GboyegaD:
How was the granola you made? Did you love it?

I mixed many things in it. I couldn't get rolled oat. The one I saw was damn too expensive..about 4,000 I guess. So I opted for quick oat. Things used were

Quick oat
Groundnut
Sesame seeds
Cumin seeds (this was a big mistake I regret so much). It spoiled the taste
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Honey
Raisins
Sesame oil
Date and coconut.

You inspired me to make this. It was nice but the cumin seeds spoilt the taste.
I will like to try again with rolled oat to see the difference though

britiko:
Great! U should start thinking of taking ur creativity to the next level if that's ur passion. Check online courses on Udemy, Coursera, etc and you can make some money from what u love doing. Stay inspired and don't let anyone crush ur passion. Stay strong!

Thanks. I'll work on this.

I thought you left NL. It's good to have you back

britiko:
welcome back! Dat seems a short break. Ope u feel better.

Thanks ma . I couldn't do without food photography

We have been missing you lots.

Thanks. I'm flattered

pocohantas:

It's not the group o. But I'm done with those Facebook food groups though

pocohantas:
Same here. I really do not know why we have to pay for the sins committed by Facebookers.

Hathor5:
I miss Akposy.

Thanks. I miss you all too and your exotic dishes

NoToPile:
I made another batch of shortbread yesterday.
This one came out better, rolled the dough with the nylon still on it,it didn't break and was smoother.

I took the tips to prevent burning.

Before and after baking


Cc:4realwo.man,cutie.reborn,wets.moke,akp.osy

You did well. Yum yum!!

Mariangeles:
Hi Akposy, I hope you're doing OK...

Yes I am! Thanks

pocohantas:
Food is ready. Had mine with garri, it tastes like ijebu garri, but it sure isn’t it.

Enticing!!!
I'm Ewa agoyin phobic now

holysaint1:
hey lovely introverts, hope you re all doing great. Am really bored and need a mate i can spend some time chatting with.

if you care, just pm. Thnkx

Are you still bored?

minicky:
try Wattpad it's cool have been reading lots of books there lately

Thanks. I will!

Hello Foodies.... It has been ages

Missed you all. I was welcomed by lots of notification. Where will local boy start from now

Thanks everyone for your support, suggestions and criticism. I really appreciate.

Like I said some days back, cooking has become more of a burden than fun and this lockdown has really been affecting me mentally (reason those hate speech got to me).
Well, I think it's time to take a huge break from cooking, food photography and social media. Everything has been overwhelming. As my sub expire tomorrow, local boy is going on temporary leave. Culinary art and food photography is one of the major reason I come online. It's time to focus on poetry and reading.

Muchas gracias. I'll miss you all

cutiereborn:
Thanks. You are right about it breaking while rolling out after refrigerating.

What I did was roll it with the cling film on it. It worked

@Liliantalks... that's mashed white beans
@kingreign. Well done
@freecocoahubby....because I cooked purple beans

Prestonn:
Please don't get me wrong, I did not say you stole the photo Boss

No problem Chef. No offence taken

pocohantas:
-The beans seems overmashed and watery. You said this is your choice.
-The pepper is too visible. I told you a way around this.

In all, they do have their points, but the problem is hardly about what you say, it is how you say it. If you have to criticize- be CONSTRUCTIVE and proffer a solution. Don’t just put people down as is typical with lots of cyberbullies.

It is okay if you decide to stay away from FB, just know they are on NL too. You are lucky this thread is a sane and loving one, though once in a while, they bring their stupidity here.

True. Thanks! Well noted

fieryy:
I wouldn't take such comments to heart, especially since they are not constructive criticisms. I don't see anything wrong with the picture. It might be differently from what people are used to, but it's being different that makes you stand out.

Noted. Thanks

ImaIma1:
Looks salivating for we that know ewa agoin. Not everyone will appreciate it especially people staying in the east, south or places where they have never heard of the meal.

But next time, don't over mash the beans so that we can still see some bean seads

True. Thanks

SweetCunt97:
So why complaining mbok? You simply gotta take criticism with a cheerful heart.

Okay

Prestonn:
Forget the fact I respect you and your photo you do upload.

1... With this picture, I can't see any thing like beans.. the only thing I can figure out is Bread and onions with some cream which look like custard.

2.... I can't figure out your subject, which is the beans, Bread, paper or custard....you said is ewan agoyin but it seems you don't really know what you upload, because I can't see anything like beans...to judge from the photo, gonna say you stole the picture, because the food doesn't look like what you said it is..

The Beans look like Onions.

Oh God. I don't even know what to say or where to start.

I used white beans and i mashed very well (overmashed). That's checkers custard with milk. That's bread

Pics is my work table..I knead, cut...do all my culinary work, read and take pics with this table. I don't have any reason to steal someone's pics and upload as mine...God forbid I ever do that.

Ishilove:
Lol. You need to get strong military mind to be on social media. Chin up, nothing is wrong with the photos.

I think I need to eat more liver

SweetCunt97:
The beans looks too mashed up. It's just too watery. No overdo next time

I love my beans that way. What do you mean by overdo...

cococandy:
Whenever such occurs, ask yourself what would cause someone who you’re not thinking about to have such deep personal negative opinions about what you’re posting. Imagine saying someone’s food is shit. Even if you don’t like the look, it doesn’t cost to look and pass instead of being hurtful. The answer is that some people feel better when they dump their negativity on you. Like it removes the burden from them or something. So don’t let it permeate.

Thanks. I appreciate

Amorprincesa24:
Is it You think you can cook group? The Admin would have removed those who insulted you and turned off the comments.
I think its because they couldn't see the beans clearly maybe due to it being overly mashed.

Don't take the insults to heart.
After seeing the insult did the money in your bank account increase or decrease? Oya forget them.

Yeah..it is.
I'm leaving the group ASAP. Ever since I joined, I only see peeps commenting bad on people's meal and talking people down. I can't stay around such energy.
I don forget them jare...they are dead to me

cococandy:
I love the chunks is pepper.

I like food that’s recognizably spicy from just looking at it.

Thanks. I used both Shombo and rodo.
Spicy food is bae and it's rainy here....pepper to the rescue

Chatbot1234:
stat strong, they just being bullies and sadists.
i never had ewa agoyin before and i was salivating to your meal before reading the write up.
leave hate and focus on the meal and art ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks. I will

Prestonn:
If I am to look at this photo and judge, I think some of them are right.

Okay. Judge..what's wrong with it

BoleAndFish:

Don't take everything people say to heart.

Thanks... Most Nigerians are just jealous and angry bees. I never see . You need to see the bitterness..chai

Cococandy, Mariangeles, iomoge, petyprinces, pocohantas and others who have been insulted on this thread.... I now know how it feels

I posted one of my Ewa agoyin pics in one cooking Facebook group like that.... The insults I've been getting no be here....some said it's shit, some said I stole the pics...some said the food is nonsense....some said I blended onions as beans ....the insults are breaking my weak heart. 90% of the insults came from the ladies
I feel like going offline
Below is the pics i posted. What exactly is wrong with the meal....I need genuine response

Palm oil rice

Sexyjigga:
If you can't bake it, buy it.

*Jay z voice*

530 for just biscuit? We'd bake it...anyhow e come out, we go chop abeg

cutiereborn:
Someone just reminded me, now I have used my last flour for these goodies
With this lock down palavar, I forgot to restock

Lovely. You over baked too. Did you also struggle to roll out and cut because it was breaking?

BlueRayDick:
Because the Bible says thou shalt not kill....and Evangelist Timaya the great revivalist sang : " I can't kill myself".....


I decided to follow the gospel and also follow the wordings of that song " I can't kill myself", so I had this for brunch : Chicken suya pizza + ice ream

Can I have the ice cream please....I day always crave coldstone ice cream anytime I pass their outlets for Lagos but afraid no gree me enter there

Leesah:
Ogu area and for the first time, I felt like I belonged to a country. We were given 4 custard rubber of beans, 3 big yams, 8 power pasta spaghetti, 6 custard rubber of garri, palm oil, onions.

They tried o. Good one!

NoToPile:
4realwoman Akposy and wetsmoke I made my own short bread last night following the receipe.

The pastry was not so smooth on the top, it burnt a bit more of cruchy but it tasted nice.

The vacant squares were the ones used for tasting.

Any tips to prevent burning during baking?

You tried....Next time you try, kindly remove from the oven once you notice the down is brown

iamoyindamola:

motunabby:

Custard aka Pastry cream (egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, milk and flour). I actually used checkers custard . ...reason why it is runny. I was too tired to make pastry cream
Thanks

MariamAlheri:
900naira per month and this monthly payment is only possible if you are paying with your card.

If you choose transfer payment option, they mandate the payment to be 2,700k quarterly or 9k per year.

Imagine that

Maybe I'll just return to Anybooks even though they're misbehaving.

Anybook is better then. Thanks

pocohantas:
- Soak in hot water for some minutes before blending.

- Blend with the water you used to soak it.

- Blend alongside dry crayfish to give it some weight. Makes it easier for the blade to get every.

I forgot to snap before before pouring it out, but I got a fairly smooth paste with that method.

Thank you very much! I'll try this next time I make Agoyin sauce
