I love cooking. I remember when I was little when they were asking children what they wanted to be; Tunde said doctor, Evelyn said Accountant, me I stood up proudly and said I wanted to be a cook.

My mom promptly slapped that destiny away from my life. Now I'm studying books similar to tunde's.

But I've never lost my love for cooking. Recently I took my babe over to sizzlers for a quick lunch. We bought one kind rice I think it was called Jamaican fried rice. Paid one kind amount like that for it. I was like:
Shuo. For rice? This thing I can make at home?

My girl was like :
Chill out baby. Let's eat.

Am like eating and grumbling:
Ees not even sweet sef...

My girl was like hmmmm and quipped:
Oya make your own na let's see!

So I took up the challenge.

I have never made fried rice in my life talkless of Jamaican or is it Brazilian but I snapped the pic of the food and went home determined to defend my cooking honour. I studied the picture and went to the market to get a few things I could see 'floating' around in the sizzlers rice. Came back and started to cook.

The last pic is the result of my endeavours. What do you think, did I win the challenge?

I boiled the rice separately in chicken broth and curry, then added it to my vegetables.

Final product!

But forgot to add one vital ingredient can u guess what it is?

I corrected myself with the second batch and added it.
