ALHAJI do you cook like this for yourself daily, or do you just experiment once in a while. really nice work on the crepes aka nigerian pancakes.

lol. basically, you fold (half circle shape) pull both ends together and tuck in the bottom part/ends. I'll post pics for further explanation later.


@nflow, thanks. yes I do. (I do experiment and eat lot of garri and epa and not so good looking ish sometimes)

you cook like that??? nice!!

I think you're doing the right thing, the blending stuff is a lil bit outdated and the result is always bland and undefined, you basically get the same result with little or no special flavors and recognition of the individual ingredients. It gets too liquidy too, fish/meat swimming in gallons of liquid is unappetizing and a turn off.


long time I know, I see you're doing it big. you visited your girl (nk) up north?? I'm still in Southern Cali. clue me in per the periperi cook out..post pics if possible.


CSC. About time, vegas it is then. lol

I'll update and post the beef shank and turkey recipes.....
