MY TORTURERS DON BOW FOR ME!
I had no idea that I would still lose any weight. Truth is that I expected to add because I cheated on Saturday and Sunday when I had a cob of corn on each of the days. I had driven outside Lagos on Friday to attend a meeting at the Lagos Business School and coming back was when temptation slipped in... Fresh oka and ube lined the road from sellers who were obviously just bringing the fresh cobs in from the muddy farms. And it was a rainy day... My people, who can resist freshly boiled corn and ube on a rainy June evening. Check am!
So that was my weekend o! But I apparently have a new understanding about eating my last meal early. I believe that was what worked for me. So I got in to find only my new chief torturer, Mary, at the "shrine". She eyed me up and down as if to visually assess me before I stood on their "hateful" scale. "I ate corn o!" I blurted out as if I was at the confessional. Then her look over turned caustic as she entered into the register, "She ate corn!!" I said, "Ah! Can't I tell you something in secret? You sef!" "Madam, stand for scale, make we check!" I did and...
I DROPPED ONE MORE KILO!!
Go Lomsee! Go Lomsee!!!

Great work, Ulo!! Hang in there, we're all rooting for you. Thank you for passing on the Wednesday witch brew.
On another note, is there a way you can package corn and ube to me?
Lol!...Jisike o!....this oka na ube thing is bringing tears to my eye o!...i second ijeoma's question biko?...akpri ube egbuolam o!chai!...
oka and ube - the perfect combo. I third Ijeoma's question....lol. Nice one, keep it up!
I am so sorry guys. This was really insensitive of me! You guys (in diaspora) have no idea how soft and delicious the corn is at this time. How the women roast them as the rain drizzles... How the Ube is better when roasted so that some parts are crunchy and burnt then soft and tart inside. You have no idea how the whole house smells of corn as you boil it and the children begin to ask impatiently, "Isn't it ready?"
LOL!!! You know I would package them if I could. Ndo nu!
