Joke Silva Jacobs recently discussed her dislike of cooking and the true reason she hasn’t cooked for herself in a very long time on Mercy Johnson Okojie’s program, “Mercy’s Menu.”
During the interview, Joke Silva was asked “Do you cook?” She responded:
JOKE SILVA: Uhmmm, I haven’t done so in a long time.
“It has been long you cooked? Why is that?”
Now that you are a grand mom and you are a mom, what is the difference between being a grand mom and a mom? Does it make you softer or harder?”
JOKE SILVA: Well you kind of are gentler with the grand children and harder with the grown up ones. You are a bit tougher and you also have a bit more time for the grand children when they bring them. They are returnable to the owners [laughs].
“When they are around, do you cook for them? Do they insist that grand mom makes something for them to eat?”
JOKE SILVA: No. No, I mean. I have my chef.
“You said Uncle Olu is the one who liked to cook. You cooked because you had to, tell us about that.”
“This is so romantic and it strikes me like Uncle Olu is a very romantic person.”
JOKE SILVA: He is actually. He is rather. He is the more romantic one.
