How to make Pap/Ogi/Akamu - Hot Corn cereal.

The other day I had a craving for one of my favorite meal and couldn't find it to buy anywhere in Ottawa. So I decided to make it from scratch....Yes! I went to the African grocery store and bought dry corn. I brought them home, washed and soaked for three days and then blended it into a fine smooth paste. I went to fabric-land and bought 2 meter white chiffon fabric to sieve the paste. Sieving takes out the starchy part of the corn and removes the chaff. It took me hours......but I was determined. I let the starch and water settle for some hours and the end result? Amazing, creamy, soft pap!!!! I was very happy, it took me days to finally eat what I was craving, but boyyyyy was it worth it. See Pictures below... Enjoy!

Nelson Mandela, from Prison to Palace.

I visited the prison cell Nelson Mandela stayed in while he was incarcerated in Robben Island, South Africa. I must confess, it was a small, dingy, uncomfortable space, just looking at it made my skin crawl, It made me wonder how he made it all those years, how his spirit was not weakened, how his faith still stood strong, how his believe in his people and country did not waver? How?
