Yes, it helps with digestion and by extension weight management. I can say I have improved to 2 and sometimes 3 out of 10. It can only get better with time.

I’d have pegged you as a spice lover cheesy.

But 3/10 is not too bad. Try reach 4 by next year tongue

I will try. I learnt an easier way to eat spicy food is to add some sweet to it which usually will not go with our Nigerian food.

Dinner:

Pounded yam with Delta Owho Soup.

Tried the soup for the first time and my family loves it. Decided against the starch being this is my first time making the soup and needed to be sure everyone would like it.

Using starch gives you the perfect owoh, try using starch next time and see if you will like it. you killed it from the look.

I used starch in the soup. I had earlier said I was going to prepare the soup with starch as the solid however, I decided against the solid as starch and decided we eat the soup with pounded yam.

Cos they eat healthy most times na.
We eat more than 80% carbohydrate per meal. We can't even compare.
We don't even have proteins. Only animal protein and beans which is more of carb. Normal every meal veggies like carrots, we will rather wait till we make fried rice. We even prefer raw carrot when cooked carrot is what we needed. We need nutritionists to plan our meals. Japan did it.
Wonder what those who studied that course do in real life.


1.) East Asians do not have a low-carb diet. They eat a lot of rice and noodles.
2.) They also eat a lot of fatty pork and high cholesterol organ meat.
3.) They consume excessive amounts of sugar and salt.
4.) Asians also drink a lot of alcohol. Their culture even basically forces them to do it, for example, they feel pressured to binge drink if their boss buys them alcohol.
5.) They eat a lot of fried food.
6.) Asians have high rates of diabetes. They also have high rates of stomach cancer because they eat so many fermented things.
7.) Asians are skinny mainly because of starvation diets, walking more (when they live in their country), smaller portions, social pressure (mental abuse), and poverty.
8.) I hesitate to take nutrition advice from a group of people that is very short and doesn't seem to be that physically strong.

You don't know what you are talking about.
World health indices is what you use to .easure these. Morever, the portion an average Chinese man will eat is testing spoon for us. Google rice bowl and what you will see is tiny bowl. So it's small % of carb. As per noodles, check what they use in making their noodles. I eat all manner of east Asian noodles but I can never finish one packet cos I will stuff it with loads of protein and veggies. I used to post noodles on food sections.
If I want to lose weight, I go on noodle diet.
China has high rate of diabetes not because of rice but salt and sugar. They cook with sugar.

In IQ, they lead. Your IQ is determined by what you feed your brain. No wonder we are below par cos we load our brain with carbs only.
The number one country with the best meal plan is Japan and they have the highest life expectancy after Hong Kong followed by south Korea all in east Asia.
Have you see korean food. Noodles come from these people yet, we don't prepare noodle as they do.

If I have the time and energy, I will tell you more. These are countries I have researched for years and follow their meal plan for my family

Look at those two dishes.
One is Nigerian jollof rice.
No veggie,
Less than 10% protein

The second is called bibimbap. A popular Korean rice dish.
Can you spot the rice?
Did you see the veggies, can you see the plant protein and animal protein.
We can eat the two dishes from morning till night but the korea dish is well balanced and healthy while ours lack loads of nutrients and very unhealthy.



I decided to answer only 2. The rest is unnecessary

U see our problem is portion control. The body don't need that much food to function maximally. The rest is not needed. Just stored fat.
We don't know the mechanism of eating or plating.
Watch movies where people eat in 5 star hotels and see we make mistakes in how we shoukd eat eat.

This was a gift from a dear friend. The care instructions said only dish soap. No abrasive sponges.

But I believe you. The way small money dey sound like million million in our local currency is scary. Tinubu has finished us

When I invested in my le crueset & caraway pot + pans, I stopped buying cookware. So I was very happy when she gifted this to me

I just couldn't do it. By the time maid finish am for you. Power to your elbow.

I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll just say that nothing in my previous comment was untrue, and the only reason that individual claimed it's untrue is because they're a sellout self-hater married to an Asian.

I won't comment on it further, or engage in any discussions with that person because I don't want to derail.

Was told my dad has chilli he chew as he eats.
Wtf.
I think I have his reincarnation in my house. Spicy chilli is endangered spice in my kitchen. I mean,I will combine the spicest of them all and the day I want to use it, jar is empty.

I love hot chilli especially in this season. Has been raining cat and dog here since 2 weeks. Hospitals are filled with covid breakout.

Seems theirs is hotter than ours ?

Didn't know Bini people also have Owho soup. I think the one you constantly refer to as 'Delta' is specifically Urhobo. Owho soup is native to the Urhobos, not Delta.
Regrettably, I didn't like the soup when I ate it. Maybe I am just an exception, because everybody else seem to love it.

Thank you so much sweetheart. I love soup at this time of the year so you just had the perfect timing. I need to do some shopping today. smiley

I have a pumpkin recipe for you.

You‘ll need a pumpkin of course.

a can of chopped tomatoes
a potato
an onion
two cloves of garlic
vegetable broth
vinegar of your choice
sausages of your choice
and something to spice it up, I take habaneros or add my chilli sauce to my plate after it is cooked (you know why cheesy )

1. Wash the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces. Do the same with the potato. You can add one carrot too but it’s optional. Chop the onion and garlic and fry everything on medium heat in a pot.
2. Add the tomatoes and the habaneros if you want. Then add the vegetables broth until everything is covered. Add some salt and pepper and one table spoon sugar. Add one table spoon of the vinegar too.
3. Let everything cook for about 30 minutes.
4. Take from stove and blend everything with a hand/stick blender.
5. Add the sausage and allow to get warm in the soup. You can add some liquid (broth) if you think the soup is too sick. Also add some more seasoning if needed.

Enjoy with some bread of your choice.

In Nigeria, there is nothing like lacking opportunity.
We just feel that some jobs are beneath us.

When he enter any market, he will see something to do. Even cripples have handiwork there. Stop encouraging laziness. If he has kids, this will be his excuse not to feed them daily?
