He Knows You!

My recent favourite meal is  Pasta and I love to try out new recipes in the making of my Pasta. 

I feel so confident making any dish with Pasta that I sometimes feel it was created for my hands and mouth to explore and savour.


Whenever any of my friends come around and I get into the kitchen to make some Pasta of course😊, I start with arranging all my ingredients. Did I mention that before cooking, I already have a mental picture of what the end result should look like. 

So, I know already what kind of Pasta I would cook. I know if I want to make a seafood veggies mix pasta or some lemon 'N' ginger meat balls mix pasta or just some plain Pasta. But my friend probably has a different thought or none or simply just expectant of what I would make. 

Pasta is one of the quickest and easiest meal to prepare you know. But in my kitchen, it's probably not that fast!

I cut, dice, slice, fry, mix, blend, massage, sauteé, grate, shake and mix all together. 

My friend wonders and comments, at every stage, this is perfect. Let's just eat. But No, it's not perfect yet to me until I see the end I had pictured. And mind you, it's never the same recipe and waiting time for each  Pasta dish I make. 

Viola!
The Pasta comes out looking beautiful and I see the smile on her face. At this time, she is no longer in a rush. She looks at the perfectly cooked meal in front of her and takes in every aroma and bite.

Does this story resonate?

Sometimes, we are on a process/journey and just like my friend, we are so eager to see the end. But mos times, God isn't just finished yet. He knows you. He is the chef of your life. He decides when you are ready. He knows what form and shape your life should take. He knows what method and waiting period would make or break you. He formed you remember? He knows you and very mindful of you.

Lesson moral:  Just wait and trust that it will come out perfect at his time which is always perfect. 

P.S - He is always on time!

So, here I am on my toilet seat happy to know that you will trust and wait for your Pasta to be ready😊😃



With love,



TA

And oh yes, it's been a minute🙈😀!

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Hello there!

Is it too late to say happy new year😥?! I mean, a quarter in the year 2021 is almost over, so I will let this mushy feeling slide, and let’s say I will pretend like I have been writing and written to you all these while.    Happy? Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...

Killings in South Africa

I read and saw pathetic images of the killings of black foreigners by South Africans who are claiming or angry that these foreigners are taking up all available jobs and congesting available facilities and they also claim they are illegal immigrants. Read up the story captured by Al Jazeera below: 'Thousands of people have attended a march in South Africa's coastal city of Durban in solidarity with the country's foreign nationals.
