Coca Cola

The most famous liquid, after water, the popular, carbonated Coke actually started out as an alcoholic beverage.

Invented by Dr. John Stith Pemberton in 1885 as a means in which to calm his patients, the drink then known as Pemberton’s French Wine Coca was forced to change its alcoholic ingredient with the onset of Prohibition.

While the drink had been created as a means to deal with ailments like headaches, impotence and morphine addiction, the first sales of the beverage assured its early popularity and today it remains the most popular of carbonated beverages.

If you read the book "the Coke Machine", you would know that the original coca cola was made with cocaine in it. It was so wonderful that even the pope at that time blessed it. To this day, a certain extract from the cocaine plant is utilized in the making of coca cola and is labeled "extract number 5", extracted in New Jersey.

My first cooking experience was a disaster , after observing my mum in the kitchen for some years I decided it was time to try my hands out at cooking. Calling over my closest friend for the treat , I cooked rice ( done properly ) and stew ( na here the problem dey ). After cooking the stew it just turned green , don't know if it was the curry or thyme but the stew was green. We decided to give the dog the rice and stew and even the dog refused to eat ( probably thinking , na me una wan poison , thunder fire una )

Once upon a time, during the 2012 subbsidy strike, I needed to make groundnut soup but couldn't find bitterleaf anywhere. The only woman that had leaves had only uziza and utazi! Out. Of frustration I bought both leaves like that and used them to make my soup! Voila! The soup was the best tasting groundnut soup I had ever tasted. And my recipe stuck! So it's uziza and utazi for me now, instead of bitterleaf!

Also, there was a time waterleaf became scarce and expensive, so in order to make my afang soup, I bought waterleaf N200, which was ridiculously small, then buffered it with ugwu, before the afang! Oh boy! Till today, that's the way forward for me o! The remixed version of afang soup!

Oh, and also, during my sojourn in chicago, I bought yam to make asaro (yam porridge) for $12 at old world, like quite a distance from my house! getting home, the yam was 80% rotten! I decided to substitute with red potatoes I got from a nearby store! Oh my! My 5yr old little cousin had to exclaim, this is the tastiest meal I have ever had! I want to eat it everyday!

Don't blame me! I love food! And I love to cook!!!

Inventors: Scientists at Pfizer
Year: 1992
What Happened: A Welsh hamlet was ground zero for a test on a pill to fight angina. Unfortunately for the afflicted, it had little success against the disease. Big Discovery: Though it didn't work, the men taking part in the study refused to give up their medicine.
As a Result: The scientists switched gears and marketed the drug, Viagra, for a very different purpose.


Brandy
Inventor: A Dutch shipmaster
Year: 16th century
What Happened: He used heat to concentrate wine in order to make it easier to transport, with the idea of adding water to reconstitute it when he arrived. Big Discovery: Concentrated wine is better than watered-down wine. As a Result: 'Burnt wine,' or 'brandewijn' in Dutch, became a big hit. Call it brandy, since after a few drinks of the stuff, there's no way you can pronounce brandewijn so a bartender can understand what you're ordering.
