I think this is my first time ever doing one of these....i'm not too good with thinking on the spot...i usually have to think bout something before writing...even before talking sef...

In not following the rules, i'm not tagging anyone...but if you happen to read this and you've not done it...feel free to try it out...

Yesterday, i had the day off work. A friend, whose sister does all the house shopping is currently away in nigeria. He had asked if i could please help him go to the farmer's market....it's not as bad as the market in Nigeria, but it does get kinda rowdy with people's body touching one another, i'm not clustrophobic, but i don't like being touched by strange bodies.

Anyway, i had refused at first but earlier during the week, my aunt and i had had a conversation about every woman knowing how to shop at the farmer's market if they were to save money. So i challenged myself and asked him to bring the money and that i would do it.

Maybe it was because i went during the week but it was not bad at all...at one store, the butcher must have known that i was new to this kinda thing, thank God he was african, most of the people there are asians or mexicans...So i had to get chicken, fish, cowleg, and oxtail.

So with the chicken, there are two types; not sure what they are called up till now but i know the nigerians call one Obasanjo chicken, those are the small ones, they taste really nice but they are small and take longer to cook. I believe they are the natural ones actually, as in un-processed... and the other one is the processed one. I didn't want to tell the guy Obasanjo chicken obviously, so i said "i don't want that chicken that is small, i want the big ones"...he laughed, but he took care of me for everything else too...God bless the guy...ended up buying everything with him....well except the fish...So i bought Tilapia from some Asians, and unfortunately they didn't even cut it. I did ask, but the guy said they didn't. Ended up doing all the work myself...

In all, kinda proud of myself, actually bought everything needed on his list, and had money left over...of-course which i kept not even enough for gas and labor...lol

We recently had guests visiting from home with their 2 little adorable kids.

Even though the kids spoke English, the accent was quite interesting, to say the least... I was telling a friend that if i happen to live in Nigeria, i would have to send my kids abroad like every 3 months just to polish their English.

What they say about Nigerians being loud is absolutely correct! I could tell with the little boy that he didn't know any better. As much as i loved the way he pronounced every single word with a "dotted T" it was still funny and wierd to me.

I'll love for my kids to not only speak good english, but i feel like they should also be "polished" (for lack of a better word) with it. I think after sending them abroad for a while, they'll realise the way it's spoken.

I can't fully explain it but that's the gist of it...lol

hi,

is meme pronounced with the e as in "me" or e as in "elephant"?

I was amazed and in shock when i got this in return...


Last Thursday was my cousin's birthday and there were plans to go out to eat...who doesn't like eating especially when u're told that it's free food right?

Well, so i eat light at work because i get full really easily...infact had just a Shrimp egg roll...The dinner venue website was posted on the e-vite so of-course i looked it up excitedly to prepare myself since the name was really fancy...(u know, as a proper african, didn't want to have to go embarass myself) I looked up the food menu and noticed the names itself were "funny"...they had a few pictures up there that i had concluded had to be desserts...

So we're at the venue about 8:30 and everyone welcoming each other...we're given a private area and i bet everyone was enjoying the atmosphere...cocktail orders were taken, the names i must say were also "funny" too, (should have been my clue to what was to become)thank God they explained what they were at the bottom so i settled for a mango moulin (i think that's what it was called)....i'm not much of a drinker but i'm used to getting slightly induced alcohol fruit drinks, u know, like the daiquiries and all...This mango whatver it is was nothing similar...the vodka in it was "serious".... had it half way when i tasted someone else's pineapple delight and wanted that instead...vodka induced pineapple juice...lol... but much better than the mango moulin....

By the time i was done with my drinks, i had already started getting dizzy, was beginning to wonder why the heck i was dizzy and my head was heavy when i realized that i had not eaten all day and had alcohol flowing through me...of-course i got impatient and kept asking when food orders were going to be taken, it was already past 9 and we had not eaten yet...

So they started taking food orders, i didn't want any starters as i had already convinced myself that those things are a gimmick, make u full before the main dish so i generally don't get them...was saving my stomach for the real deal...well, it didn't make it better that everyone around got sushi which is a no-no for me....(i'm a bush girl...u can take the girl out of the bush but u can't take the bush out of her...wareva)

Anyway, place my food order and was really happy to wait for it whilst people ate their rice and raw fish....

I was amazed, in shock, distressed when i got the picture at the top back as my food..."ki le leyi?"(what is this?) was my first reaction...the next thing was "this is not my food"...

the round green things are cantaloupes...the orange one is sliced carrot sitting ontop of a squarish looking baked rice and two that's the chicken on top with God knows what kinda sauce....u should also be able to see the nuts they have on the plate....To be honest, it was nice...but i would have had to have eaten like 3-4 of those before i get satisfied...

I was just thinking about that when the babe sitting opposite me was complaining that she could not finish the 3 small pieces of steak that was on her order(i mean, my chicken pieces were bigger than her steak)...i was not sure why and was truly shocked...something about it being a lot of meat to eat....Two guesses: she really does not like meat or because the guy sitting directly opposite her likes her and she was cautious.... or the one sitting beside her....

oh a third guess would have been the fact that i've stopped caring bout people looking or any guy and just eating...
