Brunching!! friends over yum!

The pictures speak the word!!!! We have
-Pancakes-- made some plain and some with chocolate inside.hmmm
-Sausages-- a few friends don't eat pork so some chicken and some pork
-Cheese eggs-- milk, eggs, cheese, salt, table butter and black pepper
-Hash browns-- the usual...topped with sweet barbecue sauce and onions
-Spagsss ---or my version of it. I found out about spags in boarding school. its something that Cameroonians make with spaghetti and eggs. i used noodles and eggs and beef and then i made a chunky tomato sauce and greens and then i let it set..so it looked like a pie..tasted good. they can testify !!! ;)

sowwy we had no fruits or orange juice..would have been a lot!!

Roasted tiny Mackerel fish and Bling LG

I am leaving my apartment pretty soon and i really like my kitchen, so i feel like i should go on a cooking spree for any and everyone till my freezer gets empty...haha jk.

So croolooo(suzy) is in town and we have had brunch and this sweet lunch for her. Roasted fish, roasted with fish sauce and potatoes(done like my mama)--boiled and then fried...cant get better..and Kale(see below)

Cameroonians NB----> Kale if cooked like Njama Njama..taste exactly like it...and if cooked like green taste exactly like it. Just how tofu takes the taste of whatever it is cooked with, thats how i see kale..try it as a substitute guys...for those abroad :)---MY SISTER FOUND IT..LAURA IS ALWAYS SEARCHING IN THE GROCERY STORE FOR WHAT LOOKS AND TASTE LIKE STUFF BACK HOME--GENIUS!

The sauce is just fresh pepper, onions, garlic,tomatoes,NJAngsa( its a Cameroonian nut like spice..i don't know how to spell it man..haha) it is meant for fish. Also add Maggi, salt, achu spices(tiny bit), black and white pepper, some spring onions too if you would like.... yum!!!

I have a bundle of myondo in my freezer but i dont want to touch it..like an antique(stupid) haha <3 <3

French toast and Egg goodness!

Breakfast for dayss..

and years...:)

Before July i hadn't had egg in like 4 months. pretty much since my sister left me :( lol. Well i never really got around to buying it. Needless to say i did not miss it enough to want it. It has to be well done for me to like it, this, ...this is well done! ;)

The french toast, may never be as good as my moms, but i loved it. My aunt in the states showed me a secret i did not know. she put some sugar in her french toast mixture. jeezzz good good stuff.

The egg, ok the egg, ok the EGGGG ---- haha i put corn beef and parsley and onions and chopped fresh habanero peppers (Aunty Mary taught me that as well). Quit frankly back home..its all we know, here all they know is hot sauce and jalapeno's and habanero's are just known as the hottest to them. Africans!!! the hottest is our only known.. haha i just love being African and even more being Cameroonian! Can't get any better...woohooo

Deep fried Cuttle fish! yum

Yummm!! :)

Washed and cleaned and getting dried...


getting ready for coating...


just flour,chili pepper, and salt

I am a sucker for sea food. Fish...God i love fish. So obviously i love deep fried calamari and anything in its family. Squids etc etc. I use cuttle fish sometimes in white okra or pepper soup, y? because it has the texture of snails and its stretches and its yummy.And since its from the sea, it won't change the flavor of your soup, it will remind you of Cray fish. So i figured, why not deep fry some cuttle fish
just like calamari. And Tada! looks great, taste great.

I am hardly ever deep frying stuff at home, just cuz i am not a big fan of friend chicken or fish etc etc, i will rather grill or roast or oven bake or pot roast.;)
But this is good.

The dipping sauce, i found the recipe online.
its just Lemon, ginger, freshly chopped parsley (or coriander), thick coconut milk, sugar and chili pepper...god that stuff taste so decent! hahaha

ps: this is definitely not Cameroonian food, but you see, for me to be attracted to anything by taste, there is always a link to my Cameroonian cuisine..just like the Cray fish and snails reference . N-joy
