Not what I thought
Recently, I decided to try making egg stew after watching a YouTube video about it. I’ve been getting tired of eating the same local foods all the time, so I wanted to try something different. Egg stew seemed like a good place to start. I bought carrots, green beans, and all the other ingredients I needed, excited to prepare something new.
When I got home, I played the video again to follow the steps properly. That’s when I realized the process was way too long for someone like me, who was already hungry and had little patience to begin with. The chopping, stirring, and waiting was just too much for me at the moment.
Hunger was winning the battle, so I boiled one of the eggs I had planned to use for the stew, ate it quickly, and decided to forget about the whole recipe. Cooking something new would have to wait for another day when I had more time and less hunger.
That night, I settled for the easiest meal I could think of, palm oil rice. It wasn’t fancy or new, but it was filling and quick to make. Maybe someday I’ll revisit the egg stew idea, but for now, I’ll stick to what doesn’t leave me starving.
