My Diary Game: How I Spent My Day Shopping Food Items for My Family //@essygold/11/03/22

Hello all my friends and lovers of the Steemit Social Network, how are you all doing today. I hope there is no problem. Thanks to the Almighty God. I want to take you down to how I went shopping for the family food that will be prepared this weekend. Its going to be a delicious Jollof Rice and the Weekend Stew for Sunday morning. Follow me along while I detail you.

I have already bought every other ingredients you know that can make a tasty stew but I needed to get some fresh tomatoes in the market, so I got a paint bucket full.

I also bought some fresh peppers of 3 different species to bring out a good taste of the stew.

When I left there I also bought Rice, I needed to buy about 1 paint bucket to add up to what I already have at home. These days Rice is very expensive in Nigeria especially as Rice importation is banned from coming into the country. Here in Nigeria the production of rice locally has gone so far and we already are having the Rice pyramid. Personally I preferred the locally grown rice because the taste is sweeter and nourishing. So I buy local rice.

Other grains like the Millet is much available in the market too but its expensive too. The high cost does not make it impossible for consumers not to buy. Nigerians are very much ready to adapt. No wonder some people call it a suffering and smiling situation. On the food table of every Nigerian you must see cooked rice almost on a daily basis. Another food that is available daily too is the Pap (Ogi/Akamu). I usually mix corn with millet and soak it for 2 days, then I wash it and take it to the Grinding engine machine. After grinding it, I will then refrigerate it and anytime we need some Pap, we just dish it a little as much as we can consume and finish at once during our breakfast as a family.

After buying all I could from the market, I decided to start coming home. When I got to the garage to board the bus, they were not many people inside the vehicle so I have to wait patiently for the bus to get filled up. Eventually we left the market. On getting home, I was very tired. I just get inside and help myself with a glass of cooled water to chill out the hot sun.

I had to rest a bit from the hot sun. I slept off and was woken by a visitor. Shortly after, when I checked the time it was already 6pm or there about. By this time I am tired and worn out, its already gone past 8pm when I checked out the time again. I decided to go to bed early by 10pm after listening to the news hour especially the foreign and international news.

Thank you immensely for reading patiently down to the end, till we jam again here on blog. Its still me saying - Cheers!!!
