With no sense of guilt and square thought, I can outrightly say that my wife is the best cook in the whole wide world .
I know it might not sit well with some person's but it's my findings and personal opinion which I own and remain entitled to.
Throughout my years of navigating the world I haven't met or seen anyone who cooks excellently as her.
Vegetable soup, Ayaraya ji and Oka , Egusi soup, bitterleaf soup , Oha soup . I don't really know which she cooks more heavenly than the other .
From infant I detest and abhor draw soup because of that heavy stomach uproar and squall it gave me during my high school days l, those who knew me can attest to this fact.
My wife knew about this too and that anything Ogbono irritates me to the marrow .
One morning, I had prepared for my daily routine, she jokingly said ..
Babe I will make draw soup for you tonight, I gave her a stern and terrible look and left for business.
Later that night I returned home , had my bath and sat on the sofa at the sitting room , I tuned in the decoder to watch my dear Manchester United up against crystal Palace . Anyone who knows me would tell how passionate and emotional I am about Man United and football in general.
In a flash my wife interrupted with dinner , I washed my hands and gleefully opened both plates , well you had guessed right . It was well pounded mound of the best specie yam and a plate of ogbono soup wreathed in different cuts of goat meet and Azu okpoo. I wanted to raise my voice in anger but she is the best at what she does , she preached me to surrender and I devoured the meal with ceaseless dexterity.
Ladies and gentlemen, well to spare your time of lengthy reading, I can confidently confirm to you that I have adopted the ritual of cooking Ofe Ogbono in my house every Saturday.
The glory and delight of that night has refused to leave my memory.
I crave for her meals even in dreams , although religious experts had argued against eating in dreams , citing it's demonic.
Well that's another debate that could keep us busy for years .
For me I can consume her meals anytime anyday it's served in dreams , if it's demonic so be it.
I am an advocate of a good food and my wife is an evidence that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
