MUSIC, FOOD AND ME

I love music. Be it singing, listening to it or dancing to it, I simply love music. There is a very old radio in my house that I'm sentimentally attached to. I'm pretty sure it's older than even my eldest sister :-D, but it is still functional. The knob used to tune to different stations is spoilt, so we replaced it with a pair of scissors or a key or anything. The radio is portable, so we just move it around. It's semi permanent position is in the kitchen. Well, this is mainly because of me. My popsie calls me the kitchen manager, because I'm the eldest in the house now, so I'm in charge of the kitchen. :-).  I love food, mostly the eating aspect, not the cooking. :-). So the radio keeps me company when I'm cooking, washing up or generally fiddling around in the kitchen. Below is a picture of the radio in my kitchen:



The radio is not that bad abi. That radio you see in the picture has kept me abreast of what's happening in terms of music, news, traffic report and general gist. Somehow, with the radio blaring loudly and me shaking my booty while cooking or washing the dishes, time just zooms past and before I know it, I'm through with what I'm doing.

 Below is a plate of fried rice garnished with tomatoes and boiled egg prepared by my humble self :-) and a tray of salad prepared by my sister and I.




I just love the colorful combination of the veggies in the salad. I love colors too. Yummy looking ehhh.......

Merry Xmas to y'all.

  11. lol @ that radio. Thing is, it was probably the most expensive type of radio around at the time it was bought. Ask popsie how many chicks almost fell for him cos of his sound system.

    As for the food, i dont have the patience to garnish food before eating it. i zoom in for the 'kill' immediately food is in my plate!

    @ Ema Leecious: Sorry for making you hungry dear. The plan was to get people eager to cook up a storm this Xmas. No be small thing o as per my radio. It's still very valuable to us.

    @ Buzzer: Correct babe. I can just pix my dad and his friends grooving with the radio. I wouldn't be surprised if that sound system was one of the latest models of that time. Lol @ you zooming in for the kill. No time to waste with garnishing abi.

  16. Che this your radio na 'helele'. Not by the attached scissors; Is that one used to control frequency or it is the antenna. Salads are yummy now. Why dont you like them?Maybe it is the dressing you use. This one looks delish too. And the rice, oh my

  18. @ Okeoghene: Na real helele ooo. ;-). The scissors is used for all of the above. Lol. No mind me and my being choosy about food. I have never tried it and i just feel that i won't like it. I just ate water melon for the first time 2days ago and i LOVED it. I had always hated the smell of water melon, but my sister made me try it and now, i eat it almost everyday. So, this Xmas, I might just try out salad. Who knows...:-)

    @ Muse Origins: Thanks for complimenting my radio. That was a compliment right. :-).
