WackyJ1:
1. Possesiveness- attempting to limit her movements..
a.. Always trying to track her movements, calls e.t.c
2. Paranoia- always being scared that someone will take her away from you Or that she'll leave
3. Jealousy
4. Low self esteem

Some ladies like number 1 ,1a and 3 in their partner,in fact it turns them on .

But really can any girl stand number 2?..... when it comes to that the guy definitely needs professional help like Yield said.

here's another craving i just heard.

Match sticks... eewww

Shea Butter

The best way to use natural shea butter is by whipping it up with an electric mixer .( like the one used in cake making)

the texture is softer and allows you to mix your essential oils (like lavender,pepper mint,sweet orange ) in it to give it a good smell since we all know that local and natural shea butter has a pretty unpleasant smell.

i will advice every guy who shaves often to try this Incredible shaving Gel from gillette,You will be glad you did. Dont forget to get a disposable shaving stick or a disposable pack of shaving blades

here's a picture of the gillette gel below

floral prints really look cool when they are played down.

equate apricot scrub

this scrub is so good to my skin and has neither parabens nor mineral oil.It is similar to St.Ives Invigorating scrub.

recently did a review on both scrubs here http://productsthatactuallydowork..com/2013/08/my-facial-skin-care-regimen.html

pri3stess: Tufiakwa, I can never date an insecure person, they are the type that will kill their partner out of jealousy, when you start seeing traits like that in a person, it's usually time to bounce.

My dear, with the kind of rage that comes with that sort of jealousy ,sometimes they end up not just dealing/killing the partner including the innocent person they suspect to have something their partner.

One guy i know many years ago poisoned his girlfriend 'cos she won the visa lottery and he felt that was the end of their relationship and when she leaves the country she was going to abandon him . It was really tragic,she never made it to the airport ,she died.

@Akposy
most of the time i'm in Nigeria,and if you are wondering if the meals you've been seeing here are prepared by me in Nigeria.Yes. Some of the non perishable ingredients i get when i travel abroad and the rest from lebanese/indian/ or Mediterranean stores in Victoria Island/Lekki.

Right now i'm looking around to get some Mascarpone Cheese to make some tiramisu this weekend,havn't found it in the stores yet.I miss my Desserts.


@tjski
first off ,Congratulations on your newborn and No ,the meal was prepared for the entire family,everyone dishes from what you see there on the dining table, so sometimes if i'm lucky i get to take a picture before they dig in.
For some reason i lose my appetite immediately after cooking,and end up eating the left overs after watching everyone
eat.
thanks though,when you've got picky folks in the house then you know presentation matters a lot. I've had a situation where everyone walked away from the table after the food was served hapharzardly

@Joeydozzy

@Yield
The trick behind cooking jollof rice with out getting it burnt is to cook it under moderately low heat and try to cook it in a non-stick pan or non-stick pot,thats what i use anyway.The rice just needs to absorb the sauce you've poured over it under this temperature of flame,that doesnt mean its not cooked.

To make tasty jollof rice ,here's my big sister's secret recipe - ..blend a lot of crayfish with bell peppers (tatashe in yoruba) when blending the tomatoes ,onions and peppers to make your stew sauce for the jollof rice,make sure you have a lot of crayfish ,a lot of tatashe and less tomatoes (say one hand full of cray fish to 7 large tatashe and 4 tomatoes,and depending on how spicy you want it you can add 7 or 10 pieces of the usual small/tiny red peppers.


this will make a sauce for say 3 to 4 cups of rice ,dont forget to add your beef/chicken/turkey/ whatever Stock water.
she also uses canned tomatoe paste and Grates a bit of ginger when frying the tomatoe sauce in oil.

Finally ,do not allow the rice to dry up , leave a bit of boiling sauce to stir it with,before turning it off,jollof rice is never tasty when it is served dry,it has to be a bit savoury.

i had relatives who came over for summer holidays in august last year ,and we went for a picnic ,i had to chaperon my nieces ,nephews and the rest of the kids and aunties ,i was short of time so i begged my sister to make the rice.

when we got to the beach i served everyone , they kept asking me if i did the cooking ,i said no,it was my sister,by the time i got back to the tent the two coolers were empty.

i know some people like the taste of burnt rice and some people are allergic to crayfish in large quantities like that like my grandma and some people will only cook with vegetable oil ,i hate the smell of soya oil so i cook with olive oil cause of health issues.

so whatever works for you.

Just made this quick and easy Egg and Cheese sandwich for breakfast.

used milk cheese this time....
