AJBabZ...wal mart is having sale oh. U can get me that camera for xmas so i can show u my kitchen creations

sha sha...i tried d efo elegusi 2 different ways. ur way and another way i never done b4. normally, ida cooked obe the traditional way (blend peppers, tomatoes, onion...fry obe, add stock, season), and thrown in efo, then thrown in egusi.

i tried ur way, it was good. d only thing was d kinda vegez i used tasted funny so it might've messed up d soup.

then last night, i tried dis one. boiled my cow food and goat in one huge pot (no salt, no seasoning). as it was done boiling, the water lookng all red (bloody), and foamy (whatever that stuff is), i rinsed out the meat. didnt want none of that foamy stuff or the blood.

while i was boiling the meat, i blended red bell peppers and onions. no tomatoes or d ata nla (the jamo pepper, tiny hot hot ones)

Then i split into 2 pots (one for ogbono, one for efo elegusi), threw in the regular seasoning (maggi aka MSG, red pepper, black pepper, very small salt, adobo, garlic seasoning, small ginger powder. in d egusi put, i put curry. i didnt put curry in d ogbono pot)

as the meat started to cook well well, gta get it really soft and i HATE goat smell so its gta coooooooook, i inserted the pepper onion mixture to give both soups a bit of color. i used NO OIL! the meat already has natural oils that come out. (*digressing now... talkn about oils, one time ehn, i bought one disgusting ass chicken like dis, i put in d pot 2 boil, walked away, came back, and d shege was DEEP FRYING! as in eh! from ordinary water, seasoning, and d chicken*)

sha sha...after puttin in small blended pepper/onion concoction, in d ogbono pot, i poured and stirred ogbono. got it @ d drawing consistency i wanted, and put in spinach.

same thing w/ d egusi pot, i threw in egusi after d stock and seasoning had had alone time, plenty egusi, i'm married 2 an igbo man and they like it yellow. then i threw in the spinach too.

I never taste dem yet as per chops, but from what i tasted while cooking, they're both YUM!. so see...u dont need palm oil or ororo or olive oil sef if u boil ya meat first.

I brought some of d rice and efo elegusi 2 work, I'll gist u bout it later.


ps:ive marinated ox tail in ox tail seasoning. i wanna make some of dat 2nite. i just threw out ma black beans too...rice n peas wuda been nice. but mo l'ewa sha, so i can prably use dem ones.
