My birthday is the 1st day of the Month of April. The popular "April Fools Day" we joke about everything on that day and prank people for the fun of it. If you know me well that is my typical everyday life. I play too much, laugh too much and clown around even without me knowing. April means to Open it also means Spring. I guess we also know it is the beginning of the second quarter of the year.  I think about my accomplishment over the past year and also the experiences of the first quarter century of my life. In 25 years I understood relationships, friendships, Love, Family and business. I have welcomed new friends and families young and old and I have also said goodbye to loved ones. I have made friends and also let friends go. I have learnt that family isn’t just those related to us by blood but anyone who shows themselves to be there even when you thought you would be alone no matter how minute the issue is. I have appreciated life, drew closer to God, ...

 Hi Everyone, Fried rice is a cousin to jollof rice as we all know and it is also served side by side jollof rice in most Nigerian parties. However, most of the time when fried rice is served it doesnt taste as good as the jollof rice.  Do you know why? It is because it should be cooked in batches and not in mass like jollof rice in other to retain the taste and firm look. As we all know cooking in batches for over 50 to 1000 guest or more will take alot of time and Nigerians most especially the caterers have got no chill while some do not know this secret will and will just cook it making it end up looking mosity.  If you pay close attention you will notice most eatries cook in batches that is the secret to tasty fried rice and even jollof rice to an extent. Personally i really dont like taking fried rice in parties. Jollof is the major Key.  Fried rice is one of the most widely eaten Nigerian food. The process of making fried rice is a bit complicating but w...
