Something New

It’s Tuesday morning and I’m home, playing hookie. I’m not particularly proud to be doing that but I’m glad I picked me first today. Son is at my bake shop, he’s one of the students for the summer holiday baking class for kids. Husband is at work, so I’m home alone… suddenly I have a craving.

It is a weird one. I love to cook and try out new recipes but I’ve never tried this one. I begin to wonder if it would be any good.

First thing I wonder is; has anyone done this before? I check online and there it is…people have definitely made this dish before.

I begin to formulate my own recipe in my head… I’ve got a left over fish pepper soup in the freezer, I will just add it to it.

Then I think of fresh curry leaves…and I remember, Jacob has a small garden by his room. Jacob is the guy who manns our gate and he’s got a small room just by the gate.

I help myself to some curry leaves and some fresh pepper from his garden…I love pepper…hot pepper

One hour later, my dish is ready. I sit back with some cheesy mills & boon to match the mood.

Even if it’s been made by someone before, It’s new to me; Nigerian Jollof Rice/potato and fish
