Store bought, but oven baked at home

Snack time

Ingredients

Fresh fish, I really so not know the name of the fish
Okro( Diced)
Very little onions ( use this basically to give the palm oil flavour)
Fresh pepper
Seasoning
Curry leave

Wash the fish
Put the fish in the pot and season, I use maggi cubes, onga classic,( I really like onga classic, gives soups a unique taste) salt and pepper.

When the fish is done, now I said done as I can't tell exactly how long it will take to cook, different burners etc so done is when I can tell mine is done.

On a separate pot, 'bleach' your palm oil, that's a process where you allow the oil in the pot on fire for a while till almost all the bubbles that will show up dissapear, pour in your onions, very little onions and diced so tiny you can't spot it in the soup, cause usually I don't cook soup with onions.

Stir the onions for a while, I stir it till I get the aroma of the onions, then add fresh pepper and stir for about 30 seconds, then add my diced okro to the mix, stir for another 30 seconds depending on the quantity of your okro

After that I poured the contents. Which is the fried okro in palm oil with onions and fresh pepper into the pot with steamed fresh fish, at this point I add water to the level I want. I like my okro thick, so if you like your okro watery you add more water.

And season to taste.
Add the freshly cut curry leave and turn off the burner.
Usually when boiling fish I use very little water so that the fish absorbs the seasoning.

Serve with whatever sides you like. I just love to lick soups most of the time.

Hope that helps.

Rapmoney:
So you mean a man will marry a lady who is a medical doctor or one who is into exportation of some commodities even before marriage and force her to sit at home? I don't think that's possible. Read the post again. I'm talking about the status of the woman even before marriage; she needs to be engaged and productive even before marriage.

100 percent possible. I have seen a case of a medical Dr.

Dear All,

Kindly need your advise, my cousin needs to visit the US sometimes in January 2016 to return mid March 2016, but her visa is expected to expire ending of February 2016.

Purpose isn't birthing. Would you advise she applies for dropbox now or is it possible for her to travel and return back in March to apply for her renewal.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Mine was to expire in Dec, I applied via drop box in October due to my travel plans, so in my opinion its advisable to renew to avoid issues.

[quote author=missusadey post=40515950]I was told Walmart's parents choice diapers is better than huggies and pampers. I dnt know how true that is. Has anyone tried it out?[/quo\

I was using Pampers in US, got back and at some point my diaper finished and I needed some before the ones we where expecting arrived, so I got huggies, but my sister introduced us to parents choice, it was more affordable, and I was happy it was a good product and my daughter did not react to it.

I think the child reacting to it matters a lot. But it is a good product. In comparism to huggies and pampers, I do not see a difference.

shawlar:
I'm not sure I understand this your story oh.... but I'm think you have gone 4 birthing once and now want to go for anoda.. - (sharp-sharp ) but you r concerned about renewing ur visa. However, since you say u declared the pregnancy and sent the change of intent letter to the embassy, I don't think you'll have any difficultly with renewal - as long as you can show that u paid all your bills.

Drop box renewal does not require any additional documents other than your international passport, application print out, ds 160 confirmation page and your passport photograph, so the issue of showing she paid her bills will not be required except she is invited to the embassy.
