WhatCanIsay:
The question is, what kind of engagement does it generate? The engagement would have been better for someone simply trying to "drive traffic" and make an income solely from internet/blog traffic. Nairaland only gains here.

Then ask yourself, what sort of engagement do you need in food blogging, recipe books, and food vlogging? Is it controversial? If controversial; positive or negative? What questions are people asking; to know more or sarcastic? Most people involved in internet food, are involved to make money out of it, and to make money, you need offline calls.

Our Op gets engagement solely for Nairaland, the way politics section drive traffic for Nairaland because of negative engagements. She is actually not doing badly, but I don't think she can get more offline engagement that translates to real action.

I can and will get even more offline engagements when I start officially by God's grace.

Not yet. still trying to put one or two things in place. Would definitely let you know when I start.

Thanks dear.

socialjustice93:
The low budget soup still looks yummy, you tried jare but let me advise you small, since you're always posting your dishes on public space, try to get new plates, it won't cost you more than 2k to buy four breakable plates the flat one and the bowl for dishing your meals, it makes the final presentation more neater and inviting.. your cooking skills are nice na just the plates i no like.

Ok o. I go buy plates when nairaland contribute money give me. Shebi na una wan see new plate lol... i'm joking o. .

mariahAngel:
Never be discouraged.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Trust me, you've got way more fans than foes.

Ok Ma'am.
Thanks a lot

Bankowner:
Let anyone who feels they can cook better open a YouTube channel and post videos of the delicacies they cook and not condemn other people's effort.

The problem with the black man is simply superfluous. It is not needed.

@channah: Thank you for sharing.

Awwnnn so sweet. Thanks you Soo much! I appreciate.

deji17:
Only in Nigeria would you have such sumptuous meal, very rich in vital minerals for roughly $2.

Yes it's possible.

marvel2011:
1,700 naira? This must be during president Johnathan's regime

Lol.. it's in this current regime o. Na management soup.

Harmlesspill:
But earnestly the food is not looking bad.
Not every okra soup is thick.
I'm already salivating.
I like how the soup look......

Thanks dear. They want everybody to like what they like and cook exactly like them which is not possible. Let them rant.

As for me, I like this particular kind of soup in this consistency.

Otuegbe:

You're welcome my dear.

richie240:
**I came after viewing d ogbono thread**

Women are primarily home keepers and there's nothing bad/nothing to be ashamed of. Its just dt western cultured has 'brainwashed' us (both men and women) not to know and accept our gender roles, esp. d latter.

The average man- as much as he tries- doesn't have time for details like this; in short its not his forte.

These are one of d things that make one appreciate a (traditional) woman.

Thanks darl.

Slynation:
What happened to the remaining 3 slices of bread?? I can only count 6...!!

I was munching the thing as I was toasting it. .

UyaiIncomparabl:
Vomit! Is this how okra soup looks like in your village? If you were a food vendor, you for lose customers mehn. Go and take cooking lessons from scratch. You still need a lot of grooming. See your swallow, not well done.

I wonder the MOD that pushes this attention-seeking girl's threads to the front page. No quality content, just unappealing food pictures and rash comments. Nothing else. I won't eat that even if I was starved for one week. Abeg, madam, go learn how to present and cook great meals. Nonsense!

whitemand4:
Best response. In their head, they think everything they know should be the standard for others. People that invented different cooking methods only gave it a try in those days. They are not perfect. What stops you from being dynamic in your own way. In early 2000 we have 3310 now we have smartphones that's life. For me I like my swallows to very very hard, if u give me soft swallow I won't collect it.. that's me ! It doesn't mean I should hate people who prepares their swallows very soft or think they are amateur. What's so difficult in saying Weldon! That's the problem inherent in black genes.

Kudos to you jor.... Infact I'm salivating

My brother, I Taya for them here o.

Thank you Jare. At least people like you will encourage me to keep doing my thing in my own little way for now

God bless you.

Akeem79:
Go and do what you knows how to do best with that your wide mouth

You are the type Samloco was talking about in the pic below

八月头了 好像你大姨妈来了


八婆

Hey bruv, easy on her now . Let peace lead

Amakanancy, e don do. Please forget it.

Trash talk

What do you mean she has tried? Is it written anywhere that a woman should only put up with her husband when the going is good and take to her heels when things go south? Come on! She's not been supportive in anyway here if she can't be with you in this period to support and encourage you till you pull through.

So if things get better now, she'll come back? You men keep mumuing yourselves every day.

See, I'll advise you take up that job and be using to at least feed pending when a big breakthrough comes your way. Rejecting it altogether will amount to hunger strike soon considering the way the economy is going. People working are finding it difficult to survive how much more someone without any source of income.

It is well with you. That your wife no be better person.

Akeem79:
It seems like it's only Anambra people that know how to prepare a very traditional delicious bitter leaf, especially idemmiri side
They prepare it very thick and delicious

I'm not from Anambra and I don't really like the way they prepare theirs. That's why I tweaked mine by adding uziza leaves and used ofor as my thickener.

Akeem79:
Your bitter leaf is not enough

I don't too much in my soup. It makes it look dark and unattractive plus I like my soup as light as possible.

DaInferno:
I beg to differ, according to the dictionary, a Sandwich is any dish or foodstuff where 2 slices of bread are used as wrap for another food.
But if this isn't a sandwich, what is it called?

That was why I said this is not sandwich cos I didn't use two slices to close here. I simply replaced the cut out part after pouring the egg.

I really don't know what this one is called. Maybe egg toast or something. Hopefully someone with the real name will come and tell us.

DaInferno:
You made a sandwich

Is this how sandwich is made? This is not sandwich. Sandwich is not toasted on the fire. The edges of the bread are removed when making sandwiches and the ingredients are different.

Friend22:
You too get sense.
You understand life not all these leeches.

I am currently in a similar position too.

I can't abandon my parents especially my mum who isn't strong health wise.

Dont mind them. They all wish they were in ops shoes. I'm telling you, if rent is removed from soneone's responsibilities, it will be a huge relief. such golden opportunity is what they are telling him to throw a way because they don't have it.

fortune1894:
YOU DON DEY FIND MY TROUBLE OO...

.. abeg, no vex. .

Templee333:
abeg-o,no be my voice b dat-o. Na d voice of one Nigerian husband! U self suppose understand say me i no be husband now.

Hmmm.... Ok o.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I wish my daddy had a house in this Lagos, I would have been staying there cos this house rent I'm paying is vexing me.

House matter now no gree person talk. So stay where you are. instead of enriching another mans pocket, save the money and start building your own house. That is if you care to. Don't let anyone push you into hardship.

Templee333:
When her husband finds out he says
"What if u'd just eaten the bread & boiled eggs? Any difference? If u rebake an already baked bread, remember u r using gas-o.4 dis buhari season?
things are hard & my earning is small.No dear,we have 2 manage naaaw..."

Ain't you going to use gas to boil or fry the eggs? Besides its done on a low heat. So it won't consume much gas.

If you dey calculate like this, you no go eat wetin hungry you o.

Variety is the spice of life.

peepydelano:
Good, simple and easy to make .

Yes very simple except the prepping part of the bread.

Potbellyman:
I repeat it will not belle full me but it looks yummy

Oh.. k. I see you're a heavy eater.

ExAngel007:

Thanks darl.

Potbellyman:
This one will not belle full me oh

Says who?
The egg and milk made it heavy. Very filling for me.

Templee333:
Can i have a taste?

Oya, join me virtually. lol...

delzbaba:
How many eggs u waste for this thing, with the current state of this country now, this is for upper class

Just 300 naira eggs.

Anyone can make it and it's very filling.

Cypress042:
Looks yummy though

When it's dried, flip to the other side and allow to toast a little. Then take it out.

Serve with chilled drink, hot chocolate or tea.

Last pics.

Voila!
Ready for munching.

Now, you can add anything you like to your egg mix. Just be creative with yours and share.

lalasticlala come and snack.

For loss of what to eat, I decided to make this sumptuous meal.
This meal is rich and packed with lots of nutrients for both adults and kids.

You and your kids can have fun with this creative meal and enjoy it as breakfast or dinner with some hot chocolate. Very filling. Easy to package for your Little kids to school for breakfast.


Ingredients
Slice bread. ( I used nine slices)
Ground Pepper
Spring onions
Milk two TBS of powder milk.
Eggs three large eggs
Vegetable Oil for greasing the pan. You can use butter but I don't like the outcome of this with butter. So I use oil..


Pics 1
Cut out the inner part of the bread so you have only the ring left as shown in pics. ( Make una manage the jagajaga picture). Set aside

Pics 2
Combine the egg and other ingredients together. Add little salt.

Pic 3
Grease the pan with little oil. On a very low heat
Put the bread ring in the greased pan and add two spoons of egg mixture or as much as it can take inside the ring.
Allow to dry a bit.

Pics 4
When it's slightly dry, cover the top with the cut out piece. Press down gently to lock in the egg mix. And allow to dry.
