Snails Kebab

Snails kebab is a sumptuous and crunchy dish enjoyed in many parts of Nigeria. Though snail is most times expensive and its preparation somewhat tasking, eating this delicacy leaves you with a simply rewarding feeling

Ingredients

800g (2.2 lbs) white yam
800g plum tomatoes
300g cheese
300g white fish eg Whiting, Panga (Spanish) or Cord
1 medium onion
4 cubes frozen spinach
1 Habanero pepper or to taste
1 big stock cube
About 4 cooking spoonfuls vegetable oil (for frying)

Before you prepare the Baked Yam and Cheese

Wash and blend the tomatoes.

Blend, pound or cut up the habanero peppers.

Cut the onions into tiny pieces, cut the white fish into small cubes.

Peel and cut the yams into small cubes.

Defrost and cut up the frozen spinach then wringe out all the water from it.

Grate the cheese and set aside.

Cooking Directions
Make the Stew

Boil the tomato blend till all the water has dried.

Add the vegetable oil and onions and fry till all the tangy taste of the tomatoes is gone. This is the done the same way as
Tomato Stew.

Add the pepper, stock cube (crushed), stir and add the white fish.

Cover and cook till the fish is done. I use Panga and this takes at most 5 minutes.

Add the spinach, stir and take the stew off the stove immediately.

Boil the yam

Put the yam pieces in a pot and pour water to the same level as the yams.

Boil till the yam is done to your liking. I like mine well done and soft and it takes about 7 minutes on medium heat because
the yam pieces are small.

Once you are happy, remove the yams from the water and set aside.

Layer and bake

Set your oven to 200°C (390°F) to preheat.

Scoop the stew into a baking tray and spread it out to cover the base of the tray as much as possible.

Add the yam pieces on top of the stew, once again speading them out to cover the stew.

Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese on top of everything.

Bake till the cheese have melted.

Bring out from the oven and leave to cool down a bit for about 5 minutes. This gives the cheese some time to set.

It is ready to be served. Cut into it like you would a cake.

Jobs/Vacancies11 Ways To Find Work In Europe by bigfat(op): 1:11pm On Dec 29, 2012
11 Ways to Find Work in Europe

1. Study-abroad: Most universities have programs to send their students on one or two semesters studying abroad. If you have financial aid or scholarships, you don’t pay any extra costs other than application fees and flight tickets. You might have to pay from your own pocket if you attend a summer program as financial aid doesn’t cover summer program. This was the reason I missed out on my summer study abroad in Italy.

2. Reciprocal Student Exchange Program: You and your foreign exchange partner switch place. You go to his country and study at his school and he goes to yours. A Czech friend of mine who studied at Czech Technical University participated in this program. He relocated to the US and studied for a year in Arizona while his partner from Arizona moved to Prague.

3. IAESTE, AIESEC Internship: I can personally vouch for these programs as I did both. Both internships offered me the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge I learned from school, the money to finance my living and traveling in Europe and life-long friends I made while working there. Working in Eastern Europe will not earn you a lot of money, and you will dip into your own saving. If money is your priority, choose Western Europe, especially Scandinavia, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium or Netherlands. A friend of mine earned more as an intern in Zurich, Switzerland than as a regular employee in Hamburg, Germany. (By the way Hamburg is the richest city in Germany). Check out IAESTE and AIESEC’s local chapters at your school.

4. Au-pair: This option was very popular for young students 10 years ago. I guess it still is now. These au-pair programs find you host and arrange your paper work. It’s a plus if you speak fluent English as parents like for their kids to practice English with you.

5. Teach English: This option works best for those who are native English speakers and don’t cringe by the thought of living in Eastern Europe due to the higher demand for English teacher in this region. I live in the Czech Republic and can vouch for this profession. Ads for English-teaching schools and private teachers can be seen everywhere in the city. Many teachers have certificates, but there are also many who have only their native-tongues as credentials. If you want to live in Western Europe, your best option are France, Italy, Spain and Portugal since the locals don’t speak good English there. Central and Northern Europeans are very fluent in English; you can find janitors and shopping clerks in remote place speak good English, thus I am not sure if there is a great demand for English teachers. A lot of English teachers I met in Prague just show up, find temporary gigs before getting more stable positions in schools and either move on to new destinations, return home or stay longer.

6. Temp/Seasonal work: The most common destinations are the United Kingdom and Ireland where you can find jobs in bars and restaurants. You pick fruit in Norway and can earn a decent money. If you can teach people to ski, snowboard, canoe, kayak, the customs and border control is your limit.

7. Volunteer: This isn’t my favorite option because you won’t get any money to finance your stay in a foreign country. Many agencies even charge you a hefty application fees to find you a position. However, many people choose this option because it and many hosts offer free boarding and food. Check out www.transitionsabroad.com and www.helpx.net

8. Work for food and board: You don’t earn any money; in return you get free boarding and food with the host family. Working on farms is more common in Australia than in Europe though I don’t want to dismiss farming entirely from Europe. A friend from New Zealand came to Czech Republic to work first on a farm near Prague for three months before moving to Prague to teach English at a school. I visited the farm with her, worked there for the weekend feeding rabbits, calf, stacking hays for the cows, gathered chopped woods, fought with the goats in return for 3-time-a-day Czech meals and wonderful hospitality. In the evening, we went to the village’s dance prom, a very common activity for Czechs. www.helpx.net

9. Freelance: If you work for yourself and your work is location-independent like graphic designers, web designers, computer programmers or writers, it doesn’t make any difference where you work. I met a lot of such people in Prague and on my traveling. These people have two things in common: the love of traveling and laptops.

10. Regular job: You arrange a job prior to the move or get it after you come to the new country. This is what I did when I moved to Prague. I heard about the company through a friend of a friend. I submitted my half-finished resume, and a recruiter contacted me immediately. I was lucky because it was before the financial crisis and my company hired a lot of people. Many people I met here did similar thing by just showing up. I kinda showed up too, but then I had an ex-boyfriend who gave me a roof over my head and loaned me pocket money for the first three months while I was waiting for my working visa.

11. Relocate: If you work for a multi-corporation, use the opportunity to get a transfer. This applies to many of my co-workers who moved from the US and Malaysia when their projects finished or outsourced to Europe.

it happened to me when i was using unwired 4g i paid for 512kps and i couldn't even open a yahoo mail page then when i upgraded to 1 mbps ,it was much better ...512kps could fluctuate as low as 10 to 100kpbs instead of 512kps pad service and the 1mbps could fluctuate as low as 200 to 600 sometimes instead a 1000kbps service .it is just an economy where you need to make things work when you know that things are absolutely not workin.
