Nigeria: Shocking !!! Police Discover 40 Feet Well Stored With Petroleum Products in Lagos
Residents of Lagos were last week shocked when photographs of a 30/40 feet well stored with petroleum products were beamed on their televison screens. In fact, more shocking was the fact that the well was originally dug for purposes of supplying water to a wood producing factory only for it to be cleverly converted into fuel dump.
Pampered Chef Barbie Cake
I think that making a Barbie cake is a bit of a rite of passage for those of us with daughters. I just made my first one for my middle daughter s fourth birthday a few weeks ago. I m not cake decorator, and the results weren t beautiful that is NOT my cake in the picture, but it was definitely well-received. On New Year s Eve, I saw a Barbie in our host s sink and guessed correctly that she had just made one for her daughter s birthday as well. You can find a lot of great recipe ideas for these cakes online, but I think that Pampered Chef is the gold standard. They offer this recipe on their Web site at pamperedchef.com. You can purchase their famous Batter Bowl which makes the dress of the cake for $15 here. I use this product all the time since it can be used for both mixing and baking. Check out allrecipes.comfor tons of fun pictures and ideas for making this work.
Spinach Ricotta Bites
Lucky me that I have a cousin with two growing boys who loves to cook and feed her kids healthy foods. She makes a version of this recipe in a pie dish and has been trying to convince me that her boys absolutely devour it whenever she makes it for them. Although I sometimes find statements like that hard to believe when we re talking about green foods and highly independent little boys, Im always game for recipes that defy the odds. I decided to take my cousins original recipe, make a few tweaks to the ingredients and then cook them in mini muffin cups instead of a pie dish, because it cooks faster and after all, what kid doesn t like something mini. As for my my initial doubts about the kid appeal of this recipe, after watching Kenya repeatedly walk by the cooling rack to grab three of them within 15 minutes and Chloe scarfing down four at dinner, I realized these could be one of the all time greatest kid and parent friendly recipes I ve ever made. Delicious, healthy and SO easy to make. My cousin gets total props for this kiddy culinary hit!
