Create your own Seasoning Blends.  This is wonderful to give as gifts any time of year.  You can even make arrangment with local restaurants and sell them

Ingredients:

Onions, Garlic, Scallion, Thyme, Hot Pepper (be careful), Cloves, Sweet peppers, black pepper, celery, oregano and parsley

Method

Put all ingredients in the blender, place lid on blender and blend
Pour into sterilized jars. Cover tightly. Refrigerate.

*I use this to season my rice or by putting a light coating of butter on a fish, then  covering it in the spice blend.

Girl, I had the weirdest, weirdest, weirdest dream.  As God, Allah and Buddha who ever up there. . . .are my witnesses.   Last night I dreamed Mukina2 and iice (no face just their bodies) came to my house and held me hostage.  They insisted that I cook a dish naming it Nairaland Special.

For fun, I am going to cook the dish today and post it.  I want you all to know why those two beat the living day light out of me in my dream.

Before I start cooking the dish, let me tell you about my dream.  Mukina2 and iice came to my house dressed like soldiers.  They had about 5 guns each, grenades, bazookas and a time-bomb.

Mukina2:  “Start cooking the dish now, epi”
Epi: “No”
Iice:  “Mukee, let’s kick her ass now.  I’ve been waiting for this

Folks, those two beat the crap out of me – kicks, boxes, head butts, Mukina2 even tried to put me in the sleeper.  When they were done with me, I was on the floor helpless.

Mukina2: “epi, I say start cooking nowi” – attached the time-bomb on me (set for 90 minutes).  Well, after 30 minutes of torturing I started to cook

Then for some strange reason, Shaz and Mohawchic showed up in Ninja suits and challenged Mukina2 and iice.  Out of no where Mukina2 pulled a sword and cut off Shaz and Mohawchic hands.  She and iice grabbed the Nairaland dish and left the bomb on me ticking.

I woke up screaming “somebody help me”

I don’t know these ppl but they were in my dream.   Couldn't see their faces, just bodies. u know what this dream mean
