Babymama1: Yam and chicken stew
Cold and yet to be warmed

SewaGRITS: This is a sweet bread I learned from a Polynesian (Haiiwain) friend. It's called Pani Popo, and is a sweet roll with a coconut milk glaze. It's soooo good! I made the rolls from scratch this time (sometimes I buy frozen bread dough instead of laboring with homemade bread). The dough is the same kind you'd use for a sweet roll like cinnamon rolls (for those bakers in the house). The glaze is coconut milk, sugar, and regular milk. Even though it looks like it's swimming in milk, the milk mostly gets absorbed while baking, but leaves just enough sauce to drizzle over the roll when serving. Enjoy!

touchmeder: But the bread looks soggy tho

martyns303: most importantly my garri.

SewaGRITS:
It's really not though. After baking most of the coconut milk/cream thickens and is absorbed, and leaves a sticky glaze on the outside...not soggy at all.
Here's another pix that shows that it doesn't come out soggy...

touchmeder: Nice shot, yum yum.

SewaGRITS: Tonight's dinner for the hubby...he's growing ewedu (as well as tete, okra, and corn) in our backyard garden. Mumsy sent the seeds over for him. So here's me trying my best to make fresh ewedu, gbegiri (shelling the beans - - not fun for an OCD person like me; have to pick each and every single hull I find; needless to say it takes me forever which is why I love it when I find them already peeled), and chicken stew :-)

armyofone: I really love your garden. I want one but time.
My goal is to plant scent leaf, Ugwu and Nigeria spinach.

Did you plant into the ground? Share your planting idea.

If you give me your plate, i will eat only the stew and meat . The only time i eat ewedu is when my mom once in blue moon used it for Ogbono.



Ohh, ogbono is next on my list of soups to learn! Any tips and a plate of gbegiri and chicken stew may be coming your way ?

We did plant it in the ground. Sometimes I plant in containers and sometimes in a small plot along my side fence where I get the most sunlight. I love backyard gardening, and have planted corn, tomatoes, peppers, peas, okra, cucumbers, melons, squash, zucchini, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, lettuce, and carrots. If you plant in a container box or in a few planters on your back porch it is not time consuming (I.e. You don't have to do a lot of weeding or ground prep). My advice would be to start simple (2-3 easy to grow plants in a few containers or a 4x4 container box).
The good thing about the ewedu, efo tete and efo shoko that my husband planted is that it is very prolific. These bad boys grew like weeds, and we still have so much tete and shoko that I will be freezing it. It has also been very low maintenance. All we do is water, and about once every couple of weeks I'll go out and weed it. Now oko mi's style of planting is different than mine. He throws so many seeds out there and mixes them all up that I guess that's why we've had very few weeds, whereas I do neat and orderly rows with space between each plant. Whatever works, right! Anyway, try it. It's the best thing because you know you're getting food free of pesticides, it's the freshest you could ever get, and you're increasing your ability to provide for you and your family and be self-reliant in the event of food scarcity.

Burning real life sausage? That one is suicide

As for the bonga, fish etc. How does she manage the fish bones. bonga fish is one fish I can never put in my soup. Tiny bones that will hook your throat and you forget the whole meal.

babymama3: Yum

beeevan: Cococandy, my version of wheat chin chin.
