wow I didn't know all this,I guess same with some of you so what are you waiting for??make it a point of duty to put bitter leaf soup at least once a week in your menu. As for the goat head,i prefer it to beef because it contains little or no fatty content.
My Sunday was also fun,the best part about Sunday ,asides being in the presence of the Lord is the 'Sunday Rice what's your preference? Is it Rice/Stew,Jollof Rice,Coconut Rice, Chinese Rice or Fried Rice??whichever it is just try using banana ,plantain or vegetable salad without cream to go with it,I prefer using banana though,i also had a glass of freshly blended cucumber+orange +ginger juice. It was a healthy weekend after all lol..we should try as much as possible to take care of our health because its one of our greatest assets.. feel free to also share how your weekend was spent and what you learnt from it..
I wish you all a Fruitful and Prosperous New Month.. Bye for now...
