The Diary Game: A Taste Of Home, Catching Up Missed Gist And Events And Cooking(09-10-2025)

Hi, I'm Blessing Isong known here on Steemit as @blezisong. I'm so loving my journey on Steemit because it has really improved me in terms of writing and taking pictures, I wasn't camera friendly at first but now, I can't go a day without taking pictures for my Steemit activities. Today, I'm here to share more of my diary with you. Waking up in a land that holds your good and bad memories and a place you feel hunger, where hunger cannot be an issue is a great blessing. I've been far from home for some weeks now and I felt excited being able to unite with my good neighbour, her kids and my family again.

If I could have my way, going down to my sister's house to visit her and my nephew is something I would have loved to do that morning but chores was screaming my name. The whole house was dirty, filled with cobwebs and dust and I had to get busy with cleaning. It took me the whole morning to do the clean up and set my room back to standard again, I nearly fainted because of hunger when I was through and didn't waste time but rushed to the market to buy foodstuffs to prepare food.

I got home and began to prepare the meal as fast as I could, I washed the meat, kpomo, and other proteins and steamed. I chopped and pounded okro while steaming the proteins, I added water to the pot of proteins and allowed it to cook before adding red oil followed by the okro, I allowed it to cook for five minutes. I added hot leaf in the pot, and a little oil again. I covered and allowed it to cook for few more minutes before putting off the gas and dishing the soup. Garri was already pre-made and I began eating immediately.

I did a lot of relaxation in the evening and suspended my plans of visiting my sister because I was very tired and needed some rest, I took a small stroll around the environment to catch up with things I've missed out on. I sat with my neighbor when it became dark to tell her of my travel experience and also get gist of events that happened during my leave.

^fruit

I had a long gist and forgot about having dinner before my usual time, because I missed out on having dinner I settled for fruits because there's no way I will go to bed without having my stomach in check. Next task was to make my diary before I can call it a day. it's nice having you read my diary, I do not take it for granted.
