We know men are stronger than women and have more endurance but does that matter? A game is a game and everyone plays to win. Women win their games, Men win theirs. So no one is really better than anyone.
Am I wrong? What do you think?

Thanks for sharing.

I hope you enjoyed Part 1

I'm back with more reasons why your Jollof rice does not come out right. who's ready?

1. You are not using enough oil. I know you don't like it when your rice has too much oil when it's ready, but for the sake of frying your tomato paste and blend, you will need to use enough oil. You can always reduce the oil before you add your rice. We talked about properly frying your paste in the last post and you need enough oil for that to happen.

2. You are overthinking your seasoning.
add your seasoning in moderation. don't overthink it. Invest in some bay leaves. It adds a nice touch of flavor to the dish.

3. You put too much water in your rice. Especially those of you that cook in high heat. When you put too much water, the rice reduces in flavor, color, and taste. plus the high heat that makes it dry without properly cooking and then you add even more water.
My advice. start with moderate water and use medium heat to make it cook properly. invest in some foil paper; this helps trap the steam in the rice so it cooks even better.

I hope this helps.
and don't forget to check out my favorite Chinese restaurant Shu Garden located at Ikeja GRA. Thank me later.
Let me know which one you will be improving on in the comments.

bye.

and you cook it the exact same way?? haha.. jollof rice can be tricky to make. i get that

1Sharon:
My jellof rice is either hit or miss

Hello, thanks for the question . when it fries well, it usually starts looking like bread crumbs (tiny pieces), fry for at least 10 mins and your fire should be on medium heat not high heat if not it'll be burning unnecessary. Hope this helps

Kobojunkie:
Abeg, explain this a lot better. What does frying it very well mean? For how long should one fry it to be certain it is well fried? What do you do when the paste starts to burn when frying?

Do you feel like whenever you cook Jollof rice, It just doesn't come out right?
Here are 3 things you may not be doing that makes it not come out well.

1. your Tomato to Tatashe to onion ratio is not right
Do you even bother to use tatashe? well, tatashe is important. secondly, the tatashe should be more than the tomato. and use enough onions (don't manage onions). trust me.

2. You don't let it burn.
I did not say to turn it to black jollof o. just don't remove it immediately the water dries up. Let it stay for a few more minutes. Let the paste enter well

3. You are not frying the paste well.
My brother, my sister are you scared of frying your paste? Do you see that tomato paste?, fry it very well before you add the tomato/tatashe/onion blend. and allow it to fry well too.

Fine dining is a type of restaurant experience that is typically characterized by its high-end atmosphere, sophisticated cuisine, and top-notch service. It is a style of dining that is meant to be a luxurious and memorable experience, often reserved for special occasions and celebrations.

At a fine dining restaurant, you can expect to find a refined and elegant ambiance, with attention paid to every detail, from the decor and table settings to the lighting and music. The atmosphere is often intimate, with a low noise level, allowing for easy conversation and an overall sense of exclusivity.

One of the most defining features of fine dining is the cuisine. The dishes are typically created using high-quality, fresh ingredients, and are often prepared using complex techniques and methods. The presentation of the dishes is also an important aspect of the fine dining experience, with each dish artfully arranged and designed to be visually appealing.
Service is another critical aspect of fine dining. The staff is highly trained and knowledgeable, with an emphasis placed on professionalism and attention to detail. Expect to have a dedicated server who will guide you through the menu, answer any questions you may have, and ensure that your dining experience is a memorable one.

When it comes to the dress code, fine dining restaurants often require formal attire, such as suits, dresses, or other formal wear. It is always a good idea to check the restaurant's dress code policy before making a reservation.

Fast food places and regular restaurants are two different types of food establishments, each with its own unique characteristics.

One of the main differences between fast food places and regular restaurants is the Speed of service. Fast food places are designed to provide quick service to customers who are on the go. Customers can order their food quickly and easily, and often receive their food in just a few minutes. In contrast, regular restaurants typically take longer to prepare and serve food. Customers are encouraged to take their time, enjoy their meals, and socialize with others.

Another difference between fast food places and regular restaurants is the Quality of the food. Fast food places typically offer a limited menu with pre-made items that are designed to be quick and easy to prepare. In contrast, regular restaurants usually have a more extensive menu with a greater emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The food at regular restaurants is often prepared to order, ensuring that it is fresh and flavorful.

Finally, there is a difference in the price between fast food places and regular restaurants. Fast food places are known for their affordability, with many items on the menu costing just a few dollars. Regular restaurants, on the other hand, are typically more expensive.

In conclusion, both fast food places and regular restaurants have their own unique characteristics. Fast food places are designed for quick service and affordability, while regular restaurants offer a more leisurely dining experience with higher quality food and a higher price point. When choosing between the two, it is important to consider your needs and preferences to determine which option is best for you.

What is a restaurant or fast food place you love to visit?

A good restaurant experience is one that leaves a positive and lasting impression on the customer. It is an experience that goes beyond just good food; it involves a combination of factors such as ambiance, service, and overall atmosphere. A good restaurant experience is one where the customer feels comfortable, well-cared for, and satisfied with their meal.

The ambiance is an important aspect of a good restaurant experience. The environment should be inviting, aesthetically pleasing, and clean. The decor should match the theme of the restaurant and create a comfortable atmosphere for the customer. The lighting, background music, and overall atmosphere should be conducive to relaxation and enjoyment.

Service is another crucial factor in a good restaurant experience. The staff should be welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They should be able to offer recommendations, answer any questions the customer may have, and provide an overall positive experience.

The quality of the food is, of course, a critical component of a good restaurant experience. The food should be fresh, well-prepared, and presented beautifully. The flavors should be balanced, and the portion sizes should be appropriate. The menu should offer a variety of options to cater to different preferences and dietary needs.

Finally, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant should be enjoyable. Customers should be able to relax and enjoy their meals without feeling rushed or uncomfortable. The restaurant should be well-maintained, and the staff should be attentive to the needs of their customers.

In summary, a good restaurant experience is one that creates a positive and lasting impression on the customer. It involves a combination of factors such as ambiance, service, quality of food, and overall atmosphere that work together to create an enjoyable and satisfying dining experience.
