Fufu Powder

So I'm in the Motherland for xmas and inbetween stuffing my face with yummy ghanaian goodness I managed to get this awesome piece of advice from my mom about fufu powder.




"The trick is to follow the instructions carefully. It will be soft. Don't think you can add less water to make it harder, expect it to be soft. If you don't have a measurement for the cups of water then add it in slowly until it reaches the right consistency. Then have the patience and knead it properly. Also you can cook it in the microwave oh!"

I didn't really catch anything else coz I had visions of light soup and meat floating around my head.

Next recipe...might just be for light soup! Keep your fingers crossed

Juice Cubes



If you love fruit punches, cocktails and mixed drinks here's a little tip to avoid watering down your drinks.


JUICE CUBES!!!



Ingredients

1. Juice flavor. You can have juice that complements the juice in your punch e.g. grape juice for a mixed fruit juice punch. Or you can have the same juice/mixer that's included in your drink.


2. Ice cube tray (clean)

Directions

1. Pour juice into ice cube tray making sure it doesn't go over the line.

2. Freeze

TADA!!

This also sometimes works with alcohol if you mix a little water in before you freeze it. (Though why would you want to do that?)
