Ok o, off politics and #NigeriaDecides2015 for a bit and a look at one of my all time favorite topics - food. Yesterday for instance, Chez Moi, we had white rice and stew. What was new? I had heard a lot about made in Nigerian rice and had heard it being joked around that this was Abakaliki rice. So, had specifically gone on a hunt for this rice with a good friend and turned up Ebony Rice. A proudly made in Nigeria product, it had been in the market for well close to a year now alongside other made in Nigeria brands. So, I bought. And I cooked. And while I love the nutty taste of Abakaliki rice and would not have minded if this was well packaged Abakaliki rice as we know it. This rice however, turned out to cook just like American long grain rice. It would beat the best imported rice hands down and had a smokey quality to the taste (actually, I burnt it a little bit as I was cooking it so....) Enhen, where were we? If you need to gift rice to orphanages, family and friends this season, please go for Ebony Rice. Buy Nigerian! Eat Nigerian! You may not like your President, but love your country and be proud of the best that comes from it. ebonyagro/ Away from rice now. If you love vodka and you love cake and want to try the two together, here is a recipe for Vodka Christmas Cake I lifted off my favorite foodie group on Facebook - So You Think You Can Cook. Bon apetit! ============================================================ Once again this year, I’ve had requests for my Vodka Christmas Cake recipe so here goes. Please keep in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year! (Made mine this morning!!!!) 1 cup sugar, half pound butter, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup water, 1 tsp. salt , 1 cup brown sugar, Lemon juice, 4 large eggs, Nuts, 1......bottle Vodka, 2 cups dried fruit 4 cups self rising flour. Sample a cup of Vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Vodka again to be sure it is of the highest quality then Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Vodka is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor, wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver Sample the Vodka to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the Vodka. Now shit shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Dont forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the fekin window. Finish off the Vodka and wipe the counter with the fekin cat.
