Hi everyone, welcome to another diary session with yours truly @ruthyvelly. In today's episode of my diary session, I will be sharing with you how I spent my day.

Initially, my plan wasn't to stay at home without going to church, but my plan scattered when my sister came back from work very late, which wasn't the time she usually comes back. The most annoying part of the whole thing is that I ironed the cloth I planned to wear to church very early in the morning, and I also arranged everything I was supposed to go to church with including my shoe, bag and scarf. While waiting for her, I joined my nephew in watching cocomelon so as to distract him from disturbing me.

After some time of waiting, she finally came back, and the reason for her coming back late was because she went to market. She took him from me while I headed to the kitchen to cook. I untied the things she bought and saw that it was meant for stew. Meanwhile, the protein she bought is called 'kpomo or kanda' in my native language.

I actually wanted something slightly different, so i prepared the stew with red oil and not groundnut oil. Let you take you through the way i prepared this and the final outcome.

I started off by boling my protein, which i added some seasoning to it, and on the other end, I was blending my tomatoes and pepper. There was no light initially, that was why i wanted to make use of mortar and pistol before they brought light. When I noticed that my protein was almost done, I took it down, then placed my pot on the hot plate. I went in with my red oil and allowed it to heat very well before pouring in my blended tomatoes and pepper, I also allowed it to fry for some time while stirring it. When I noticed that it had fried to my test, I went in with my seasonings and ingredients, waited for some time before adding my stock and some water to it. I allowed everything to boil very well while testing and adjusting the test before I added my protein, then allowed everything for some minutes to cook together before taking it off the fire. On the other hand, I was boiling rice equally while cooking the stew.

I dished out the food, even though i had it as lunch and not breakfast due to the time i was done cooking. I actually enjoyed the food because it was delicious.

After eating, i took my dirty clothes outside to wash them.

When I was done with everything, i brought out my study book, went to a course I was learning online, and went through the things that were taught. I felt dizzy along the line, so i had a nap. When I woke up, i continued with the course.
