KITCHEN HAVOC

Hey guys, it’s been forever I know. It’s a long story…actually it isn’t. Maybe I’ll explain some other time, maybe.  Okay, back to the main gist, have you ever been in a #gonewrong situation. My friend once told me about how she wanted to cook egusi, I think it was she and her brother. She already added two packs which is four cubes of KNORR seasoning cubes, her brother without knowledge came as well and added four extra cubes. I guess, he didn’t know that she had already seasoned the soup earlier, Egusi #gonewrong.  Over seasoned soup, I’m not sure how that went, but I’m sure nobody ate from it. This actually emphasizes the saying “too many cooks, spoil the soup”. Daddy mentioned how he first tried to make vegetable soup “efo riro”. He went to the market and bought leaves that looked like spinach to him. He got home and went through all the “efo riro” procedures that he, at that point knew. He noticed after a while that the soup became slimy, i.e. it was “drawing”. Man

GREENS SNEERG

Hey Guysss, it's been quite a minute. I had a somewhat hectic yet food filled week. That one is story for another day...Honestly.  Everyone who knows me well enough knows or has at one point or the other heard that i like to eat with colors. Like for example, a beautiful plate of delicious Amala with beef stew, Gbegiri and then the ewedu in that order. That already seems so appetizing to me, i don't know about you.  Green isn't exactly my favorite color, especially not when it comes to food. if you're wondering what about Efo-riro (vegetable soup), I blend enough pepper to go with the green and it comes out more inviting. So I don't know what made me do what i did today. Sigh! Anyways, so I decided to try something new today, I was really feeling all healthy with myself. And so I decided to go for a new blend of Smoothie that I saw on the internet. And how did that work out you ask? It's past midnight and I still have more than half a bottle of smoo

TOO MUCH WATER??!

Two summers ago, I was drinking yet another bottle of water while on a FaceTime call with two of my friends when they began to complain that I drank way too much water. I laughed it off because it seemed so ridiculous, we’re advised to drink as much water as possible. I’m sure so many ladies can relate to that. They say to have flawless skin, drink water; for better weight loss, drink water…et cetera. So I don’t think anyone would at that point blame me when I thought there was absolutely nothing like “too much” water. Well, that was until a few days ago when I learnt in a discussion that just like there is DEHYDRATION , there is also something called OVERHYDRATION . Yes my love, it does exist. I was as shocked as you are when I learnt about it.  OVERHYDRATION is basically an excess of water in the body. Let’s break down this way…All the major systems of your body depend on water to properly function. When one drinks an adequate amount of water, it helps your body flush

A LOVE STORY

Let me tell you a story A love story My love story I once went out to Eat That was when I first saw him It was definitely love at first sight His dark chocolate skin That attracted me the most I walked up to you and smiled And then I stretched out my hand That began our beautiful romantic escapade I can’t seem to forget the taste of you when we kissed, At that moment, I knew you had French blood in your bloodstream. You’re obviously bad for me, but the way you made me feel… That beautiful cold feeling of you roaming my insides It makes all my senses numb All I remember is you going in and out of my mouth Till I reached my satisfaction And that was it. I’ve tried others                                 But none has brought me the kind of satisfaction that you did.

Potato Chips Dreamland

Hey Everyone, So I finally decided. We'll be appreciating the beauty of Potatoes today. Potato chips. Potato chips are so awesome, almost as awesome as Plantain Chips. My favorite Potato Chips in the world are...*drum rolls* Lays Potatoes Chips. These Chips go with a lot of things; dips, jam, jelly and even ice Cream. I could almost not find them in the Mall for a very long time. That was until I suddenly just saw it when I went on a school trip. I leapt for joy with so much excitement and interestingly, it even isn't as expensive as I thought it would be. But that joy sort of came to an end when I couldn't find the only flavor that my tongue will allow me enjoy😞. I was so sad, like why are my taste buds so picky😖. The one flavor that I so love very much is the Classic flavor. Anyways, There is this new potato chips in town and you have to trust me on this one, it is the Bomb. It is the best one around now, from the packaging to the price and then the taste...oh
