Na so...respect to you

The Nigerian Army on Monday countered a United Nations agency over the casualty from a Boko Haram raid.
The World Food Programme, WFP, an agency of the UN had said its driver and his assistant were among four people killed when Boko Haram attacked food trucks despite military escort.
In an email to PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday, the WFP also said food trucks were taken to an unknown destination by the insurgents.
The army on Monday morning initially denied the killing of civilians in the coordinated attack, but later confirmed the killing of four civilians. It, however, said it was not aware they were staff of the WFP.
Rogers Nicholas, the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, in an SMS to the News Agency of Nigeria gave the army’s initial position.
Mr. Nicholas, a major general, said that the troops escorting the trucks had killed six insurgents and recovered weapons.
He claimed there were no civilian casualties in the attack, adding that he was at Dikwa when the incident occurred.
“There was an ambush but the soldiers killed six Boko Haram insurgents and recovered weapons. No civilian was killed.
“I was in Dikwa that Saturday and this happened while I was within,” Mr. Nicholas said.


An army spokesperson later clarified the claims, saying four civilians were killed.
“The troops however fought through the ambush, overpowered the insurgents and killed six of them. The troops also captured 3 AK 47 rifles, 3 locally fabricated fire arms, 4 magazines and a belt of 7.62 mm ammunition,” O. Nwachukwu, a colonel, said in a statement.
“Sadly four persons died in the encounter. Although none of the persons killed in the ambush has so far been identified as a staff of the UN, this Headquarters considers the lives of all citizens and indeed all humans sacrosanct, which must be protected by troops even at a supreme price.
“The situation has been brought under control and further exploitation of the general area is currently being carried out by Mobile strike Team of Operation Lafiya Dole.”
Neither the army general nor the colonel spoke on the missing food trucks mentioned by the WFP.
The WFP in its email said a driver of its hired truck and three other persons were killed in the attack at Ngala in Gamboru-Ngala Local Government Area of Borno.
Adedeji Ademigbuji, the Communication Associate of the WFP, said in the statement that a convoy of the WFP’s hired trucks conveying food items were attacked by gunmen 35 kilometres South-west of Ngala on Saturday.
He disclosed that the convoy escorted by the military was conveying foodstuff for distribution to the vulnerable Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the area.
He said that a driver of the hired truck, his assistant and two other persons were killed in the attack.
“WFP confirmed that a convoy escorted by the Nigerian Military including WFP hired trucks were subject of attack by armed groups, 35 km southwest of Ngala in Borno, on Dec. 16.

10. Sprinkles

This is not strictly speaking an ingredient, but what is a cake without some sprinkles on top? Keeping a stash of sprinkles is a great idea, you never know when you’ll be making a cake or some sugar cookies that just need some extra decoration.

9. Ground almonds

These come in handy when making frangipane for tarts (such as this one). But their rich flavour also makes ground almonds a wonderful addition to certain cookies, muffins and bars. You can even experiment by using it as a substitute for a percentage of flour in your baked goods – in many instances it will work wonderfully.

8. Buttermilk

Many scone, muffin and cake recipes call for buttermilk, not surprisingly. Buttermilk is low in fat, but still rich and thick. It adds moisture and a rich buttery flavour to baked goods, making a notable difference in the texture of baked produce

7. Chocolate chips

If you’re a fan of choc chip cookies, then of course this is already on your list. But chocolate chips are also useful when making muffins, toffie bark and many other desserts and cookies. They keep for a long time and are a must when stocking up your pantry.

6. Flavour extracts

As some of you already know, adding some almond extract or orange blossom water to baked produce can make all the difference, even if your recipe doesn’t call for it. Stock up on Nielsen Massey extracts for great natural food extracts.

5. Natural food colouring

When I was a child, it was perfectly normal to have a bright blue Smurf cake. But these days, thankfully, we all think twice before adding those artificial flavours and colours to our food. Try using natural colourants – like strawberry, beetroot or blueberry purée. You can also ask your local baking supply shop for natural instead of artificial food colouring.

4. Fresh eggs

Chef Joseph Amendola said about eggs: ‘Eggs are the pastry chef’s most versatile ingredient. No staple food excels in so many supporting roles: thickener, emulsifier, leavener, and structural foundation. The egg is ubiquitous.’ Enough said, right? Without eggs there would be almost no baking. Fresh, good quality eggs will ensure your baked goods are well risen and have the right texture.

3. High quality dark chocolate

Many brownie and chocolate cake recipes call for dark chocolate to give them an authentic chocolaty taste. It’s important to use a good quality chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa for best results; milk chocolate contains more sugar and milk than cocoa, affecting the texture of your cakes and brownies.

2. Walnuts, pecans and almonds

Nuts are a great addition to many recipes – muffins, carrot cake, cookies (such as these granola cookies) and more – as they add both flavour and nutritional value. Chopped nuts can even be used to decorate a cake after it has been iced.

When you’re baking, the quality and freshness of all your ingredients are important. Of course. But there are those few ingredients that have the ability to take your baked goods from good to mind-blowingly delicious. If you’re planning to stock up your pantry, here are some great baking ingredients to add to your list.

1. Vanilla Pods
You’ll be amazed at the difference when substituting vanilla essence with fresh vanilla seeds. If you’ve never tried it, now is the time. You can use the seeds from one vanilla pod instead of 1 teaspoon of essence. And, if you’re not able get your hands on fresh vanilla, you can always use a high quality vanilla paste.

White Christmas Truffle Cake

Recipe type: dessert
Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 20 mins Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 8

Ingredients

For the cake layer
3 eggs
⅓ cup/65 g sugar
⅓ cup/45 g flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the truffle topping
1¼ cups/ 300 g double cream/heavy cream (I used 48% fat double cream)
12 oz/350 g white chocolate, chopped, not chocolate chips (measured by weight)
9 oz/250 g mascarpone or cream cheese (full fat only)

Instructions

For the cake layer
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Butter and dust with flour an 8"/20 cm round springform pan.
Beat room temperature eggs, vanilla and sugar in a medium bowl for about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer until white, foamy and triple in volume.

Fold sifted flour in 3 additions with a spatula, be careful not to deflate the cake batter. If after the addition of the flour the volume goes down significantly, the cake will not rise properly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. The baked sponge should have risen to at least double the height of the unbaked batter. Cool on a wire rack.

For the truffle topping
Bring the cream in a saucepan to a boil. Add chopped white chocolate and stir with a whisk until the chocolate in melted and completely incorporated into the cream, As soon as it's done take off the heat and let the mixture come to a room temperature.
Add mascarpone and whip with a hand mixer until smooth. If using cream cheese instead of mascarpone, whip the cheese until light and fluffy before adding cream and chocolate mixture and blending the ingredients together. Do not pre-whip mascarpone or it might separate from over-beating. Mix mascarpone and the cream/chocolate mixture together with a hand blender until combined, approximately 2 minutes.
Put the sponge layer back in the springform.
Pour the truffle mixture on top of the cake in the springform pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least for 2 hours or better overnight.
Run a knife along the sides of the cake to release it from the pan, then carefully unmold it and move to a cake stand.
