Okay, u guys won't be able to see the individual grains, that's 'cos i used two different brands of rice. I realized the Uncle Bens rice i had wouldn't be enough so i decided to mix it with the Carolina brand. Of course, one cooks faster than the other. It still tasted scrumptous (sp?), but the individual grains didn't come out like it always does whenever i cook jollof rice, at the same time it didn't come out looking like rice pudding (lol), even though it may appear so from the pix (darn camera, i need a 10.0 MP). It was looking too orange, so i decided to garnish it with some green pepper. Reminds me of my Food and Nutrition practical exam back in high school with dem Mrs. Emenike and Mrs. Awurum, teaching us how to design the food, like seriously who cares? The middle was looking too bare, so i made a heart shape thingy in there. Yeah, yeah whatever, i know it doesn't quite look heart-shaped. By the way, i got lots of compliments for my famous shrimp jollof rice. What do u guys think?
