Ay! Maybe it's time I took a break because I'm going brain dead! I had Omoge making our Nairaland Gurasa instead of you. On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing seeing as you and I are not the patient type and Omoge seems to be. Let's see if I can talk her into doing it. . . .

Soooooo, Omoge, Omoge. . . what do you say, eh? Will you carry this cross for us? I mean do the mixing, wait for it to rise, roll it, bake it and we eat it? Awww, thanks

You don't get angry? You don't deliberately look for trouble. . . . You don't say things you don't mean just to see how he'll react and when he blows his top, you fall on the floor laughing? You don't. . . ever?

Who are you and how do you have fun in the relationship? 

Some Republican supporters were interviewed after a rally in Ohio by Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin. (not the most unbiased interview but. . . . )

– “I’m afraid if he wins, the Black will take over.”

– “When you’ve got a Negro running for President, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

– “He seems like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I believe Palin is filled with the Holy Spirit and I believe she’s going to bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”

– “He must support terrorists. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me, is Obama.”

– “Just the whole Muslim thing. A lot of people forgot about 9/11. I don’t know, it’s just a little unnerving.”

– “Obama and his wife. I’m afraid they could be anti-White.”

– “I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash. Because we’re not!”

McCain, Obama get tough, personal in final debate

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - John McCain assailed Barack Obama's character and his campaign positions on taxes, abortion and more Wednesday night, hoping to turn their final presidential debate into a launching pad for a political comeback. "You didn't tell the American people the truth," he said.

Unruffled, and ahead in the polls, Obama parried each charge, and leveled a few of his own.

"One hundred percent, John, of your ads, 100 percent of them have been negative," Obama shot back in an uncommonly personal debate less than three weeks from Election Day.

"It's not true," McCain retorted.

"It is true," said Obama, seeking the last word.

McCain is currently running all negative ads, according to a study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But he has run a number of positive ads during the campaign.

The 90-minute encounter, at a round table at Hofstra University, was their third debate, and marked the beginning of a 20-day sprint to Election Day. Obama leads in the national polls and in surveys in many battleground states, an advantage built in the weeks since the nation stumbled into the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression.

With few exceptions, the campaign is being waged in states that voted Republican in 2004 — Virginia, Colorado, Iowa — and in many of them, Obama holds a lead in the polls.

McCain played the aggressor from the opening moments of the debate, accusing Obama of waging class warfare by seeking tax increases that would "spread the wealth around."

The Arizona senator also demanded to know the full extent of Obama's relationship with William Ayers, a 1960s-era terrorist and the Democrat's ties with ACORN, a liberal group accused of violating federal law as it seeks to register voters. And he insisted Obama disavow last week's remarks by Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat, who accused the Republican ticket of playing racial politics along the same lines as segregationists of the past.

Struggling to escape the political drag of an unpopular Republican incumbent, McCain also said, "Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. ,  You wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago."

Obama returned each volley, and brushed aside McCain's claim to full political independence.

"If I've occasionally mistaken your policies for George Bush's policies, it's because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people — on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities — you have been a vigorous supporter of President Bush," he said.

McCain's allegation that Obama had not leveled with the public involved the Illinois senator's decision to forgo public financing for his campaign in favor of raising his own funds. As a result, he has far outraised McCain, although the difference has been somewhat neutralized by an advantage the Republican National Committee holds over the Democratic Party.

"He signed a piece of paper" earlier in the campaign pledging to accept federal financing, McCain said. He added that Obama's campaign has spent more money than any since Watergate, a reference to President Nixon's re-election, a campaign that later became synonymous with scandal.

Obama made no immediate response to McCain's assertion about having signed a pledge to accept federal campaign funds.

Asked about running mates, both presidential candidates said Democrat Joseph Biden was qualified to become president, although McCain added this qualifier: "in many respects."

McCain passed up a chance to say his own running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was qualified to sit in the Oval Office, though he praised her performance as governor and noted her work on behalf of special needs children. The Palins have a son born earlier this year with Down Syndrome.

Obama sidestepped when asked about Palin's qualifications to serve as president, and he, too, praised her advocacy for special needs children.

But he quickly sought to turn the issue to his advantage by noting McCain favors a spending freeze on government programs.

"I do want to just point out that autism, for example, or other special needs will require some additional funding if we're going to get serious in terms of research. ,  And if we have an across-the-board spending freeze, we're not going to be able to do it," he said

I don't think I've heard of this. What's it made of?

Anyway, I was looking all over for the pix of Gurasa but couldn't find any, so I'm talking to my sister and she says try Khubz, which is Arab bread. . . apparently, they are the same thing.

I looked at the ingredients and it seems to be for real. . . don't hold me to that ooooh

iceblue:
anyone got pics of the kuka tree?? still the weirdest i've ever seen. we had one really big tree near our corpers lodge. gave me the creeps walking past it. plus there was a mad man in the town reputed to have lost it after climbing the tree. didn't eat the soup till i moved to Jos, then promptly fell in love with the soup

The Kuka Tree also known as Monkey bread tree also know as the Boabab tree is African’s weirdest. . . grotesque looking tree.  The baobab looks like it has been picked out of the ground and stuffed back in upside-down. 

I'm not going to lie, I can't look at the tree for too long, it gives me goosebumps

Awww! Omoge, you miss Gurasa. Okay how about making it? I promise you, it’s really easy.

Ingredients for 4 - 6 people (don’t hold me to it ooh)

3 cups of Flour
1 cup of Warm water.
2 table spoon of Yeast
1 table spoon of Salt/sugar (whichever you prefer)
Sesame seeds (optional)



Mix the flour with water, yeast and salt or sugar.

Let the dough sit until it rises, usually takes 3-5hrs. (this is the part that kills me, I have ADD when it comes to cooking. If it takes longer that 20 mins, count me out)

Divide the dough into desired portion

Roll it into balls (use your hand for authentic feel and taste)*

Press each ball unto an ungreased baking pan

Bake for 8 to 10 min in 350 degrees oven.

If you want to add sesame seeds, do it before baking. Just sprinkle it at the top. . . No biggie.

* Shei, you know I was just joking about the hand giving it authentic feel and taste right? LMAO. . . It’s a running joke in my house, like my sister will say wash the beans for Kosai with hands for authentic taste and people nod their heads because they think it’s supposed to be a traditional delicacy and it must come with some kind of zen way to prepare. Don’t mind me I’m just blabbing right now.

Let us know how it turns out, who knows maybe soon you’ll stand your own Nairaland Bakery. . . We’ll call it GURASA BY OMOGE.

It goes hand in hand with wanting it Sizzling hoottttttttttttttttttt!!!

Rotflmao@ Endurance, perseverance and patience.

Yep, the measure of a woman is in her ability to bear prolonged hardship, her determined continuation with suffering and her capacity to wait for the situation to change.

In other parts of the world, this describes A FOOL, A MUGU, AN ODE, A slowpoke, A BRAINLESS TWIT but for Nigerians it is a Good Wife!
