I made Jollof rice the other day and washed it down with my homemade lemonade.

CMC180:
First time
Dears
Is there a way to make the crumb feel and taste more lighter?
Could it be a higher flour ratio or I need to add more water next time

Is this banana bread?

Magnificenttop:
Your foods are as good as your foodography.

Although your food posts have the tendency to motivate the urge to rob a bank.

Thanks

cococandy:
Thank you

I fee things are about to slow down now. 108 degree weather yesterday and predicted to be over 100 again today.

🥵

Oh. Most will still survive. I lost 80% of my plants to negligence. I travelled, my neighbors/compound security didn’t help with watering them. All they did was to harvest my super hot habanero fruits.

I will revive them all though. Your turnip looks like radish; I guess it takes a month to harvest

Life gave me lemon, I made both lemonade and lemon cake.

Recipe for Lemonade
* Fresh lemon juice - 1 cup
* Water - 4 1/2 cups
* Sugar - 1 cup
* Fresh ginger - 1 stump, washed & sliced
* Whole cloves - 6
* Lemon grass - 5 leaves
* Cinnamon stick - 1/2 teaspoon
Boil (simmer) the sugar, cloves, cinnamon, lemon grass, ginger and water for about 8 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add in the lemon juice, cover and allow to infuse. Sieve, bottle, drink/refrigerate.

Happy new month

Anyone for the nairaland children?

Pancakes topped with vanilla ice cream, apple and caramel syrup.

Food lovers.
Please someone should reach out to that Lady from Ekiti who has started a challenge to break Hilda baci's record, that she can't contest to break a Guinness world record till after a year.

Someone should tell her and her team to stop wasting their time, energy and resources all for nothing.

She is not wasting her time and energy, whether she is doing it for GWR or Publicity, that is her business.

Everyone deserves a shot at success. She doesn’t owe Hilda or Nigerians an apology. GWR or Success is not Hilda’s birthright. I’m happy the Ekiti First Lady and other good Nigerians are recognizing her efforts already.

You guys should stop bringing people down with your words and actions. Allow the lady be, please

BlueRayDick:
I intend frying akara soon , but I can’t go through the stress of peeling beans and grinding it.

I guess I will try using beans flour and see how it comes out

It is not that hard. It didn’t take up to 15mins to wash the beans. I soaked in semi hot water for 20mins and washed…

cococandy:
won’t the lemon make it sour?

Not at all. It blended well with the sugar to give a unique taste

Breakfast… Akara/koose and Akamu.

I grated fresh ginger and squeezed in lemon juice into the Akamu. They tweak the taste

Homemade waffles plus strawberry ice cream topped with chocolate and strawberry syrup

kinah:
Is basil also scent leaf

No. Basil has a better, exotic, unique scent.
They are in the same family though

BlueRayDick:
Akposy please give me ur asun recipe . I’m thinking of cooking Asaro( Yam pottage) and asun for some guests I will be receiving next week

For the goat meat, I washed and marinated with;
Salt
Seasoning cube
Fresh thyme
Rosemary
Basil
Ginger
Garlic
Onion
Curry
Habanero (hot pepper, fresh)
Lemon juice, optional

I mix in the above spices into the washed meat and allow it sit for about 1hour. I proceed to steam the meat of low heat for about 20mins or so. I added more water (not too much) and boil at medium high heat.

When cooked (soft), I fried in hot groundnut oil.

For the pepper sauce, I used;
Hot pepper
Onion
Garlic
Tatashe or shombo.
Blend the above together, roughly. I had more onions I sliced.

Fry the sliced onion in hot oil. Add in the pepper mix and fry till it is well cooked. Add in your spices; Maggie, curry, thyme, etc.
Finally, add in the fried goat meat and mix together on low heat.

Lorayne:

Jollof rice and chicken and homemade zobo

cococandy:
Home made strawberry jam with strawberries from my garden. Persevered with heat and lemon juice only

Well done ma

1stGenAmerican:
Your harvest looks so vibrant and luscious—you must have excellent soil! Will you preserve any into a pepper mash or sauce?

Thank you. I made my soil mix myself since I grow in containers (cinder blocks, clay pots, wooden boxes, poly {grow} bags). My soil mix is made up of compost, Cocopeat, sandy loam soil and animal manure.

I tried making pepper sauce with a recipe I saw online. It went well but the smell/taste of vinegar in it spoilt it for me. I will look for a recipe without vinegar

cococandy:
I love to see all your gardening posts

Thanks.. I will be posting some here

Meanwhile, these were yesterday’s harvest
Habanero (yellow & red)
Jalapeños
Purple cabbage
Grape tomato
1 strawberry, again

1stGenAmerican:
I’m positive they do!
Cococandy, look at these. I just harvested a big basket of red and ripe cherry tomatoes and these are on deck already! These were all grown from the seeds of cherry tomatoes that I ate. Gardening is so rewarding.

Gardening is simply therapeutic. Your cherries look good.

I’ve being harvesting habanero nonstop from my container garden. I’m tired of them; I’ve been giving them out because they are too much and also very hot so I can’t use more than 2 (few times, 3) to cook.

Here’s a picture from my last harvest. The others are grape tomatoes (a sweet cherry variety) and 1 strawberry

Freezyhot:
I have to report this picture OOO💯🤤🤤🤤 AWESOME!!!!!! Commercialized?!! 😉😌

Thank you 😊
No, personal meal

VeevoH:
My pancakes are always too flat like crepes how do I make them thick and fluffy?

Beat enough air into it.

This can be achieved by whipping the eggs used to soft or stiff peak
