agathamari, when i read your topic, it reminded me of my own story. Im from another african country and was married to a nigerian man. He would use cultural differences to justify his meanness and dishonesty. I will not go into the details but i will tell you that, that man tried to make my life and the live of my relatives a living hell. But God is good. Run while you can . learn to differenciate a good man from a bad one no matter the country he comes from. I learned the hard way.

riri takes it. that girl can wear anything. Beyonce hardly ever get it right.

if you eat any cheese made in america you are more likely to end up hating cheese. the same goes for chocolate and fine pastries.

guten abend
wie geht's ihnen?
ich spreche ein wenig
Ich lernte deutsch in dem gymnasium vor lange zeit
lol thats about all i remember

you need to go there to know how beautiful they are indeed.

thanks Mukina for posting

where ru guys hiding?

this is a greek recipe. since I have had it at a friend's house, I'm kind of obssessed with it. 

serving: 2 persons

ingredients

2 pork chops
4 potatoes
1 lemon
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
freshly ground black pepper
salt
oregane (fresh or dry)


peel your potatoes and cut then in 2 bite size cubes.  place the pork chop on a oven pan and place the potatoes around the meat. mix olive oil, the juice of the lemon, black pepper, oregano, crushed garlic and salt. Pour this mixture over the potatos and the meat. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 375 for 1 hour. Then remove cover and drizzle a little olive oil, sprinkle oregano again. set the broiler until everything is brown (it should only take a few minutes), keep an eye on it so that it does not burn.

side dish: a salad made of: romaine, green peppers, calamata olives, fennel, and tomatos, drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

don't forget to toast a very fine bread. eg. italian or french bread.

you can also try this recipe with lamb.

salut
ou est que vous vous cachez tous?
bon allez revenez   

@QueenAnais, j'ai pas de reponse a ta question mais esperons que les autres vont refaire surface.

NOVEMBER 5TH ETIQUETTE
or how to behave tomorrow

there will be a some people (some of our co-workers included) who will be afraid that an Obama presidency will usher in the end of days. They'll be watching us on November 5th (the day after the election) for signs of the end
times.
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think
we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations and behaviors we
should probably avoid - at least for the first few days:
1. No crying, hugging or shouting 'Thank you Lord' - at least not
in public
2 No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and
there are no witnesses
3 No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters
4 No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too
many of us don't show up.
5 We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in
passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
6. No singing loudly, We've come this Far By Faith (it will be
acceptable to hum softly)
7. No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the
company lunchroom for at least a week (no chittlings at all) (this may
make us seem too ethnic)
8. No leaving kool-aid packages at the water fountain (this might
be a sign that poor folks might be getting a break through)
9. No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could indicate a little
too much excitement)
10. Please no Moving on Up music (we are going to try to remain
humble)
11. No doing the George Jefferson dance (unless you're in your
office with the door closed)
12. Please try not to yell----BOOOO YAH!
13. Just in case you're wondering, doing the Running Man, cabbage
patch, or a backhand spring on the highway is 100% okay.
If I've missed anything feel free to add to the list. I just want to
make sure we're all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home
on November 5th.

my alltime favorite are vietnamese Nems with a good nuoc mam.
i love love these

https://mescoupsdecoeur.m.e.pic.centerblog.net/32blwk1v.jpg

couscous with merguez saussage

same for me, I just freeze them. or a make this pepper sauce:
blend them with fresh tomato, a small onion and a small cube of maggi. then I sautee a teaspoon of tomatoe paste in a tiny bit of oil, then add the blend. let it sautee together for a few minute in a closed pot. because if you open it, you know whats gonna happen to your nose and eyes! then if you want you can add a few drops of white vinegar.

dessert:

slice a bunch of ripe strawberries, mix with a plain yoghurt. add sugar to your taste. serve on martini glasses and top with whipped cream and a a leaf of mint for decoration.

that chinese people dont like blacks (not just nigerians) is not new.
I read a blog written by a guy from cameroon who studied in China. what I read blew my mind. You dont have to be illegal in China to be in Danger. in most cases, you just have to be black.

basic crepe recipe

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Add to Recipe Box
My folders:

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.


my twist: add a few drops of vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg to the batter, it makes it so much better.
then when you finich making the crepes, if you're a chocolate person like me, you can spread nutella before folding them. and add a scoop of ice scream on top. the flavor is your choice. I use the Häagen-Dazs mango. my family loves them!

hmmmmm . . . . . O'Reilly is not to be messed with. . . .that guy can trip people up easily. . . if I was Obama, I would steer well clear of FOX News. . . . they don't even sound like a News Network. . . everytime I watch FOX, I feel I am watching Tabloid TV. . . .if CNN and NBC are biased toward the democrats, at least CNN and NBC are respected Worldwide as fair and concise news channels , whilst FOX News is viewed as a[b] joke[/b]. Their biased propaganda is obvious to any viewer.

I think CNN is pretty fair to both parties. it just does not make sense to support the republicans in this time and day.

interesting

@urues
hello,
im chocolate too, and I prefer the dove beauty bar, unscented for sensitive skin. its mild and it works wonderful for me. I guess you just have to try both to see which one works best for you. if you want to maintain your color, avoid products that have too much fragrance. also, use a cream with sun screen. I use Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 45, Untinted. For my body, Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is my favourite, im just in love with it. I have tried other lotions but i always go back to aveeno.

bigboyslim:
Please does anyone have the recipe for fried rice and the directions. I try to make it but never get it right. All suggestions would be appreciated.

maybe this link can help  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-93232.0.html

this is what I cooked today (i made the white version, cooked the same way but without tomato paste)


rice and fish   
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/thiebou-dienn-sous-verre-senegalese-rice-and-fish-stew-recipe/index.html
http://www.congocookbook.com/rice_recipes/ceebu_jen.html

4 tablespoons peanut oil
2 large onions, minced
3-inch piece smoked fish (guedge or yete if possible)
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
9 cups slightly salted cold water
1 bunch parsley, trimmed
2 large cloves garlic
1 fresh bird chile
2 scallions
3 pounds sea bass tail, cleaned and cut into steaks 1 1/2 inches thick
1/2 pound calabaza, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1/2 pound sweet cassava, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
5 small purple turnips, quartered
1 small green cabbage, cut into eighths
4 sweet potatoes, quartered
2 small eggplants, cut into 1-inch slices
5 carrots, scraped and cut into chunks
12 small okra pods, washed and topped and tailed (any hard pods discarded)
1 habanero chile, pricked with a fork
2 pounds broken rice

Heat the oil in a large stockpot and brown the onion. Add the smoked fish, the tomato paste, and 1/4 cup of the salted water. While the onion mixture is browning, prepare the stuffing for the sea bass steaks by placing the parsley, garlic, chile, and scallions in a food processor and pulsing until they form a thick paste. When the paste is ready, score the sea bass steaks and poke the stuffing into the slits.
Place the sea bass in the stockpot with the onion mixture, allow it to cook for 5 minutes, and add the remaining water. When the fish mixture comes to a boil, cover the pot, lower the heat, and add the vegetables in the order given, finishing off with the pricked habanero chile, which you will remove (and reserve) when the thiebou dienn is spicy enough for you. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the sea bass steaks keeping them whole, and place them on a serving platter. Cover them with a bit of the cooking liquid, and keep them warm.
Continue cooking the thiebou dienn for an additionaly 15 minutes, then remove the vegetables and arrange them on a platter and keep them warm. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid to make the sauces. Return the remaining liquid to a boil, add the rice, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done.
While the rice is cooking, pulverize the habanero chile that you have reserved and add it to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Heat it, stirring occasionally, and place it in a sauceboat. Heat the remaining cup of reserved cooking liquid and place it in a separate sauceboat. This will give you a regular sauce and a fiery hot one.

tips: before you add the rice to the stew (remaining liquid), you can steam it first: add a little watter to it and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes. then add it to the stew  to cook in it.
you can also use king fish instead of sea bass.

you

@Cayon     (hug back)
thanks for your recipes too!

If, like me, you love to bake or try foreign recipes, this is very useful converting tool
http://www.traditionaloven.com/conversions_of_measures/butter_converter.html
on the right side you can find flower and sugar conversions.

thanks for the tip.
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with Helioplex SPF 45 works really well.

@nigeria1@@
if you look at it that way, its less gloomy.

MCsame done well well. its a trategic pic but more so, the perfect day to make his annoucement. the media are focussed on him now, and not obama's historic speech that was gonna be the talk of the trimester, if not century. something had to divert the media. so now the reps wont have to do the most embarrassing, meaning: finding no flaws in Obama's speech, and having to admit that it is indeed hard not to succomb to Barrack. lol what a move for the mcsame, a gamble as far as im concerned.
the only thing that worries me are the frustrated cougars supporting hillary, like the cry baby who was interviewed, after hillary's speech, saying she might not vote at all. I wanted to slap her.

@spikedcylinder Im in love with all of them 
u sure have some good taste
