do mean that literally, there were flames coming out of the toaster and she was trying to put it out by blowing on it like you would candles on a birthday cake.
Now things have changed as I’ve learned that she is a natural in the kitchen even if she doesn’t understand all the ingredients. For instance just today she decided to make some pasta and was kind enough to ask me what meats I would like in it. Unsure what my pallet yearned for I asked what choices I had. She lifted up the two packets and said my choices were;
‘Chorizo or…..Pro Chutiyo’
After a moments pause we burst out laughing and she tried a couple more times and finally managed to say Prosciutto!
I wonder what’s next, Harami cheese?
Marriage Tip No. 34
Whenever your spouse is cooking you a meal, make sure it’s ‘Chutiya’ free!
Welcome to my tasty married life!
