STEEMALIVE PRESENT: A MEAL, A DAY. 5-DAYS COOKING CHALLENGE. CONTEST PRIZE:50 STEEMS (ALL4ONE) BY @nsikakedem.

Hello great steemians, I'm very much excited to be a participant of this awesome food cooking challenge. It really has been an amazing experience to cook this days at home just to be a part of the contest.

My bachalor's life most time forces me to eat some where in a restaurant or eatery depending on how tight my day gets but this days I'm forced to cook at home consistently. Today I had to prepare nkong the one we normally call vegetable soup.

The whole deal started when my mum sent pumpkin leaves and water leavesacross to me because of the food selection on my health. I had to go to the market to buy, meat, palm oil, onions, garri and other things that could give me a delicious meal. I took to time to select the vegetables and sliced them into small pieces.

I took time to wash the meat and steam it properly with pepper, salt, maggi and onions. The sent was just too much in the compound and I felt like the Landlord, funny right? When the meat was well steamed with the little water I added. I then added, fish, grey fish and water suitable for the soup. I had to wash the periwinkle I got from the market. Maggi along side with other stuffs were added. I discovered the meat was very small after steaming. I felt like going back to get my balance from the man.

I allowed the whole stuff to boiled for a while, I then added the water leaves. I had to allowed it to boiled before adding the pumpkin leaves. At this point, I added palm oil, salt and maggi. Tasted it to be very sure that it was okay. A friend of mind was in the house with me. She was very surprised to have me cook without calling on her to assist me, not even to pound. I was satisfied during the cooking process. I prepared garri to go with since I don't really like fofo. I had to dish the meal for her to join me in eating and she recommended that the soup was very delicious.

The contest is really pushing me back to my kitchen. It's more satisfying to eat what I cooked than what is cooked outside there. Thanks so much to @steemalive for the contest.
