FalseProphet1: So you want me to cut off what makes me a man? That's harsh
I know that you're an obanje that's why I want to know more about you. To know the frequency you operate on because I might know people in that frequency.
Lol. I'm not harsh.
The Bible said "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell" - Matthew 5:29-30
Okortor: Useless gender. I've told guy's, once you feel Hot, kindly get an overnight hookup girl for payoff than wasting effort on relationship that will only lead to more problems with financial drainage.
Lol.
It is quite amusing that a married man is advising singles to patronize hôôkers instead of investing into a healthy relationship.
This doesn't tell well of your marital life, if really you're married.
And also, as a man, it is quite irresponsible to openly brag that you've been a cheat for decades without getting caught.
I believe you should be in your 30s or 40s, bragging online about you being a cheat is VERY TACKY.
Farfalla: How does one describe a taste or smell? Lol! To me saffron threads brewed in hot water tastes something like wild/unrefined honey or like flower nectar (My siblings and I would suck nectar out of flowers as kids so I'm kinda familiar with that taste).
I also feel it distinctively smells like a type of flower when brewed in hot water. I never pick any notable taste when put in rice, but saffron threads do make bland white foods colourful.
Oh, you go find a good restaurant and get yourself that kebab. Kenyans have massacred that dish. You should see what they call 'kebab'.
Kenyan tea is one of the best in the world. It's even exported all over the world. But many Kenyans like to brew tea with no spices at all. No cardamom. No cinnamon. No ginger. No lime. Nothing. Just that particular taste of tea is what they crave for. My stubborn father is a good example. He even has his own milk:water:tea leaves ratio and each item follows a strict order in which it's added to the pot. I'm the only one who can handle his "little ways" whenever he comes over to my home. Even his tilapia has to be prepared in a certain way. Anyway, my old man's story is for another day. I can write a book about him.
Glad to share, but don't get surprised whenever I don't respond to your mention(s) sooner. Sometimes I "disappear" out of Nairaland to answer certain calls of duty.
Omggggggggg!!!!! I thought I was the ONLY weird child in the world that used to suck the nectar out of flowers. There was one flower plant in my house that suffered in my hands as a child, I sucked the living daylight out of it. It was so SWEET! But I later got a pollen allergy from the flower and my father cut down the plant down to its stem. I legit cried.
But it's good to know I wasn't the only one who sucked nectar as a child. I wasn't weird after all.
I now know how saffron threads taste like. Looking forward to it some day.
Hahahaha what do Kenyans call kebab. I'd like to see it. 😂😂
Had no idea Kenya tea is one of the best. Good to hear that, we do learn everyday.
Nigerians are the worst, we call hot chocolate "tea".
What type of tea do you like? Green tea? Lavender tea? Ginger tea?
Lol. I think old people like sticking to ways that are familiar to them. I won't blame your papa that much.🤣
Nahhhh! No offense taken at all. We all have lives outside of Nairaland (except trolls) so you can respond at your convenient time.
kkins25: No allow, our holier than thou brethren a hear that one. First salary belongs to pastor, since na only pastor get direct connection to God. Hmmmm... Shambala labasha....m... Hmmmmm.... I can feel the power of the holy ghost...
Virgo01: Oh, alright, thank you so much for the update. I believe his silence is because posting has not started yet. And yes, they haven't even given admissions yet. Thank you so much. I'll contact you as soon as admissions are given, I believe that preceeds posting, right?
Thank you very much once again.
Thank you.
Yes cos the radio silence is deafening.
Certainly, admission precedes posting.
Hopefully when admission starts, the officer must have given feedback.
I understand that the current set of NLS students will soon leave the various campuses for externship. I believe NLS will then focus fully on the backlog set.
Ceenachi: E b like say na only me notice one black boy who so much interested in the music. His emotions, reaction, everything na top notch. I no sure say E go sabi book
You can't really use his love for music to determine his intelligence. Music is an expression of feeling.
I was worse in secondary school, had a music book that I always carried about and did rap with my classmates. I wasn't dùll.
I still carry that emotion anytime I play music I vibe to.
Besides, "Lonely at the top" is an addictive song.
Their food is spicy, but not hot chilli spicy. They use warm spices - cardamom, ginger, cumin and sometimes unique spices like saffron and rose water. I don't have a particular favourite dish but their kabsa rice and chicken dish is something I'd eat for life. Then there's another rice and mutton dish I had in one Arab restaurant. The chef just said that the secret was in the smoked rice and refused to diverge anything else . Though it did taste like every ingredient was smoked.
Don't get me started on their biryiani and pilau (which have both been adopted by East Africans). They cook it better by far.
Then there's their tea and coffee. They just don't give you normal Kenyan tea . They'll put fresh mint, lime, cloves, honey and cardamom. And their coffees must have cardamom and/or ginger.
As for their desserts and pastries, I kinda have my reservations. They are usually too sweet and addictive. They love those sugar syrup and peanut or sesame candies. Or sometimes they mix that syrup with coconut flakes. I really wouldn't advise anyone who loves their heart to even attempt to go near them. Addictive, with ZERO nutritional value.
All in all, I've never taken anything bland in an Arab restaurant.
Thank you!
Niceeeee. I love ginger, garlic and spices in general. How does saffron taste or smell like? I have read so many benefits about this spice, fell in love, that I named my diary "Colour me saffron".
Oh wow. I like seeing their food on social media though. Always looking colourful and spicy. There's this kebap dish I'm looking forward to trying one day. I have added kabsa rice and chicken dish to my To-eat list, courtesy of you.
I like Arabian tea though. It is nice.
Hahaha what happened to Kenya tea? Gist me.😂
Oh No!! I don't like pastries/desserts that are TOO SWEET.
Thank you for sharing your Arabian restaurant experience.
