Nicole's Culinary....My 2nd Attempt In Making Fried Rice!!!

-

Decided to put my culinary skills to work once again... my second attempt in making fried rice 😁🙈 (issa big deal)

Growing up at home in Port Harcourt.. I dreaded kitchen work..(Cooking)...I avoided it like a plague!

My mum knew not to involve me cos I will fail woefully... the only thing then I could do was boil water and maybe make  eba.. even to boil rice...'I sucked' It didn't really matter because my sisters were available to do the needful..so I will gladly do the other house chores and avoid the kitchen!

Found myself in the hospitality business at some point...  in the garde manger section.... took awhile for me to enjoy it..still didn't like cooking though!

Fast forward to a few years later..I moved to Lagos and had to fend for myself... the friend I stayed with at the time didn't care for home cooked meal..and I had already been spoiled at home ...to adjust to the Lagos style of eating anything and anywhere took a toll on me and I eventually had to start learning how to make my own dishes..every now and again I would call my mum and ask bout certain dishes and preparations ( Did I mention that my mum is a badass cook ) anyone who stayed with her turned out to be a fantastic  cook... but not me..#shame

Anyhuu...with trial and error I got better and began to enjoy cooking eventually!

Throwback to last Christmas.. I decided to make fried rice and I called my mum for recipe and she was disappointed...lol

Yeah..I know how to make good food now but I've never made fried rice by myself!
She put me through and the result was very impressive and taste was oooh so good.
So days back I had cravings for fried rice again and went on to prepare it  😁

See how it turned out below



The process












Next try is moi-moi...I'lld update here!



Ps...been a minute... (been pretty occupied lately)
hence the long gist! lol

Nicole's Journal: What I've Been Up To The Past Month...#Backfrommyhiatus

Hmmmn where do I start from... Some time last month ..I took up the courage to apply for a teaching course in yoga and got in..hence the silence here! I've had an interest in the practice for quite a while..when the opportunity came up to learn how to teach yoga...I jumped on it I most say it's been 5 weeks of intense ..deep ..and whatever adjective you can think of....work ! I've learnt so much..it may not seem like such a big deal but believe me when I say it's huge! Never knew yoga was that deep..when I took up the course..in my mind it was just a regular work out routine since  fitness is my forte.. It  will be easy (I said to myself) afterall it's all about the physical work but..who sigh!.. It goes beyond that.. there is the mental and emotional as well..relating to ones self... we had to learn and unlearn and learn again..from self discovery to the physical practise ...anatomy and physiology to meditation...awareness and a whole lot more.... ...

Nicole's Journal... Friends Who Marry and Cut You Off Because You Are Single!!!

Okay...so I never understand this thing girls do.. Why is it that when your single friends get married they cut you off cause in their head you are bad luck and it's a taboo to hang around single girls seeing that they have left the single girls club! That's how a friend of mine used me during her wedding planning but the moment the wedding was over  'puff' she was gone with the wind...like I am some sort of plaque! I didn't hear from her again until she needed me for her baby's dedication! (story for another day!) Recently I bought an asoebi from a friend of a mutual friend.. I was practically forced to get it...guess what....I didn't get invited for the wedding! I'm wondering if any one has experienced such before..so they reach out to you to get asoebi but forget to send you an invitation for the D-day Funny yea!? Arrrgh 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to spare y'all the details..not important!

See Why Tyler Perry Doesn't Like People Singing Happy Birthday To Him

-
Hey Guys, And here’s why. Every morning that I can remember until I was 41, I woke up to the voice of my mother singing Happy Birthday to me. Be it when I was a kid in my room or when I was older and had moved away, she would call on the phone and sing her heart out. How I miss her voice, off key and all... lol. All of that to say that anytime I hear some individual sing it to me, it reminds me that she's not here anymore. Sure saying it is fine, but the song… well, hearing it sung by one person makes me sad. I don't mind a group singing it so much, but one singular voice haunts me.   Just by natural reflex I woke up this morning, being half asleep, I reached for the phone to see if she had left a message, but then I realized that she died 6 years ago. In the split second that it took me to wake up fully I felt a wave of sadness come over me. Then, I heard her voice in my head saying “Baby, count your blessings. God is good." My tinge of sadness went immediately i...
