This time around, I challenged myself to prepare a local delicacy that I have been dreaming to prepare but had not got the chance. Yes, the delicacy requires time and attention but it is not something I had prepared before. It is somehow foreign to me but I challenged myself and got it prepared. The result was great.
How about ladies looking good? What do you think? Well, I think it is a nice business. It goes with happiness and feelings of fulfilment. I do t know about others but I feel great when I am able to take out time out of my busy schedule to look good. See how it went
I had to maintain my club75 status by powering up weekly. Yes,I did powerup my earnings. Let's see how it goes.
LOOKING GOOD?
Yes, I have been wearing wig since last year. It is much easier for me to just weave my hair and wear wig whenever am going out. I have won that for close to 2 months and I needed a new look.
As an African lady, my hair was due to be relaxed. I already had the relaxer at home so I set out to the saloon to get it retouched. They are my usual hair dressers and as such I don't think of visiting any other saloon. They take proper care of my hair and my broken hair is not strong.
Getting to the saloon, they came around and applied the relaxer as you can see in the pictures below 👇👇
After having some good time with them, the hair was washed. The relaxer was really good on the hair as it relaxed normal as you can see in the pictures below
Can you notice the new look? It really makes sense to look good 👍👍👍👍.
PREPARING A LOCAL DELICACY, I HAD TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO PREPARE IT
It is called Ikpang. A local delicacy of the Akwaibom and Calabar special. I have been eating it when I am given but have not tried it. Trust me, I had asked how it is prepared and it was narrated to me. I asked severally to learn about different ways to prepare it and the major ingredients to be added. But the day to prepare it wasn't certain anyway.
I decided to give it a trial. I had bought the ingredients beforehand. See what I used
INGREDIENTS | QUANTITY | AMOUNT IN STEEM |
---|---|---|
Cocoyam | 2 portions (20 PCs) | 1.4 steem |
Water yam | 1 small tuber | 1 steem |
Shell periwinkle | 2 cups | 1 steem |
Bonga fish | 4 pics | 2.1 steem |
Potato leaf | 1 bunch | 0.7 steem |
Roasted ice fish | 1 medium size | 3.6 steem |
Fresh pepper | to taste | 0.7 steem |
Palm oil | 2 cooking spoon | had it at home (2 Steem) |
Salt
Seasoning cube
Crayfish
PRE-PREPARATION STAGE
- I peeled the water yam and cocoyam, washed and grated
- I washed the fished, for the bonga fish, I removed the flesh and pounded the head and every other part, washed with water and sieved out the unwanted part. Then used the water to start the cooking. So I turned it to the cooking pork
- I then washed the shell periwinkle and laid then as foundations in the cooking post
- I then wrapped the grated yam and cocoyam with the potato leaf in little portions and laid then inside the pot. Note that I already mixed salt and a little seasoning cube in the grated water yam and cocoyam to give it taste
- i placed the pot on fire and it cooked. When it properly cooked, I then added other ingredients including palm oil and before long it was ready.
Yummy 😋😋😋, I am not an expert but trust me, this one was really yummy. Infact, we emptied the pot that same night
I PREPARED ZOBO DRINK
My husband bought pineapple which we used for fruit salad. But it was remaining, I thought of preparing zobo drink for my kids. They like it a lot. So, I sent for the zobo leaf and the fruit they call vitamin C. Along with the pineapple, I prepared the zobo. I just washed the leaf into the cooking pot, added the pineapple, the vitamin C and brought to a boil . Then added a little sweetener to it and placed on refrigerator after sieving it.
CONCLUSION
