Sometimes you just want to hear something plain. Sounds of water can be like that. When you sit down and listen to a recording of a stream, a river, a small waterfall, there’s not a lot happening that you need to keep track of. There's little difference in the sound, and no pattern to follow. You can just put it on in the background or watch it without knowing anything. Its value might come on a S...

Koi can also identify the humans who feed them. Eventually, they build an association between a person standing near the pond and food. This can cause koi to come to the surface when someone walks up to the pond. They don’t do this with everybody, but they are more likely to react most to people they encounter frequently. Some koi can even be taught to eat out of your hand. Usually this consists o...

The essential ingredients for a good chocolate milkshake are chocolate ice cream, milk, and chocolate syrup. Since the ice cream is what brings most of the flavor and texture here, a good chocolate ice cream is key. A general rule is around three scoops of ice cream per half cup of milk. This will leave you with a thick yet drinkable texture. Chocolate syrup boosts the sweetness and also aids in c...

If you’re like me, I think most would answer that puppy dogs are the cutest animals to ever grace the earth. There is something about their petite size, large eyes and not quite grown up features that captivates. It is readily apparent when you see a puppy just how different it is from an adult dog. Its head is frequently rounder, ears and paws sometimes too big for its head. It’s a physical misma...

Preparing Ghana jollof in the Ghanaian style typically begins by using well cooked meat or fish to add flavor. Most people do season their meat with onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper before cooking the meat. Once it is fried or grilled, it is put aside. Next, the jollof base is prepared with fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, and pepper. The stew is cooked until the raw smell of the tomatoes is...

Young Ghanaian cadets undergo military training, entering a highly structured and disciplined environment, where they learn the basics of drills and commands, moving in formation and teamwork, as well as their respective values and codes of conduct. Some cadets may find it difficult to adapt to this environment from their civilian orientation, for example, waking early morning, maintaining uniform...

Beans stew or slop and bread for Sunday is the ideal meal. It's simple, filling, and easy. The stew can be made cheap with a few ingredients, usually beans, onions, tomatoes, and some oil or flavor. You can use canned beans or pre rinse dried beans. Either way, you will have something soft, warm, and filling. Bread really goes with it, because you don't have to do anything with it but slice it(unl...

When you think about chicken and popcorn, you’re obviously not just serving two foods on a plate. You’re actually cooking these items together in a single process. This is not the same as eating popcorn separately as a snack, and fried chicken as a meal, this is about mixing raw chicken pieces with popcorn kernels and cooking them at the same time so they will both finish cooking at the same time...

Jollof rice, it just does something for me. I don’t know how else to describe it, whenever I imagine food I actually like, it’s always there. It’s not fancy or complicated, but it feels right. I don’t have to convince myself to do it. I just want it There’s just something about the flavor spicy, savory, that deep tomato taste that resonates. It’s audacious without being excessive. When it’s done r...

The afternoon’s stretching with us, sort of lazy. That in between time sandwiched between those experiences breakfast is a fading memory, dinner is far away. Not too hungry, but hungry enough that, when you smell something good, that hunger will go away. Like, someone says fried chicken rice and suddenly it’s really hard to concentrate on anything else. You know the type of place tiny shop, ceilin...

A full pack of spicy seafood instant noodles would generally contain around 450 to 500 calories. And that’s just the noodles and seasoning no additions. That’s not a lot, but it’s not small either, especially when it gets polished off in five minutes during a lunch break or midnight craving. The flavor is robust, a bit salty, sort of addictive. Though your mouth may be on fire and your nose may be...

Rice water is something that you grow up with in many Ghanaian households. So it’s a very basic breakfast, white rice boiled with a lot of water to soften and make the water goes cloudy. It's nothing fancy. But it smells like your favorite something even before you dip in a spoon. The texture is up to you and depends on how long you cook it. Some prefer the grains whole but plump, others let it bo...

The short process of making Gob3. In much of Ghana, particularly around the country’s numerous university campuses and busy towns, Gob3 has become more than just a plate of food. It’s beans and gari, occasionally served with fried plantains, boiled egg or a spoonful of red oil. It’s cheap, it’s filling, satisfying and most importantly it’s easy to find. To younger people, particularly students out...

When I walked through the Royal Golf Course in Kumasi, I felt like I left the country I was in. I just came from Accra where there was so many people, so much movement and way too much sound everywhere and I'm suddenly somewhere different. I noticed it so clearly in a filmed six seconds where I thought deeply about something quiet and meaningful. Sometimes it's when you finally leave the place, wa...

This is more of a test of my first video upload on blurt Media. I would like to thank my friend Charles, @thecreed for helping me out. I just DM the guy, took the day off and all I saw was him tell me to check my mail because my login has been sent. Also I'll thank the team behind blurt Media for giving me an account here. For my first video, well it's something about today and a while ago. Today,...
