The Diary Game: 31st July, 2026. Hungry girl diaries: rice and ukwa

Hello! Family.. hope we enjoyed thank God is Friday (TGIF). It's still your baby girl @Macinova. Let me narrate how I woke up straight to the pot without even praying. God help me. Today was a very hungry day, Let me gist you.

I woke up around 7:00 AM. Normally first thing is prayer, but today? *First thing was to eat because I was hungry. No prayer, nothing* God what really happened? My stomach was already making noise before my eyes fully opened. I didn’t even brush first. I went straight to the kitchen. I checked the pot and saw *leftover rice inside pot* ahhh... God thank, my sister didn't finished the whole rice the previous day from last night. I scooped it, warmed it, and added a little salt. By *7:30 AM I was eating rice inside pot* like it was a 5-star meal. No plate, no ceremony. Just me, spoon, and pot. The rice was sweet and it filled me up immediately. After eating I finally remembered "oh, I should pray" and I said a quick thank you. Then I drank water and went to wash my face.

The day went by slowly. I rested, did a few things around the house. By *2:00 PM* hunger came back again. I didn’t feel like cooking anything heavy. So I decided to *eat Ukwa in the afternoon*. Ukwa and palm oil with a little ugba and pepper(Nigerian Igbo precisely) will relate to this. That’s comfort food. It was warm, soft, and so filling. I ate slowly and enjoyed every bite. Ukwa on a calm afternoon? That’s peace.

Evening was quiet but the Almighty rain started the house, compound and Street was cold. I was inside all through relaxing. By *9:30 PM* tired sat on my bed and reflected. Today was perfect. Then I slept off.

If you enjoyed my story, See you around next time.
Happy weekend!
@Macinova.
