Hello @everyone, I am excited to take part in this contest titled "It's a pleasure for me."

Three activities in life usually give me pleasure which I don't get tired of doing the activities. Activities such as studying the word of God, cooking, and working on my laptop are the three activities that I usually find pleasure in doing. For the challenge to which this post is dedicated, I will be taking you through how cooking food usually makes me feel happy.

When it comes to cooking food I always find joy in seeing myself in the kitchen cooking. My parents brought me up well in this area of my life and most of the time my friends would advise me to open a restaurant, because of my love for cooking food. Cooking is one of the talents that I have and it is my best hobby which I never get tired of doing.

As of yesterday 27 May 2024, I cooked rice and stew which you can see how happy I was in the kitchen cooking. It was a bit late that I began cooking at first when I came back home, I felt so tired and was thinking of going to Marsha restaurant so I could eat, but my mind kept telling me that am a good chef, and suddenly, I stood up and hurriedly went to the market around 4 pm where I then bought the ingredients that I used and prepared delicious (yummy) stew that smells nice and sweet in my neighborhood.

Let me take you on a ride on how to prepare yummy stew.

Cooking Procedure

Whenever you find yourself in the kitchen cooking, you have to make sure your kitchen is kept clean to avoid flies peaching on your food. Also, you have to prepare your ingredients properly by washing them with water. To this.

Wash the meat and put it in a cooking pot, and add sliced onion, maggi, and salt to it and allow to cook for 10 minutes before adding a small quantity of water into it.

While the meat is on fire, begin slicing the fresh tomato, grind the pepper prepare other ingredients, and keep aside.

As soon as the meat is soft enough for eating, get a clean pot and place it on medium heat, pour in a small quantity of vegetable oil, and allow it to heat, then put in a slice of onion and fry for 1 minute. Doing this will give your stew a sweet flavour (aroma).

Add the slice of tomato and fry for 5 to 7 minutes and steadily before adding pepper and sachet tomato and fry. Add spices and other necessary and the meat you have previously cooked with a small quantity of water and cover the pot till it gets thicker. After cooking stew you can then boil white rice and eat.

My stew became ready for eating at exactly 6:13 PM, which I ate and relaxed. I like eating rice and stew which is the reason why yesterday I ate rice and stew. Stew rice is the best for me, and even if I lose the appetite for eating rice, I can use the stew and eat it with bread, beans, or yam. Cooking is indeed one of the activities that makes me feel happy.
