WHY I LOVE FRYING AND EATING AKARA.
This might be a funny article and a short one. And you must be wondering why I’m talking about Akara. Well, I lost content ideas and I just could not think straight because I was stressed.
Frying my delicious Akara this evening gave me something to write about. Let me first note here that I don’t like cooking, but I can cook well. I cook because I need to eat and nothing else.
Back to my Akara gist.
I did not know that you can wash beans, dry it, and grind it. It’s result is a powder that brings forth the Akara I’m eating. The fresh beans can be a lot of stress.
Frying Akara brings me to the understanding that I can go through anything and still come out well baked.
I can go through the heat of the oil of life and still come out shinning as gold.
I can go through the heat and not be burnt.
Seeing the Akara in the hot oil, and it’s dancing regardless of the heat amuses me. Well, it’s the heat that’s making it form into something beautiful. The same thing too applies to me, I can go through that hot oil, dance in it, and still come out unharmed.
Sometimes, when I fry the Akara, I feel that the Akara is smiling at me and I’m smiling back at it. And when I serve it in my plate, I see how calm it is.
It tells me that I can still be happy, calm, and strong in the hot oil.
When I mix the flour, adding my pepper, Maggi and salt, it’s always very light, but where I fry it, it becomes solid and strong. It tells me that challenges are there to make me strong.
Just as my Akara cannot break in the hot oil, I definitely will not break too when life throws hard things at me. They make me strong and solid.
When my Akara is well fried, it looks so beautiful and I can’t just wait to eat it. When I’m done dealing with everything that life throws at me, I come out strong and definitely the world will be there to hear what has become of me. They will all be there and watch me burn and succeed.
When I’m tensed and I don’t know what to do, I mix my Akara and begin to fry. It gives me a ray of hope. It helps me know that I’m not alone, my Akara is with me together in this because I can see it go through the toture of that hot oil pressured by heat.
I learnt something today about frying my Akara. I noticed my Akara was sticking to the frying pan and I was wondering why. I got my answer. Tofunmi told me that it’s sticking because the water I added is too much. It’s strength should be like tomatoe paste. So learn this today.
It’s been a very stressed week for me, but I’m pulling out strong.
I hope you enjoyed my Akara story?
Share with me what you think about it.
