THE DIARY GAME: HOW I SPENT MY YESTERDAY - ALL4ONE, 100% POST PAYOUT TO STEEMALIVE //@essygold/13/02/22

Welcome to a beautiful day. How are you doing my friends in Steemit, I hope you are doing good. Let me use this opportunity to share my day and how I spent it.

I thank God Almighty for granting me this day. I woke up happily and strong, fit enough to do my chores. But first as I stood up from bed, I bowed before God with thanks of appreciation for life. Shortly after my prayers, I checked on my Online messages and responded to the necessary ones.

At about 6.30am I opened the door and came outside to fetch water that I will use in the kitchen to start cooking breakfast of Beans to be eaten with Pap. After putting it on the electric stove, i started attending to other duties already needing my attention. at about 7am, I hurried up to go to the fish market so I can see the villagers that will bring fish to the early morning market. Not that I wanted to buy fish rather I want to arrange with them to get me already used and condemned fishing nets they are no longer using. I want to use it to block access to my chickens from entering my vegetable garden.

After collecting the contact of the person to help me get them from the village, I decided to buy other things fresh from the sea. I saw many of the women selling Periwinkle snails, infact they were so many of them selling Periwinkles.

I just have to buy 1 paint bucket full of it because it was very cheap there. But I never knew that I was in for trouble. Yes there is problem here. Guess what? Read along.

Friends, do you know how to un-shell and bring out the tiny meat from the shells of this creatures? Infact that was where the problem hanged. It is really a very big and difficult task.

My daughter used hammer to break the shell before bringing out the meat. It had been a very long time since I did this so by now I have forgotten the process of dong it again and my husband was not at home to help out because he is an expert in doing that as he once lived in the riverine area before. After trying with my daughter for more than 2 hours without good success, I had to consult Google search. By then it was getting dark. Google search said we should first parboil the Periwinkles with a little salt for 5 minutes before removing the meat from the shells. Infact we tried but still the result was not good enough. We got only a small quantity as you can see here.

Finally, i packaged the remaining ones and put inside the Refrigerator. As we are talking it is still in the Freezer. The ones not yet parboiled I left them on the ground and poured water there, believing it will still survive till the day I will be chanced to use them. At about 9pm our dinner was ready. Filled with tiredness, I just ate small food and slept off.

I hope you have seen the things that occupied my yesterday, thank you so much for reading to the end.
