Konga Logistics These were supposed to be the star of our christmas decorations. My kids anticipated its arrival and so we shipped from Lagos to Abuja on the 5th of December 2024 (i mean… what could go wrong! Its 20days to Christmas). But guess what? reluctantly delivered it today 10th January 2025 after the shipper had to physically travel from Lagos to Abuja to locate their office and ask them to deliver. Such a disappointment it was after all the planning. At some point i had to be calling and begging the riders assigned to deliver and they will say they can only get it to Jabi o, unless i drive down to jabi to pick it up from them (about 35minutes drive o). Parcel that i paid home delivery for o 🫢. What a shame!

My craving right now 😊

I’ll tell you something from experience, yes pressure pot softens beans, but the texture of the beans when you soak the beans in slightly hot water for like an hour before cooking is on another high 😊.

So what soaking does is, it gives the dried beans time to slowly swell and in most cases, this makes it retain its form even after getting very soft. While on the other hand, starting off with pressure pot forces the beans to soften real fast without allowing time to swell and this can make the bean seeds burst and get marshy fast.

So if you have some extra time to spare but depending on the texture of beans you prefer at a given time, presoak your beans before cooking 👍🏼.

I saw this rice at the market in Warri for the first time. It’s called 3 brothers. My curiosity made me buy a cup to go try.
I am yet to try it.

Just before the hike in the price of pepper, i bought a basket of this pepper and noticed it had a very nice scent plus it was super hot and red so i went back and bought 2 more baskets and dumped in my freezer. 4 days later, i started hearing 1 seed of pepper was now being sold for 50 naira each 🧐. I am glad i did that and also to say do you know this is a fantastic way to store tomato and pepper as well if you have some level of good power supply!

I usually prefer basmati rice for stir fried rice. But this rice is big bull product and it was not bad at all! Really came out well, both in taste and texture. Do you have a recommended brand that comes out well for fried rice too?
