My Weekend Recount: I MC’d The Wedding Of A Verastic Reader

I regrettably don't have pictures of the bride and groom. Sorry. I explained yesterday that I couldn't take pictures because of where we were seated. Anyway, my weekend was pretty much same ol,' same ol, except Saturday, the day I MC'd. I spent Friday trying to rest for a Saturday, and I spent Sunday trying to recover from Saturday. Funmie was my plus-one to the wedding, and she almost made me go late. Reason number 64914727 why Igwe is my favorite companion. The wedding was in Bethesda, Read More

iCook: Yams + Egg Stew

There I was minding my own business when Funmie walked into my house with a tuber of yam. Then this happened. It had been so long since I last ate yams, and considering how much I actually love yams, I don't know why I never bothered to get some. Anyway, yam and egg stew will always be welcome in my home. When following my recipe, please keep in mind that the amount of ingredients I'm writing down isn't always accurate, as I don't measure when I cook [most times]. I just go by sight and Read More

iCook: Meatless Efo & White Rice

It's been a minute since I last did an iCook post. Today, I'll be telling you about my meatless efo. This is my first time cooking meatless efo, and I don't think it was a big deal really, but why did I make it meatless? Because (1) I was curious about what it'll taste like, (2) I didn't know if I had goat meat or not, and I was not willing to dig through the freezer, and (3) I didn't feel like going to the African Store to get some. So that's it. I do these posts more for show-and-tell than Read More

My Fashion Disaster

Ladies and gentlemen of Verastic, we have a problem. It appears that I don't like my clothes anymore. Well, I like some of them, but most of them, I'm just not in love with. My favorite clothes are my skirts, and I almost have no problem with them. I love wearing skirts. If I could, I'd wear a skirt everyday. Only a skirt. But that's just how I feel today. Knowing me, I might change my mind tomorrow. After all, it wasn't too long ago that I only loved pants. How the tides have Read More

Give Me One Word To Describe Me & Verastic

It's Friday. I want to ask you something that I've been thinking of asking. And I got the idea from a TV show. I want you, dear Verastic readers to give me a word to describe me and this blog. It may be one word that describes both me and the blog, or maybe you have two words: one for me, and one for the blog. But I'd really like to know. I want to know if I am to you what I am trying to be to you. I was going to give you some words as examples, but I don't want to put ideas in your head, so Read More
