Longneck:
I was thinking of getting the Range Rover Evoque 2013 model
But I just need y'all suggestion before I finally get a car
Please recommend a good car for me
Or do you think I should go ahead and get the Range Rover instead

DON'T!

Listen to everything nurey said

Tonight was a taste of Louisiana with some good ol' Creole dishes. Shrimp Etoufee with Blackened Grouper and homemade garlic bread. I used wheat bread because of hubby and shrimp broth and Creole seasoning that I make in bulk and freeze.

Silentgroper:
looks like bread and beans to me ..

Quick question, you a chef??

Never thought of that but it kinda does lol. Nope, but I have trained some. I'm just a chick who likes to feed people. I do own a restaurant though.

Came home early still still feeling energized from the long weekend so....

Thai Basil-mint Chicken, Spicy Pepper Beef, Garlicky Broccoli and Shrimp Fried Rice. Almost did another dish but thank God I didn't because motivation almost ran out

I must have missed where it said you must only cook Naija food... in Naija... and don't talk about non food purchases from food stores... and don't be too Nigerian.. or not Nigerian enough... at the same time.. and never post pictures but always criticize those who do... and make sure someone lives rent free in your head

Also, how do you japa to your own country

Lastly, to stop derailment by some people who have problems processing information no matter how many times it's given to them...

Even the Cetaphil & Aveeno, Costco has a great deal on the triple pack.

Oya let me come and be going. O shey Costco rep. They’re not paying me o 🤭. But I love a good deal

as in... Lol

cococandy:
Oh I forgot to add. If you use medical grade skincare, Costco will save you hundreds of dollars on monthly basis depending on how often you need to refill your skincare. I use Dr Obagi and I used to pay at my aesthetician’s office without knowing how much I was losing until I discovered Costco sells them too. The difference is a lot. The chaos is worth it 🫢

Now I just get my facials at their office and buy the skincare they recommend from Costco.
Big difference.

Pic1) First time I ordered from Costco versus

Pic2) the manufacturer price which is what most of them will charge you before tax. After tax, almost $500.

Sam's does it too but I don't know who's better. Hopefully your post helps someone

Kobojunkiee:
Oh. Neat! I was wondering about where you get to purchase all of that in Nigeria.

I posted before. I don't go grocery shopping because I'm lazy. I order produce from Jos, get my breakfast meats from Artisan Meats, Nigerian stuff from Price Pally and fish from The Fish Shop. Everything is available here in Nigeria. Honorable mentions, Globus in Ikota and Optimal Seafood brings seafood from the boats to me. And all at great prices.

cococandy:
oh that sounds nice. I might get a seasonal pass and compare if they offer that.

One more thing. Costco gives me cash back around my renewal time. Like in the summer I get back around $200-$250 in rewards which I use to pay my membership (I have the black card). So basically I’d say the membership is free at this point, that’s why I’m loyal. Does Sam’s offer anything similar?

Stumbled across this

Kobojunkiee:
How many of the cooking images are from when you are in Nigeria?

since February 20th, all

Kobojunkiee:
So you don't live in Nigeria?

I come and go. Live in both countries. Right now, Nigeria.

Dinner is Jamaican curry chicken with rice & peas and steamed broccoli.

yup! Sam's has cashback rewards! Also, all you need is the $45 membership from Sam's. I have the $100 one for business that comes with more perks not you really don't need it.

Another Sunday, another Edikanyikang. Chicken, crab and lobster today

cococandy:
That’s similar to Costco prices of nowadays too

But they are always big on Quality and quantity so I guess it’s worth it?

Inflation is not our friend 😕

Sam's is way cheaper. This is still the same price from December today. I usually buy the 21-30 count raw headless $15.799-17.99 for 3 lbs. If I want colossal, I go to the Asians for $2 more per pound

pretydiva:
This looks beautiful and yummy

And easy too, especially the shrimp! Thank you

cococandy:
I like winco just as well. I’ve only shopped at Sam’s once a long time ago so I’m not sure what kind of variety they have compared to Costco but you might be right.

I had both Sam's and Costco. I find Sam's to be better. Better prices, larger quantities. Costco has variety but never at the same location. Prices higher because everything's "organic" or "gluten free". Everything impossible to find and it's chaos in there. Even the people at the store don't know where things are from day to day because pallets are just dropped where there is space on delivery day lol. Never heard of WinCo. Must be an up north thing like BJs?

cococandy:
If you have a Costco, they sell them all the time. Huge bags of them.

I'm not there right now . Have 3 bags in the freezer there. I used to get them from Sam's but now Sam's is a backup if Sun's wholesale (the Asian wholesale store) doesn't have them. Better prices and fresher. I stay STRAPPED with the crustaceans LoL .

TheWinterBird:
I can't wait to get home and do justice to these beautiful thangs that I bought yesterday. Large, cooked black tiger shrimps on the left and colossal raw black tiger shrimps on the right; $38.99 and $18.99 respectively. I wonder if I was born in the sea with the way I love seafood. 😂😂😂

I miss being able to get this so easily. There's been a scarcity since December for the good stuff. Whatcha makin

Stir fried fish and salt and pepper shrimp.

Wow... wasn't on here for a couple of days and it looks like a bunch of bombs went off..

Shepherd's pie and 14 year old made the cornbread.

havilla:
Pounder yam and eforiro, sorry it looks messy, but it was yummy!

the best meals usually are. I'll take substance over style with food any day!

Baby been asking for waffles all week. Finally got some time to cook breakfast. She's "proud of you Mummy"

Praise from the most important critic in the world and I passed!!

Sirqt5:
grandma, do dey have salmon na his question . make una post am for thread then let him see make him go look. d way u dey form upandan for thread like say u american is serious granny . U r in Naija, post Naija food . imagine calling fries n breaded fish british chips ohh gawd lwnkmd . abroad folks dey for thread quietly nobody dey behave like u wey dey naija

It must be tiring being such a hateful yet ignorant person. British style and breaded are two completely different things. Here is some attention. Should last you about a month. As for the other nonsense you said, those who know, know lol.

Now get back to yumming stuff you don't understand

Southern smothered chicken with cornbread and buttery peas. Hubby didn't have rice but the rest of us did

Caaz:
Breakfast
Boiled egg
Dodo
Redoil stew

nice

British fish and chips with minty peas, twice-fried French fries and homemade tartar sauce.

wonyi:
Thanks bro. I checked, it's all over lagos and the shop is not in port harcourt.

aww. Sorry, didn't even think about outside Lagos.

Bintdawood:
Meat pie😄😄

wow! These look like beef patties! Nice.

wonyi:
Lovely...someday I will try Salmon. It seems we don't have it in Nigeria? I have never seen it in a cold room

The Fish Shop, Lekki phase 1 is the one I get stuff like that from but they have locations all over. Very reasonable prices on all sorts of seafood.

https://thefishshop.com.ng/retail-shop-locations/

Chicken noodle soup and cornbread.

New breakfast idea for the restaurant. Plantain waffles with sardine eggs and avocado!
