I ve been very much ard bt my fone was stolen, been that I just got it at such an expensive rate I couldn't immediately get a new 1 as it wasn't part of my budget then.
Another reason being that all my food pix went with d oda fone so I ve to start afresh which may take me a bit more time to cook, snap wen am nt in a hurry and post wen am chanced. Bt d main tin is dat am bak now.

Rise is also concidered very popular dish in Nigeria. It may have many variations:
https://ask.naij.com/food/what-is-the-most-delicious-nigerian-food-i25116.html
- Coconut rice - rice, which mixed with coconut milk.
- Fried rice - cooked with meat, vegetables, eggs, prawns, poultry.
- Pate - acha, rice with ground dry corn.

mmmhhhh....@upmanager, as much as I would like to commend your effort....your presentation spoils the show. I noticed someone has pointed that earlier.
Why place the items on a sink unit to snap, why not table top.
Try to mould your swallow neatly and plate the soup beside it or in a separate small soup bowl.
I'm sure there's a table in the house, even if not in the kitchen, use it when you want t take pictures of ingredients and final product.

I hope to see an improvement in your next post pls.....
then you will earn more that 6.4/10...****smiles***
