| A dinner table in the resturant |
Artist: Mckeough Rita
I really like Art (i paint freelance once in a while, its like therapy to me) and i saw this at my school's art gallery. It's a comic restaurant called the lion's share and everything in it is alive. Its kinda hard to explain, everything in the restaurant is electrified. I tried to add captions but it sort of distorts the order of the pictures. So from the left :
-Restaurant table with food on it
-Milk, a hot dog and eggs. Everything is plastic but it looks real, the milk in the glass seems to be in motion, like somebody aggressively put it down.
-The kitchen; where the magic happens. There's a fake hen on the table too; she lays all the eggs
-The next four are the kitchen shots
-The table again
-The hot dog tank; live dogs with poop (Angeo's spelling) lol,. You choose your hot dog and get it cooked.
-A view of the restaurant, check out the furniture bottoms
-The Specials board, once you walk in that's what you see
-The milk jar is like a fish tank, and when you move closer it's boiling
-Wall decor (Talking carrots)
-I :)
-The Artist.
CHRIST - Lasagna
S is for the Star that shone so bright
T is for Three wise men, they who traveled far
You need to be a meat lover and a cheese lover to like this; IMO. Twas my first time making it and lets just say it tasted like i had been there done that, lol. I will put up my recipe. I can't say this is Cameroon related at all, finding it hard to type something about this dish because the picture is so self explanatory. lol. Enjoy.
CHRI-- Dodo Luv & a picture i like
R means our Redeemer
I means Israel

| Dodo is like a lady's little Black dress, it never gets old and it works whenever you don't know what to wear but still want to stop the show. |

I just like this picture.... forget what i said before.lol.. not that it was a lie. :) IDM {I didn't make it}

CH - 'Cumen boiled rice, Beef Stew and Naan Bread'
C is for the Christ child, born upon this day
H for Herald angels in the Night
Boiled rice with Cumin. Cumin is a spiced a discovered through a hair client and it just gives the rice a different flavor. She made a big deal about it but quit frankly i didn't see the huge difference. It's what i will call a desperate measure for variety lol. Try it though, maybe it's just me. The Stew is just beef stew but i let it simmer for long after it was ready (to kind of over cook the beef). The Naan bread was store bought and i toasted it in the oven, but it goes back to Cameroonians and Bread. There's just something about that... :)... Sorry for the late updates guys; what can i say its Christmass.

Puff Puff and Beans
I feel like i am always saying its been so long. But here goes... its been so long! lol. I love the viewer counter and blog loving. #justsaying. Well here we have puff puff and beans. I made the puff puff, my Brother Sid made the beans. His beans is the best i know. He knows it too; he calls it "Skills". lol. If you have awesome brothers say eeeeyyyyoooh!
Yogurt & Lemon Cake.
>> Oct 9, 2011
So, my friends know: i never bake... or at least i try to but i don't have a baker's confiance. I felt like putting a little love into something and so i decided to bake. Baking requires patience, i dont have patience. lol. so i tried to do everything slowly and finely. I followed a recipe from a book {I must say, sometimes these recipe books are crazy! #nuffsaid }. My Aunty Dora used to make yogurt cake for us when we were kids and she'd use food coloring in the cake haha. She could cook up a storm BTW.
Well i am very proud of the turn out. The recipe called for cream or icing on the top and i used whip cream ( because in my mind its lighter lol) and pecans on the top. The cake had the consistency of cheese cake.
Plantains & Cat Fish stew.
I know its been a while, its school guys. This is supposed to be a post from last weekend. I have been crazy busy; but i stay loyal ( :)puts palms together in prayer mode) lol. Well, I boiled the ripe plantains and: -----Does anyone remember Njangsang (LAWD! i know i spelled that wrong.) lol but its a spice that looks like peanut. We crush it and use it to make fish stew; with fresh fish of course. In case anyone forgot i have a picture of it here in my hand :) lol.
NJANGSANG:
*A few things about it*
-You have to fry it in a pan to dry it before you can crush it, that makes it easy
-I have noo idea where it comes from sorry lol.
*How to apply it to your food*
-When you are frying your tomatoes and onions, add it to the sauce and let it cook with the mixture. :)... crushed of course.
Dodo & Ndole.

Your mind : this girls' crazy
Me : Do i make you hungry or awaken your appetite for something you haven't had in a while.... or just make you remember home.
Your mind : In fact i am closing this browser..
Me : My target is to remind you of your roots. Any thing else is a human urge, deal with it :) lol J/K

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE DAILY READERS/VIEWERS.
(NOW AT LEAST 75 PER DAY).
TO ME IT'S BLISS! I DO IT OUT OF LOVE FOR PAYS, SPREAD THE LOVE. :)
Chicken Breast, Carrots and green beans.
~ This month has been a month of Gratitude to me. I have learned a lot from a few experiences in life. The way i see the world is; everyone i meet has something to offer, it might be their story, it might be their reaction to a situation or it might be how they respond to me. Either way, i pick something up all the time, to me knowledge comes in many different ways. Its up to you to to acquire it. no one and nothing is too small.
~ I also learned that sometimes someone may affect you negatively only to awaken the best part of you from within. Be thankful to everyone in your life, they are there for a purpose. Spread the love.! These dishes were...awesome :). Have a great week guys!
Bisous!!, DMC
Yam and chicken breast.

Peppered Snails (Nyamangoro)
>> Aug 25, 2011
Where i come from this is Taboo!. The North will tell you only people from the dirty Southwest eat Snails. My parents don't obviously, so naturally i never grew up eating snails .
(No offence, I love Cameroonians, North, south, east, west..Hit it!!! )
In Cameroon you won't find this on the streets of Bamenda, (except i was fooled with that fact hehe), . BHS changed that for me, it was like the best snack in boarding school days and it was Illegal, Illegal always seems more attractive :) . Raise your hand if you know what i mean.... thnx!. It is sold on sticks back home.
This is what they look like sold in Cameroon -------------------> I stole that picture off Facebook. I don't remember who's page it was on. Forgive me and thank you. :p
Funny enough "L'escargots s'est du délicatesse".(did a say tha righ? haha)
Steak and fried rice.
I get tired of rice. Its amazing what spring onions can do.
I cannot say much here...Pictures talk these days. :)
