Health / Fast Proteic Pancake No Sugar Or Butter by Gulliveig(f): 10:37am On May 01, 2020
If you have very few ingredients and want to prepare good, healthy and protein pancakes I recommend this recipe.

You don't need the usually essential ingredients: yolk, sugar, butter and milk (replaced by Yogurt),

Supplies:
Flour 140g

Egg white 500ml

Greek yogurt 170g

Baking soda (optional)

Lemon (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Mixture

To prepare your mixture put the egg white in a bowl and beat it lightly until you get a light foam.

At this point add the Greek yogurt and whisk again. Finally add the flour. I use oat flour because it is healthier and more protein.

If you want, add baking soda and lemon juice to contrast the taste of the eggs. You can also put vanilla for sweets.

Take a ladle of the mixture and pour it on the hot pan.

When small holes form above, it means that a side is cooked.

At this point turn the pancake and cook it on the other side for 30 seconds.

Now it is ready!!

Pour in the 4 C of boiling water and allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes. I use the electric kettle to boil the water which makes the process easy and convenient.


Step 4: Pour Apple Juice and Stir
Discard the tea bags and let the tea come to room temperature. Once the tea is at room temperature, stir in add the 4 C apple juice and stir gently.


Step 5: Slice Apples
Cut your apples into thin slices that can fit into your serving cups.


Step 6: Add Sliced Apples and Pour Tea
In a Mason jar or any serving cup you have available, add ice, sliced apples and pour in your tea and apple juice mixture.

Fashion / Homemade Cucumber Facial Mist by Gulliveig(f): 11:11pm On Apr 30, 2020
Well Skincare options are countless today.

Each brand has tons of products to offer for a skin problem, or even before the problem can crop up.

Some work, some don’t and some others that work for your skin do not seem to work for your pocket – right?

In this place i'm gonna show you how to prepare a Facial Mist using Cucumber where you can also prepare it many other things.

A Cucumber.

Filter

Water

Container(to store)
Now, there can be two ways out. In case you want to use it solely as a toner and would probably use it once or twice a day, you can straight away churn it, sieve out the juice and store. My aim is to prepare a facial mist cum toner which requires it to be a bit more liquefied. I am going by the other way for this reason. I’ll start cutting the cucumber in horizontal strokes first.

I need very small pieces of cucumber, so I am giving vertical cuts as well. I will cut from the base to get fine and equal sized chopped cucumber pieces.

Now keep a vessel on the stove and turn on the flame.

Add a little amount of water into the vessel and start heating .

Now add chopped cucumber pieces into the water.

Keep the pan on a low flame now for 5-7 minutes in total.

Now, put the flame off and let the cucumber water cool down a bit. It would take approximately 10 minutes to cool down to the level we want.
Transfer the cucumber pieces along with the water to a mixer jar.

Turn on the mixer for around 20 seconds keeping the mixer speed at the 1st level.

Now you have this.
We are nearly done with the procedure and guess what? I am already excited to spray it on my face! We have to now sieve the juice out and that will separate the bigger pieces.

Filter the juice and collect it directly into a storage bottle or a glass for the moment, like the way I have done.

That’s it, our cucumber facial mist / toner is ready! Refrigerate it in a clean bottle and spray as and when required

Just look at the pictures carefully
Is well arranged as the procedure

Health / Relaxing Sugar Scrub by Gulliveig(f): 10:31pm On Apr 30, 2020
Have you ever just need a relaxing sugar scrub after a long hard day? Well, then this sugar scrub is perfect for you! It is really easy to make and all the ingredients are easy to get.
Step 1: What You Will Need!
The awesome part about this project that it is easy and not a lot of supplies.

1. You will need 2 cups of Epson salt. You can find this anywhere. Make sure to get the regular Epson salt.

2. You will need 1 cup of granulated sugar. Again, you can find this anywhere.

3. You will need 1/2 cup of olive oil. You can use coconut oil if you wish too. You can find both of these items pretty much anywhere.

4. Next you will need 25-30 drop of the Lavender essential oil. You can find this at any natural, organic grocery store.

5. You will need red and blue food coloring. 4 drops of each.

6.Then you will need a container to put it in. If you are making this for gifts then you could put it in a mason jar and wrap it up pretty!

7. You will need a medium bowl to mix everything in.

8.You will need a spatula and measuring cups.

First, you will need to put the two cups of Epson salt in the medium bowl.
Now you will need to put 1 cup of the sugar in the medium bowl.

The Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
Now lets put in the olive oil or if you choose the coconut oil. Put in 1/2 cups of that.

Now for the lavender essential oil. Put in 25-30 drops.
Now put in 4 drops of each the red and blue food coloring. This is going to give it that lavender color.

Now time to stir. Stirring will take a little bit just because you want to make sure you get the colors mixed together. After everything is mixed up you can now put it in the container that you choose. Enjoy!!

Literature / Yejide Episode 2 by Gulliveig(f): 10:14pm On Apr 30, 2020
When Yejide gave the man the money, she begged for her life to be spared and fortunately for her, he let her go. She wasn’t still herself even after she left the hotel that day. She couldn’t wait to get back home to tell Dupe about her encounter. As she arrived at her compound later that morning, she quietly walked into her flat, shutting the doors behind. She sat on her bed, sighing in relief but almost in tears. In a period of twenty-four hours, she had given herself to a man who cheated her and almost sent her early to grave. All through her reign as a prostitute, she had never had such encounter. She stayed awake, just sitting up in bed until she heard Dupe open the door from outside.

“Dis one wey na me dey always meet you for house. Wetin dey happen?” Dupe said as she walked in but Yejide didn’t respond.

“Yejide! This one that you’re looking like they stole your money. What happened?” Dupe said again as she walked over to Yejide and sat on the bed beside her.

“Dupe! You no go believe wetin happen. They did not only steal my money oo. You for don dey mourn me.”

“Ahn ahn Yejide! Wetin happen now?”

Yejide sighs as she tells Dupe about her encounter with the young man she met the previous night. When she was done narrating, she paused and waited for Dupe’s response;

Dupe burst out into laughter before talking.

“Na so you keep your face like shit? Cheer up now. Wetin don happen don happen. But thank God you’re okay sha.”

‘I know….” Yejide was about to say something before she was cut short by Dupe.

“Bet come oo. So you still no collect the money? You messed up oo”

Yejide looked at Dupe who said it with all seriousness.

“Dupe! I’m saying I was about to die and you’re talking about money. If I die, who go use the money?”

Dupe just laughed and stood up from where she was seated.

“You’re funny oo” Yejide said, while watching Dupe who didn’t even look like she was a bit affected by the story or even scared that it may have happened to her.

“Ahn ahn, wetin now. No be true I talk. Okay if you live without the money wey dey buy your food, pay your bills, explain how you wan survive.”

“Ahn ahn, you’re acting like you haven’t seen worse. God go provide now.”

Dupe laughed as she continued, “Ashewo, God know you?”

But as she saw the look on Yejide’s face, she kept a straight face and apologized.

“Sorry, I don dey go.”

Dupe who had taken off her clothes with a towel wrapped around her body left the room for the bathroom with Yejide still sitting down on the bed. Yejide kept thinking about the situation she had found herself in earlier that morning. She didn’t even report to the hotel management nor did she say a word to any other person because she was scared and thought it would also be embarrassing if people found out that she was the cause of the incident since she was a prostitute.

After about a few hours, around the hour of their normal departure time for the streets, Yejide still hadn’t gotten dressed. Dupe was almost done dressing up and Yejide hadn’t put on her outfit yet. She sat on her bed feeling very worried. Dupe saw this and sat down close to her before saying;

“Yejide, C’mon girl. All because of what happened yesterday night. It has only happened once now. Don’t worry, nothing will happen okay? Na dis small tin dey make you tink like dis. Nor worry.”

Yejide only looked up and smiled at her friend. She knew she was trying to cheer her up but she couldn’t stop thinking about it. She later opened up and told Dupe that she wouldn’t be going out with her that night. Nobody stressed it, so Dupe got dressed and left the house without Yejide.

Into the night, around 11:00pm, Yejide who had been sleeping woke up panting really hard. She had a worried look on her face with her palm resting on her chest. She had been sweating in the darkness and hotness of the room since there was power outage and she and her roommate couldn’t afford to maintain a generator. She relaxed back on the bed and whispered to herself that it was just a terrible dream. She had just dreamt about Dupe getting into some sort of trouble. She almost called Dupe but refused to let what she called her anxiety spoil everything for Dupe. She managed to fall back to sleep and had a less disturbing sleep throughout the night.

The next day, Yejide woke up at around 10:00am and decided to do the house chores. Dupe wasn’t back yet and Yejide didn’t expect her to be back at that time either since she normally returned home past midday. She finished her house chores and even met oga Lucas when she was on her way to the bathroom. They both greeted each other and oga Lucas made his funny remarks as usual before waving her bye as he said he was on his way to work. After Yejide was done with taking a bath, she went into her flat, put on some clothes and took the leftover food from yesterday to go warm it up in the kitchen. She put the food on the stove and went back into her room to do a few things before siting down on the bed to use her phone. After a few minutes when she had completely forgot that she put something on the stove, one of her neighbors from outside her flat which was coming from the kitchen shouted;

“Na who dey cook oo? Your food don burn finish.”

At the point, Yejide jumped when she got back to her senses and realized that she had just allowed the only cooked food they had to burn. She dashed out of her room and into the kitchen to meet mama ejima (a nickname usually given to a mother of twins).

“Mama ejima. Thank you oo. I don forget finish.” Yejide said as she entered the kitchen.

“No worry. I don commot am. Pele.”

Yejide thanked her again and left for her room with a kitchen towel tied around the hot pot of rice in her hands. As she got into the room and dropped the pot, a call immediately came in. She looked at the caller id and saw Rita, one of she and dupe’s friends who were into the same business with them. She picked it up and greeted themselves. Their conversation was as thus;

“Yejide! You never hear?”

“Rita wetin happun?” Confused Yejide asked.

“They have arrested our girls oo. Just yesterday night for prostitution they say.”

“What? Including Dupe?”

“Ahn ahn Dupe no be the same? She dey there na.”

“Oh my……so how you con escape?”

“Me I no go yesterday. I heard from a source.”

“Do you know what police station?”

“Yes I have the address. I’ll text it to you.”

“Okay thank you.”

“Wetin you wan do?”

“I want to try to get her out of there now.”

“Ahh okay good luck sha.”

“Yes please don’t forget to send me the address.”

“Okay no problem. I go send am now. Bye bye.”

“Yeah bye”

Health / 3 Ingredient Flour-less PB Cookies by Gulliveig(f): 8:09pm On Apr 29, 2020
A friend of mine told me about these peanut butter cookies (and let me sample one) and I was so excited to try them out for myself! I have been eating Gluten Free for quite a few years now so any recipe that is flour-less catches my attention. Also I'm not much of a baker. When I do bake It's usually only those simple recepies that are quick and easy to make as well as delicious. These cookies definitely fit the bill.

Note: I love using my baking mats for these because they make cleanup so much easier but you don't have to have one to makes these cookies. A regular cookie sheet will work fine.

Prep: 5 mins

Cook: 12-15 mins

Total: 20 mins

Yield: 1 dozen big cookies or 2 dozen small

Supplies:
Ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
To start off preheat oven to 350°.

Add peanut butter, sugar and egg into your bowl and mix well.
Spoon out your dough onto baking mat or cookie sheet. You can make12 larger balls or 24 smaller ones. I decided to just make 12 this time.

Take your fork and press down on each cookie in a criss cross pattern. This makes them look all fancy
Step 3: Bake and Cool
Once your oven is hot, bake the cookies for 12-15 mins.

Remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for another 2 mins then gently move them to a cooling rack.

Once they are completely cool it's Peanut Butter Cookie Time! Enjoy your yummy creation!

Health / Pineapple Rind Tea Experiment by Gulliveig(f): 7:41pm On Apr 29, 2020
I wish this site permits more pictures

The other day while cutting pineapples, I thought of how wasteful it was to throw away the rinds, so I started to search for ways to do something with it instead. From the World Wide Web, I learned that you can use these rinds to make tea by steeping them in hot water (Method #1) or fermenting (Method #2) them and so I decided to do a little experiment.

Surprisingly, Method #1 turned out to be my favorite of the two. I like that I don’t have to wait to enjoy the tea, and it was the most delicious tea of the two. Method #2 had the most beautiful color of the two, but its funky flavor was too overpowering for me.

Hypothesis (And of course I have to have a hypothesis, this is an experiment, after all, LOL)

Since there is not much pineapple juice left in the pineapple rinds, Method #1 will taste plain, more like a diluted pineapple juice. Method #2 will taste more like a pineapple flavor kombucha. I love kombucha, so I will probably like Method #2 over Method #1.

Ingredients

1 whole pineapple rinds
8 cups of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar (optional if you like sweet)
~1 tsp of ginger peels (or as much as you like)
1 tsp. of turmeric powder (fresh turmeric is better)
1/2 lemon, sliced
I added all ingredients into a pot and brought it to a rolling boil. Once boiled, I removed the pot from the heat and let the tea cool down to room temperature before removing the rinds and spices. I stored the tea in the fridge and enjoyed it over ice.

Method #2 — Pineapple Rinds Fermented TeaMethod #2 — Pineapple Rinds Fermented TeaMethod #2 — Pineapple Rinds Fermented TeaMethod #2 — Pineapple Rinds Fermented Tea
Method #2 is based on tepache, a fermented Mexican drink made from pineapple and piloncillo aka Mexican brown sugar.¹ Piloncillo is sugar cane juice syrup that is shaped into a cone and is often used in Mexican cuisine.

The original Tepache recipe calls for piloncillo, but since I don’t have it, I decided to substitute it with brown sugar.

Ingredients

1 whole pineapple rinds
2 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
I dissolved the sugar in water prior to adding the rinds and spices and then added it along with all the other ingredients to a 32 oz mason jar. I covered the mason jar with two paper towels and held it in place with the jar lid ring. I let the tea ferment on the counter at room temperature in a dark place for 2 days

Step 3: Results
ResultsResults
Appearance

Method #1 — The tea had a light yellow color from the turmeric and was a little cloudy.

Method #2 — The tea had a beautiful brown color similar to the brown sugar color. There were a few brown sugar crystals at the bottom of the tea, but as the tea ferments, the sugar crystals disappeared. Bubbles started to form along the inside edges of the glass and rise to the top of the liquid.

Taste

Method #1 — The tea was not too sweet and had a slight hint of pineapple and turmeric aroma. It tasted like pineapple and turmeric-infused water. Over ice, this tea was refreshing. Add a splash of Malibu Coconut Rum and you are definitely in a Hawaii retreat.

Method #2 — The tea had a strong pineapple and a funky aftertaste flavor. It tasted like a badly fermented pineapple flavored kombucha

Step 4: ​Conclusion
Overall, my favorite tea of the two methods was the one from Method #1. It produced the most refreshing tea that had a hint of pineapple flavor. I enjoyed my over ice with a splash of Malibu Coconut Rum.

The turmeric in Method #1 was a little overpowering and the brown sugar didn’t really make the tea that much sweeter, so I would omit the brown sugar and turmeric.

Method #2 funky flavor was too strong for me. After doing some research, I learned that in order to substitute for piloncillo I need to add molasses in addition to the brown sugar. If you are going try Method #2, try it with molasses and brown sugar, and if you can find it try to use piloncillo.

Give it a try and let me know which one do you like the most.

Episode 1 continues
While Yejide was preparing food at the kitchen outside her flat that she shared with some of her neighbors, she heard a man’s voice. It was the voice of oga Lucas as they normally call him. He was one of Yejide’s neighbors in his thirties who was not married and always had something to say whenever he came in contact with Yejide.

“My wife! How are you?” he said as he entered the kitchen.

“Oga Lucas, wetin you dey find?”

“My wife, I was, I mean I am looking at….I mean I am looking for you.”

“Oga Lucas, I know sey English hard but please I’m not your wife. Stop looking for me now”

“My wife, don’t say that now. Hmm, dis tin wey you dey cook, na for me and you abi?”

Yejide rolled her eyes at him before laughing. He was very annoying but he was also a funny man. He always looked and acted drunk even though he wasn’t a drunkard. It was just his nature to act stupid some times. He started singing when he saw that Yejide was trying not to pay attention to him again.

“My wife Yeji Yeji dey make me kolo eh, kolo eh…”

When he started singing, Yejide got really annoyed and frustrated so she told him to leave the kitchen. On his way out, Dupe was just coming out from the bathroom when she met oga Lucas coming out from the kitchen so she greeted him;

“Ahn ahn oga Lucas. Good afternoon oo.”

“Ahh Dupe, good afternoon oo. I just went to see my wife and she chased me away. Can you imagine?”

“Oga Lucas! You sef, you’re not tired? Yejide no gree now.”

“You be Yejide’s mind. No annoy me oo. Ah don dey go sef.” Oga Lucas said angrily while leaving Dupe behind. Dupe just smiled and retired to her room.

After Yejide was done preparing food for both of them, they ate together and rested. By night time, they were already dressed in their business outfit heading for their spot. They, that is, Yejide, Dupe and all the others used to lurk around one area in Lagos. That spot was very populated with prostitutes and even though several incidents had occurred there, they never seemed to reduce in size. That faithful night, Yejide met a young man who she thought was very good looking. In the essence that, he looked rich and he was handsome. She had been given a huge sum that night by the man and she had happily followed the man to the hotel as usual. After a night of fulfilling his desires, they slept until the following morning. That morning, she got up early and was dressing up when he woke up and spoke out;

“Where do you think you’re going?” Yejide looked at him in a confused state before speaking up;

“I’m going home.”

“Not until you give me back my money”

“Ahn ahn, see me see wahala oo”

“Why should I give you my money?”

“I will not ask you after this. Give me my money!”

“Shuoo, Oga which one be dis. Abeg no even start oo” she said before ignoring him, putting on her shoes and picking up her bag. As she was done dressing up and was about heading out the door, she received a hot slap on her face that made her fall to the ground. When she recovered from the slap, she looked up and found a gun pointing at her.

“Now! Give me my money!” the man said, leaving Yejide in shock.

She paused for a while, still in shock, before opening the zip of her handbag to bring out the money he had given her the night before.

The story of a prostitute…..

Writer’s note: As you read this story, you will come across pidgin English in a few places. I’m sorry if you don’t understand pidgin because they were not really translated but I’m certain if you just follow it, you’ll understand the storyline and get to know what they mean. Apart from that, normal English was mostly used. Thanks for your understanding.

Episode 1

It was about 11:00pm and Yejide still hadn’t found a customer. She looked around and saw that the other prostitutes were already getting picked up in fancy cars. She began to get really pissed until a car drove up to her. She looked at the car and squeezed her face even more because according to her, she could tell what a man already had to offer her by his ride. She looked away and acted like she didn’t see the car. The man in the car rolled down his window and called out to her with a strong Igbo accent;

“Hey betiful gal, omalicha, kedu? How are you?”

At this point, Yejide who was still looking away moved away from the car even though she knew he was trying to get her attention.

“Betiful gal, I’m talking to you na. Business don close?”

When she heard this, she got irritated, moved closer to the car and said her mind;

“Omo Igbo. I no gree now. You dey chase all my customers. Abeg waka.”

“Ahn ahn! Why you dey talk like dis na. I be new customer be dat. I get money na.”

Yejide saw how persistent the man was even after she spoke rudely to him so she asked him a question;

“How much you get?”

“Betiful girl, enter car fest na.”

She finally agreed and entered the car. As she got in, he brought out some money from a bag he had kept at the back seat and handed it over to her. It was a stack of money. She looked at it and was very surprised to see the lot but she pretended to the man like it was a small portion compared to what she normally got from her other customers. Then, the man brought out some money out of the bag again and handed it to her, letting her know that, it was all he had. She accepted it and after a little discussion, they drove to a hotel together.

The next day, Yejide got back home to her one-bedroom, self-contained house that she shared with her friend by around past two in the afternoon. She entered the house to find it empty as she had left it the previous night. She yelled her friend’s name but nobody answered so she locked the door behind before heading for the bed. As she sat, she took off her heels and brought out the money she had obtained from the previous night. Looking at it, she smiled boldly but then the smile suddenly turned into a frown. She became sad and a little depressed. She had been thinking about the life she was living and confessed to herself that she hated it. She knew what it all meant as a prostitute but according to her and her friends, it was what put food on the table. She wasn’t a graduate from the university neither did she finish her secondary school. She had wished back then that she could complete her senior secondary school and attend a university but life wasn’t as it seemed. Every time she had this thought, she only gave herself excuses in order to avoid the truth or guilt that she felt. So as usual, she made yet another excuse and shook off the sadness. It wasn’t long when she saw the door open and in came Dupe, her roommate. She put the money back into her bag as a conversation sprang up between them.

“Ahn ahn ashewo, you don come back?” Dupe said to Yejide.

“Dupe, ah don tell you make you no dey call me dat name.”

“Bet no be ashewo you be”

“ah don tell you make you no dey call me dah name Dupe.” She said to Dupe angrily.

“Oya I’m sorry. No be play ah dey play. You sef ehn. Yeji baby! Oya I’m just joking. I’m sorry now.”

“I’ve heard.”

Dupe looked at Yejide with a funny face and they both burst into laughter.

“Yejide, you funny sha oo” Dupe said.

“No start again oo” Yejide replied and Dupe immediately put her hands in the air in surrender. They smiled again before Dupe asked Yejide about their landlord. She asked if he had come around again to talk about his rent and Yejide replied that she just got back home. They talked about their day and previous night since they were both into the same business. After talking about their encounters and night, they both brought out money to contribute for their house rent and not long after, their landlord came knocking on their door. As they opened the door, they greeted their landlord who immediately asked for his rent. After giving him his rent, they shut their door as he left the premises. They continued talking until they were exhausted. Yejide decided to prepare some food while Dupe decided to go take a bath.
