Hi friends how are you doing today, it's Another great year and also another season Altogether. I have really missed you guys so much because you really mean a lot to me and my family , I believe what am about telling you this morning you would love to hear it although it was last year Christmas 2021 and this is 2022@salvictoria22 happy New year.i just thought of bringing this here to you how my Christmas was spent between me and my family it was indeed a good one ,a great time to be with my family most importantly to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It was indeed a memorable day to talk about and also to tell people who doesn't Recognize that day as a special day, now after going to church and back I started preparing different kinds of dishes with my child Teaching her how to cook though it wasn't an easy one the procedures and all.
ITEMS USE IN PREPARING THE STEW
- Fresh tomatoes/ Thin tomato
- onion
- Maggi
- pepper
- salt
- groundnut oil
- meats/chicken,goat meat,cow meat
- stew spices
Any one of your choice.
PROCEDURES ON HOW TO PREPARE STEW
STEP 1:
Firstly I thought my child how she should wash the meat properly with sprinkled salt and water after that you stem, now it is depending on the kind of spices you use that could give you a particular taste of your choice. While steming you start preparing the other items that you will use to prepare your Stew you must have had your onion slice already with your blended crayfish and other items as followed .
STEP 2:
Secondly you put your pot on fire when it's dry you pour your groundnut oil, allow it to get hot for about 3to 4 or 5 minutes after which you put your blended tomatoes.note this after blending your fresh tomatoes you can as well sieve before putting or stem allowing the water from it to drain down not allowing to get burnt.now after all this process has been carried out, in other to make it a little bit plenty I had to remove my tomato paste from the thin and put it in a plate with water added on it. to make it look lighter and then I start stirring them together while doing that for about 3 to 4 or 5 minutes, you start putting the required items to make it tasty and a nice aroma. After which you put your onion with your meat sauce and allow it to boil for about 10 to 15 minutes, then your delicious stew is ready. Now talking about the preparation for the Rice, the demanded items are not much so you just have parboil after that you wash properly and put it back on fire with salt and water in other to make tasty you have to your slice onion and Maggi and then it gives it a nice aroma.
THE REASON FOR TEACHING MY CHILD HOW TO COOK
Now the reason why I am teaching my child how to cook, is because she won't be a left out Among her peers and whenever she has the opportunity. This is to widen up her intellectual aspect of life, though she might not understand what it is and how it is although it takes a gradual process because there are different ways and patterns of cooking I believe this time around creativity is the best answer for our kids they might not get it now but as time goes on they get to learn more,i believe consistent teaching goes a long way and creativity is very vital in the life of a child though it might not be an easy one but I believe as Time goes step by step they got to with the instructions given to them, this year is a great year that splendid ideas should be given from parents to child.
