The Diary Game:23/7/2026: how I prepared budget spaghetti for dinner.

Hello Steemit family ,how are you all doing, welcome to another episode of my dairy post.

Today started with mixed feelings,to be honest ,sale has been very slow on my clothing business since I moved from Lagos to pH,it has been affecting me mentally,it's not easy to start all over again in a new city ,but am still pushing,so to clear my head off ,I decided to cook something simple for dinner (spaghetti ) .

Cooking always helps me feel relieved, think and plan.

The ingredients I used

Spaghetti
Tomato paste
Onions
Maggi
Curry and thyme
Groundnut oil
Salt
Fish

First I heated groundnut oil in a clean pot,

^{pouring my oil into the pot}

Next I added my onions and fry until they were soft and golden

^{added my onions}

Then I added my Sonia tomato paste and let it fry well so the sour will go ,

^{added my tomato paste}

After that I added Gino thyme and Gino powder curry to give it that nice aroma.

^{adding my curry and thyme}

I seasoned the stew with Maggi chicken cubes ,

I had already fried my fish ,so I added it gently into the stew so it won't scatter,added my fish stock and let it simmer for a while

^{adding my fish}

While the stew was cooking,I boiled my spaghetti in a clean water and allow it to cook for 3_5 minutes to remove excess starch.

^{boiling my spaghetti}

After 5 minutes I brought it down from the gas ,drained it in a sieve,

^{seiving the spaghetti}

washed it till the water was clear then poured it straight into the pot of stew
I mixed everything until the pasta was well coated.

And here's the final result

^{food is ready}

A hot plate of pasta with fried fish on top,it tasted so good after a long day.
