The Diary Game: Preparing My Favourite Food/ Getting Frustrated By Electricity Distribution Company [07/02/2025]

in Steem Cameroon7 days ago

Good day my friends and welcome to my blog. Friday was actually quite a busy one, first of all, how are you all doing? I mean it's been a little bit tough, I know as long as our Redeemer live, we won't for any lack, alright so stay with me as I share my diary with you all.

So, apparently I had one of the best days as my day started off in a good light, no office work to go, just me staying at home to prepare what to eat and it's actually my favorite so let's really talk about my morning and the process involved in preparing beans and plantain porridge.

I brought out the plantain, peeled it and then grabbed the beans and did the selection, it was going to be a long morning because this type of food takes enough time to be prepared.

After selecting my beans, I washed it and then began to parboil it, I added salt to it so it can soften really fast. In about 20 minutes, the beans was soft already and while the beans was on fire, I chopped the plantain into tiny pieces then filtered out the dirty beans water.

After washing the beans again, I rinsed the pot then brought out my ingredients, I did not use much stuffs so, these are basically what I used to prepare it and believe me it came out really nice;

• Beans

• Plantain

• Maggi cube for seasoning.

• Crayfish

• Palm Oil

• Pepper

• Salt.

I then first of all added the plantain to the pot before going in with my beans, I added maggi cubes, pepper, salt and crayfish to it before putting it on fire. I added a cup of water to it then began to stir it so the ingredients can be evenly distributed in the pot then I allowed it to seamer for a while.

After about 5 minutes, I added palm oil to it then closed it back. This is where it gets ready tactical, sometimes you might be deceived about the colour of your beans at initial while adding your palm oil, but best u're to add appropriate quantity to it so it won't be too much or less.

After a while, I opened it up to stir it again, guess what? My oil was evenly distributed in the pot giving me exactly what I wanted. I closed it back after stirring then after few seconds, I turned off the gas and my food was ready.

Before I ate my breakfast, I had to take my bath, washed the utensils I used in preparing the food and then mop the kitchen because the beans water had splashed and you know how smell it could be. After this, I took my bath and then had my sumptuous meal for breakfast.

When I finished eating, I was tired and this was around 11am, I just had to do small promotional video before mid day so that I can use it, it was about 5 videos so it wasn't much anyways. After that I went to bed to relax my back.

By 2pm, I woke up and the first thing I did was to come online on steemit to vote and comment on people's posts before anything. After that, I started off with my Depins Airdrops, due to our electricity distribution company has failed to provide us with light, I couldn't do much because my system battery was low so I rushed over them and then by 4pm my system was down and by 7pm I was supposed to have classes with my steemit mentees, this alone made me restless.

I had to rush outside, gave my laptop and power bank out for charge. The money I spent was about #1000 naira trying to power up these devices. I went to the nearby field to stay, though there wasn't any football training or match going in but I just had to stay somewhere away from my home. By 6:15pm, I went back to where I charged my devices and paid my money then took them back home even when they weren't fully charged but it was manageable.

By 8pm, I was so tired of the whole thing after I finished the class with them, so I had to warm my beans porridge and eat then took my bath. I couldn't even write anything on steemit, so I just went to bed without wasting much time and that was how my friday went my friends, thank you so very much for having me. Till my next diary guys, take care of yourselves and stay safe out there, much love.
