Diary Game ||11-09-2024|| My Day in Words and Pictures and How I Cooked Ridi Soup

Dear Diary

Today being Wednesday, I cooked one of my Husband's favorite soup. My husband just like many other African men love swallow (fufu) a lot than rice, beans, spaghetti, macaroni and many other food in such category. He loves many different varieties of Nigerian soups though not all, and he loves it to be cooked properly and in a very well organized manner. If you don't want his trouble it is a most to give proper attention and skilfully cooked your meals as he won't give any negative comments after cooking but has a way of stylishly refusing you from cooking it next time whenever you suggest to do so.

Mixed Ridi on fire

I will like to show you my own method of cooking the "Nigerian Ridi Soup" which beyond reasonable doubt may have different ways or methods of cooking it. But before that here is how I spent my day in an orderly manner.

I woke very early in the morning as usual, when I woke up I did my morning devotion, where I prayed and thank God for the gift of life and for his faithfulness upon our lives and I also ask him to order my day.

Mixing the Ridi inside motar

After my devotion I continued with my daily routine house chores, where I mopped the entire house and wash the dishes in the kitchen.

After which I took my bath and bath my little boy. Then later went to our mini market to get soup items.

When I came I prepared my breakfast and eat, after eating I took some rest then I later stood up to cook lunch.

The already mixed Ridi

And guess what I cook Ridi soup. The ingredients I used is:

• Ridi
• Dawadawa
• Crayfish
• pepper
• onion
• Maggi
• pomo
• salt
• ugu
• red oil
• fish

The ingredients
Step1 I put water on fire according to the quantity of the Ridi I want to cook. After which I pour the blended Ridi inside the morter then I pour little water inside then I use the pistol to mix it very well until it bring out oil.

Step 2 When the water as boil I put the ridi inside the boiled water on fire then I allow it to cook for some time.

Step 3
After the Ridi have cook for like 10 to 15min I put all the ingredients and allow it to cook, the lastly was to put the ugu, after 5min the drop the soup from the fire.

After cooking I dish the food and eat, then I package the remaining inside a flask.

The remaining of the day was spent with my lovely son and darling husband. When it was time to go to bed we did our night devotion and retired to bed.

Thanks to everyone for reading my entry on my diary today.
