Chef Blade In Valicci Kitchen Thingz

It was on a Thursday afternoon after the cleanup...i was doing the normal cleaning and getting ready to go for shopping as Chef Blades works as if he was running after something  important not knowing that hunger  was responsible for his unexpected visit knowing that he must find something  good to eat in the kitchen.

Chef Blade is a wonderful chef who believes so much in culinary ethics that he never stops using those kitchen terms, he started by asking me after my sous chef of which I do not even have one, so I pretended not to understand the word sous until he made it clear by saying my assistant chef…and I was like; ok, he is not around.

As an experienced chef that have handled different kinds of hunger I was able to understand Chef Blades’ moves in the kitchen but I allowed him to suit himself first.

Looking into his eyes he was seriously and physically hungry so it touched my heart to heal him from his hunger but he was still busy laying complain of how my cutleries were not properly placed in the kitchen, how hot it is in the kitchen and threatened to use his handkerchief as It is against the culinary ethics, but for me I am in the kitchen and   I relate well with all my utensils, they know me as I know them, they feel me as I feel them.

Though I have a special feeling for my chopping board because that’s where all the vegetables in the kitchen get to meet before landing into the wok.

I was shocked to hear chef blade ask me where I got trained …seeing the anger from hunger in his eyes as he went on top of his voice and pronounced that he is very hungry, that he actually was coming from a long journey with a friend who dropped him off to go and get some money from the ATM machine nearby. The truth of the matter finally came out , all the forming as per culinary ethics and heat in the kitchen went down with the truth.

 He sat down quietly as I began to call on my utensils and few of the ingredients I have in the kitchen to bear with chef blade and consider his level and kind of hunger and they understood him clearly but for carrot that took time to accept the pleadings.

Then the cooking starts.

All I had in the kitchen that day was about 2 cucumber, 2 carrots, 3 spring onions, one whole apple, garlic and ginger, 1 egg, coriander, as I reached for my wok Chef Blade’s friend came into the kitchen complaining

to Chef Blade quietly as he failed to pull money from the ATM machine.. *double wahala for dead body*

His friend is an engineer, a slim dark skinned guy …according to him ..He likes Kitchen activities but he feels lazy to eat. We share views on eating habits and the impact of healthy and unhealthy eating habits in our society as the cooking went on.

Chef Blade got up to question what I was cooking with the little but no  ingredient he saw… but the truth was that I was after getting him back to normal with the right nutrient  as it is the essence of eating.

In the next 15minutes the food was almost ready ,chef blade was amazed with the end product as he began to think of what to name the food …I was equally glad that finally I made something that was appreciated after all the talks  in the kitchen.
