The Diary Game: How I Managed my Friday at home Cooking Sumptuous Afang Soup//(04-04-2025)//

Greetings dear steemian ladies and happy new month to you all, welcome to my diary blog today, I hope you will have a wonderful time with me here.

Guess what!

Friday has not been my favorite day for cooking but something happened that got me cooking on Friday, normally I usually Cook soup on Saturday which I will have the assistance of people around helping me in carrying out some the chores. Although Friday is the beginning of weekend but its still a working day,saturday is completely off and free day for me but how I turn out to cook on Friday marvels me.

Early morning when I woke up initially I observed my normal short prayer before stepping outside for daily activities, after my prayers I had my shower and brushed my teeth about stepping out for work my brother has dropped money for food which I needed to reconsider the family because there was no food, I went to market

Buying food items in the market

bought all the food items and boarded a mini bus back home,

on getting back home I started plugging Afang leave in our garden washed,

Freshly plugged from the garden

perfectly sliced	plugging out completely from the stick

and sliced it was very plenty because I wanted it to last at least for 4 days, after slicing Okazi leave I plugged water leaf, washed and sliced it too;

these are the two most important ingredients that constitute the soup being ready.

Guess what 🤔 🤔, the Okazi that I sliced was very plenty and I couldn't pound it since it was too much for me, I had to allow it and prepare some other food stuff, when my brother came back from work in the evening he was the one who pounded it

properly pound Afang leave.

After pounding, everything was already set on fire, I steam my meat,fish and ready to cook my sumptuous meal , I added my water leaves so what was left is Afang leave was I put it last and drop my soup down and ready to eat.

Here's how I shared the food to my siblings,we ate it with fufu, fufu is made from cassava

I actually enjoyed the meal although it was stressful

I was exhausted after the whole stress of cooking, but I did love my sumptuous meal
