Hello Steemians! 👋
Welcome to my blog. I hope you all are having a fantastic week? Today, I want to share how my day went. It was a day mixed with spiritual recharging, some necessary house chores, and, of course, the highlight of the day, cooking a very delicious meal.

Here is how it all went down!

🌅 Morning:

Looking Sharp for Service
My day started quite early. You know, Sundays are for the Creator, so I had to prepare myself both spiritually and physically. I woke up, said my prayers, and did the usual morning hygiene routine.

I decided to bring out the "gentleman" look today. I wore my favorite grey blazer over a crisp white shirt and a black tie. I felt really confident in this outfit.

during the church service

I headed to church, and the atmosphere was peaceful. It’s always good to be in the gathering of brethren. The service was insightful, and I took a quick shot of the church interior while the ushers were moving around.

☀️ Afternoon:

Back to Reality (Laundry Time)
After the service, I came back home and, as much as I wanted to just sleep, duty called. You know "man must neat," right?
I had a pile of laundry waiting for me.

I changed out of my suit into something comfortable and got to work. I soaked the clothes first to make the washing easier. It takes energy, but there is this satisfaction you get when you see your clothes sparkling clean.

👨‍🍳 Evening:

The Chef in the Kitchen
After the laundry, hunger was already "wiring" me. I knew I couldn't just eat snacks; I needed proper food. I decided to prepare White Rice and Beef Stew.

I went to the market quickly to get the ingredients. Here is what I used for my stew:
Fresh Beef

Figo Tomato Paste (for that red color)
Red Onions
Vegetable oil
Seasoning cubes and Larsor Chicken Seasoning (this aroma is top-notch!)
Curry and Thyme

The Process: I washed the meat thoroughly and steamed it with onions and Maggi. While that was boiling, I prepared my stew base. I fried the tomato paste (Figo) to remove the sour taste, then went in with my spices.

Adding the Kitchen Glory spice to the pot and the secret ingredients!

The kitchen was smelling amazing at this point. I let it simmer until the oil floated to the top, that's how you know the stew is ready!

🍽️ The Best Part:👉 Eating!👇
Finally, the work was done. I dished a hot plate of white rice and covered it with my spicy beef stew.

Satisfaction was written all over my face.
Usually, I eat with a spoon, but today the food was too sweet, I almost used my hand! 😂 I sat down outside to enjoy the cool evening breeze while eating. The beef was tender, and the stew was just the right amount of spicy.

It was a simple day, but a very productive one. I fed my spirit, cleaned my clothes, and fed my stomach. I couldn't ask for more.
