The Diary Game: How I Prepared Dinner For My Family (24/03/2026)

I haven’t prepared a proper meal for 2days now due to stress and I had to rest from cooking. Today I decided to cook but towards evening, i’ve been craving vegetable soup with any solid, I bought vegetables and pepper from neighborhood, I rinse the pepper and grind the pepper using blender. I cut the vegetables and rinse as well. I boil water and pour it to soften the vegetables and I covered it to stimulate it. I get hungry and I went to find something to eat. My daughter prepared yam and egg in the morning and I ate part of it.

Grinding pepper for my vegetable

When I was getting the vegetable ready, I got hungry and I eat from the food my daughter prepared for school in the morning. I left the food preparation to go eat. As I was eating I noticed that the weather changed and hubby spread cocoyam he got from farm outside and I spread herbs too. I quickly eat my food and allow to digest, I then rush outside to go go pack up the things outside . As I was packing up I thought of capturing the weather and the things I packed. I go back inside to get my phone and capture it.

Eating yam and egg here

I arranged the cocoyam inside and I moved the unnecessary things in the store out to make room for the cocoyam, I put in it in a corner close to where air can get in the store and continue with my cooking, i packed the pepper stick and as about to pack the vegetables stick, I see that there’s still vegetables in between the sticks and I remove it and slice with the ones i have in sorted out initially.

The cocoyam packed from outside

After packing it, I noticed there’s still vegetables left from the sliced one on the floor. I sliced it and add to the one already sliced in boil water. And I started my cooking, I get my pot ready, I get the necessary ingredients to cook and I get started. I pour oil inside my pot and allow it to get hot and thereafter i pour onions and allow it fry a bit for the heat of the onions to enter the oil and I poured my locust beans and egusi into the palm oil , I pour the pepper as well and allow it to cook altogether for 5minutes.

The pepper and the vegetable

After cooking for 5minutes, I pour my meat stock and fish into the cooking pot. I give it few minutes and added Knoor cubes and salt. I stir and added my vegetables . I cook for 3minutes and get my vegetables soup ready for any swallow available. I thought of eating my vegetables soup with pounded yam but I can’t pound it with mortal and pestle, I had to wait for hubby to come back from work before preparing for the swallow to eat with the vegetables soup I prepared.
