......Pancakes

A thin flat cake of batter usyally turned and fried in a pan...shikena( thats pancake).loool
Pancake is one of the fast breakfast or brunch anyone can prepare. It takes less than 5 minutes to mix the batter and start frying. You can decide to have it with orisirisi ranging from honey, to jam, cheese, the list is edless hmmm......my mouth is all watered up writing this. See recipe below.
 
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of milk; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more milk. Cook on a hot, greased griddle, or fry in a non-stick frying pan using very very little oil. Cook until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom; turn and brown the other side.
 

EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY........

SO I READ SOMWHERE, ‘I’LL RATHER BE A CONCIOUS MANIPULTOR THAN AN UNCONCIOUS VICTIM…… SOME DAYS LATER, I READ FROM ANOTHER I’L RATHER WANT TO BE SURPRISED WHEN….(FILL IN THE GAP) COMES, THAN SECRETLY SMILING THAT MY LITTLE SCHEME WORKED.
OKIES, SO WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK? CONCIOUSLY MANIPULATING SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU WHICH EVER WAY TO ARRIVE AT A DESIRED END, OR WAITING PATIENTLY TILL EVERYTHING WORKS OUT?
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE POINT AT WHICH WE ARE IN OUR LIVES, TO A VERY LARGE EXTENT, IS THE RESULT OF DECISIONS WE HAVE MADE OR NOT MADE OVER TIME.
WE ARE PRODUCTS OF OUR CHOICES.
THERE ARE MOMENTS IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE REACH A CROSS ROAD, BITTER, CONFUSED, ANGRY, OR FRUSTRATED, EVEN HAPPY, BUT THECHOICES WE MAKE DETERMINE OR HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE REST OF OUR GOD GIVEN LIVES.
I READ IN THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE THAT "THERES IS A SPACE BETWEEN A STIMULUS AND RESPONSE". AND GOT THINKING, THAT SPACE IS THE CROSSROAD, AND IN THAT SPACE(THE POINT AT WHICH A DECISION MUST BE MADE) LIES OUR GROWTH AND HAPPINESS. SO IN THAT SPACE WHAT DECISION ARE YOU MAKING, WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE STIMULI?
THIS IS ANOTHER YEAR, FIVE DAYS GONE OUT OF 366 DAYS. WE NEED GOD MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE.
AND IN THIS TIME OF FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL, BOKO HARAM, AND OTHER SOCIAL VICES, WHEN OTHERS ARE SAYING THERE IS A CASTING DOWN, WE CAN DECLARE BOLDLY THAT FOR US, "THERE IS A LIFTING UP".
 WHEN THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN OUR HEART'S, LET US SEEK A GOD WHO SEE’S WHERE MENS FRAIL EYES CANNOT’’

GET UP NOW!!!!!!!

  
There is a time to dream, but you must know when to snap out of your dream and turn it into reality.
This is January, and you are still thinking, this is the begining of the year, as if its not yet time to get something done.
But the year is already rolling. Time waits for no one. This has made me realize, that if i must succeed, i must make thing happen.
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to take action.
You must not wait till you feel like doing it. If you have to wait till you feel like, then you would likely wait forever.
You must do something for you everyday. You must add value everyday.
A foolish person always dreams of being a millionaire, but refuses to lift a finger. There is no point dreaming, if you cannot bring it to reality.
Your brilliancy and intuitiveness is not a substitute for the neccesity to work hard.
You've got to take action. Nothing good comes easy.
You've got to get up and prune your own garden. You've got to go through your struggles and shed your tears.
You've got to act NOW.
A tommorrow person accomplishes nothing today.
