EDIKAINKONG SOUP

Olla peeps, 

Trust y'all are fantastic today😁😁😁. I am and always grateful to eat and talk about food💃💃💃

So I looooooove edikainkong and can truthfully have only kinda gotten it right the very first time I made it as I was told by a calabar friend. And after that the rest was guess work( I hardly ever use recipes for food as in measuring and stuff but with baking it absolutes are vital).

 

I stumbled upon Dooneys kitchen on Facebook and alas an edikainkong recipe and I thought you already have the Ugwu leaves(washed in vinegar water solution, best leaves I have bought in a long time and from a supermarket too! Amazing! In Lagos!), the smoked catfish(only way I can eat the stuff), panla/stockfish, ede, yellow pepper and chicken( don't do beef, Pomo and all that other stuff). I only had to buy water leaf and the market for that is practically 10minutes away from me. It was also too much of a hassle for me to go get goat meat😁.( my goat meat guy comes from a bit aways. . . )

The only thing I didn't use was palm oil as I haven't touched the stuff in over 5years. I either typically use olive oil which I always have at home or coconut oil of which I have 3 sources who make it in lagos.

Here's how it turned out( this was what was left over the following day as my nephew, hubby and I had eaten it with Amala and I was too hungry to style the plate and take a picture. It got rave reviews from both guys and I tasted the difference. It was absolutely yummy.😁😁😁

JUICING

Three things I can't do without, God, Food and Sleep and they are not negotiable at allllllllllllllllllllllll. I say all the time that God blessed me with the love of food and sleep if not I'd probably be weirder than I actually am. 

So having to get up at 5am is a huge deal for me cause I love my sleep😁😁

Any who on with my story, I bought some apples, oranges, carrots, pepper(rodo aka scotch bonnet and tatashe aka bell pepper), tomatoes, ugwu, spring onions ( did I mention I looooooove onions too) and potatoes today. Decided to juice as I haven't done in a while and voila! My orangeapplelimecarrotgingerrodo juice😁😁😁. Saving to buy a Vitamix but my trusty Phillips whole fruit juicer does wonders. Enjoy

Ps skip the rodo if you're not brave o! Ehen!

My love for green😁

Ok so I take my love for green too far sometimes(never too Far or too much for me though😁😁😁).  I will change my background colour so you don't have to strain to see. I'd like you to still have 20/20 bison when you're done reading😁. I can't seem to find how to change it on my phone but would find a way.
