Happy new and beautiful year to every single lady in this wonderful community.
Finally the long awaited contest is out and I will like to start with the first one because it remains me of a particular thing that I did this year which I've never done before .
To be sincere I've learnt alot of things this year but I've also learnt a wonderful thing which I would like to share with everyone and also I will like to share my experience with my mom when I travel back home after the festive season.
During this festive season I learnt how to pounds fufu which is a traditional food that looks like semolina .
Fufu can be taken with any soup of your choice but I love it with okro soup that has a lot of meat and fish in it.
To produce fufu looks easy but to be frank is not,
Especially when you're pounding it,
There are different procedures to producing a sweet and nice fufu but people appreciate the pounded ones.

me pounding for the very first time
first of all you have to soak your cassava in the water for 3-4days ( some soak it with the back and some without the back)
After the three days ,you will notice that the whole cassava has melted, then you just need to sieve it with water
After which you will put the sieve cassava into a bag that will allow the water to go out and allow the water to drain out ( this process can take two day depending on the quantity of the cassava)
the cooking process
- After the drainage of the water , you then have to cook it .
The cassava is usually cooked two times and everytime you cook it you have to pound it meaning that you have to cook it first and then pound it and then you cook it again and then pound it again which is the most tedious part of the whole process.
Taking it with the soup of my choice
The cassava takes time to set meaning you have to pound it very well
- Lastly you can take it with any soup of your choice
Most people here especially in this village don't play with these, infact they produce the quantity that will last for a week.
Am very happy to have learnt this new skills and I will also like to learn more,
This particular skill has and will benefit me in many ways
as a lady I can now produce fufu by myself for my family and am very much excited about it
So by next year I will like to learn new skills, new habits like how to make friends , new method of cooking and much more.
Thanks for reading@yummycruz1
