Done With Medical School! (Med school photoshoot with my med school family)

2015-05-19T23:58:00.000-04:00

So my last day of medical school fell on my birthday this year, 2015. If that isn't a great gift, I don't know what is. All I can say is thank God.

First stop, Guggenheim museum.

Onto the next site, Bethesda Terrace, NY

Now off to the Brooklyn Bridge

But first, let's take a selfie...

Very tired at this point.

Finally, the bridge

And it's a wrap!

Baking TurnUp In The Kitchen ~ Nigerian Cuisine

2015-05-19T22:55:00.001-04:00

So, since I've been missing in action for the past two years or so, I thought I'd update what I've been baking with some of my friends. Here are the products of our fun in the kitchen. Enjoy!
1) Cake with some nice vanilla icing for Sandra on her birthday.

2) Meat pies made with butter vs shortening

3) Some good 'ol puffpuff made by Ayo

4) Home made pizza

5) Actually made this bread one Friday during Surgery rotation.

6) Good 'ol cornbread. Made the ones in the cupcake for when I'm on the go.

7) Introducing Emy's handiwork! Perfect for our girls' night.

and Sele's birthday cake!

8) So we found that link and made our very own Easter bunny cake! Artwork by Emy of course!

9) Oatmeal cookies with some craisins. Great source of fibre and was my breakfast for a short while.

10) Meat pies made with a little too much shortening. The crust was super-crusty, but honestly, the best crust I've had. Emy was on that minced turkey level, so we made both.

That's all folks!

How To Make Fried Rice (Turkey)

2015-05-19T01:12:00.000-04:00

Ingredients

Non-sticky parboiled rice
Turkey breasts (chopped)
Onions and Garlic(chopped)
Bell peppers
Sweet corn
Vegetable oil
Hot pepper (chopped)
Seasoning (I love Knorr, but Adobo or any other seasoning will do, thyme, etc)

WHAT TO DO:

1) parboil the rice & at the same time parboil the diced turkey pieces separately (just enough to get some stock)

-Add to the diced turkey: Knorr cubes or Adobo all-purpose seasoning, chopped onions, curry, thyme, rosemary.

2) while those are parboiling, cut up the onions, bell peppers and crush the garlic

3) Put some oil in the pan and when it's hot, fry the parboiled turkey until brown

4) Add the chopped onions and hot pepper and crushed garlic and fry

5) Add all your vegetables (chopped bell peppers, sweet corn, mixed veggies or chopped carrots) then season with knorr cubes/Adobo/ other seasoning, plus curry, thyme, basil, rosemary.

6) Add the turkey stock (or stock from whichever meat you're using) and add the parboiled rice (wash away the starchy water). It's preferable to add the stock in little amounts as the rice cooks, so you don't add too much, leaving the rice mushy.

7) Stir evenly and leave on low heat, stirring intermittently and adding stock as needed. Store extra meat stock in freezer for other purposes.

8) Enjoy with some extra turkey on the side.

New Yorkers on the subway...in rush hour

2014-11-27T00:50:00.002-05:00

Does anyone else wonder why New Yorkers just loooove to crowd themselves at the door of the subway cars? I mean, if there's no space in the isles of the train cars, I get it. But you see lots of people don't even get the chance to get on because people don't want to walk 2 more steps into the isles. Well, whenever I see that going on, I squeeze myself in anyway, because I have places to get to and no time to waste. Life is too short for that.

ps: don't get me started on the "train standers". aka people who like to stand and wobble through the whole journey when there are several seats available. I just don't get that.

Nigerian Independence Day Jollof

2013-10-11T22:09:00.000-04:00

So I went to the Nigerian parade for the first time in NY this year. It was fun, something exciting to do other than study. But other than that, barely noticed. Hopefully the time will come when we'll look forward to more than jollof-rice on independence day. God help our country.

Since I have an extra day at home, I had to go to get some yeast today, knowing there'll be some extra action in the kitchen. I'll post the pizza pictures tomorrow. Have to get some studying done tonight then, if not, I'll be a guilty chef tomorrow. :D

I saw this on a facebook page called "I love to cook/I love to eat" or something like that. I found a couple of creative things there that I decided to challenge my "kitchen skills" with. Here we go!

and voila!

Grand Anse beach, Grenada.

2013-02-10T17:39:00.001-05:00

It was the beginning of fifth term in Grenada, so I decided to go to the beach with a couple of friends. Look at how stress-free I am here. I hope I can say the same after July. Anyway, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, Amen!

And I got to play some volleyball too, so it was just perfect :)
