I peeled, washed and cut my plantain in desired shape into a pot, sliced my onions into it. I pounded my native spices. Washed my pepper, pounded it with crayfish. I washed and seasoned my mfi with salt. I wash and cut my ikpa, washed and deboned my smoke fish. Washed and sliced my vegetable leaf.

I proceeded to put my already cut plantain with onions on fire. Allowed to steam properly, added my fish, pepper and crayfish, covered and allowed to steam. I added my palm oil, mfi and ikpa, allowed to steam, added seasoning cube and salt, confirmed taste. Added my native spices, stirred and allowed to steam. Finally, I adore my already sliced vegetable leaves, stirred and brought the pot down and my porridge plantain was ready. Yummy is an understatement. It was so aromatic 😋

I proceeded to packaged my children lunch, dressed them up because while the food was on fire, I had already finished bathing and serving them breakfast. And of course, they post for my camera before leaving.

In the afternoon, i was still at home since I did not go work. I had plans to cook Afang Soup later that same day so I quickly dressed up and went to buy some foodstuff for my 'afere afang'. So this was me after dressing up.

Before now, I had washed and dry my Afang leaf before taking it to the market for slicing and then proceeded to buy some ingredients for the soup.

I proceeded to buy some if the ingredients for the Afang Soup like;

→ seasoning cubes

Before I finished buying foodstuff, it was already time to pick up my babies from school so I quickly stopped by their school to pick them up. This was me arriving the school, other students and pupils were already leaving the school premises while some were playing.

In the evening, I assisted the kids with their school work and later proceeded to cook my 'afere afang'. I made sure that all the ingredients were handy and proceeded to prepare them one after the other.

I proceeded to washed and cut my waterleaf, washed and pounded my pepper and crayfish.

I proceeded to washed and cut my kpomo, washed and soaked my mfi with salt water, washed and soaked my stock fish with water so it will fastened the softness process. Washed and deboned my panla fish.

I proceeded to pound the main ingredient which is 'Afang' I could have grinded it at the market but no, I wanted to cook it my grandmother way by pounding it with my hands using mortar and pestle. After pounded it, I proceeded to cook my 'Afang Soup ' and it came out wonderfully tasty😋

I served dinner to the family with my yummicious yummy 'Afang Soup' everyone ate to their satisfaction. After eating, I rested and then proceeded to take a shower and retired to my bed.
