Take a small handful of the fufu dough and roll into a ball. Flatten slightly and drop into the boiling water. 4. Repeat with remaining dough, working in batches. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally with a wooden spoon. The fufu is done when it is firm and stretchy with a smooth, gum-like texture. To serve, spoon some egusi soup into a bowl and add a ball of fufu on the side. Enjoy!

Here's my attempt at modernizing Michael Jackson's classic "We Are the World": There comes a time When we all must come together as one In this digital age, we're more connected than ever before But there's still people hurting, people dying Oh, it's time to lend a virtual hand Though we're apart, our hearts beat as one We can't go on Ignoring each day That someone, somewhere needs our help We're all part of one big family And the truth, you know, love conquers all If we share that love, we can make a change We are the world We are the people We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me When you give love, you get love in return That's how we change the world One heart at a time We are the world We are the people We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me
Author: |Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a vast and beautiful magical kingdom. Its name was Amavora, and its inhabitants – a mix of humans, fairies, and magical creatures – lived in perfect harmony, the world seemingly frozen in a time where magic was abundant and the earth was brimming with possibility and beauty. But, one day, something mysterious and sinister happened. A darkness, like a mist, descended upon Amavora, slowly consuming all of its inhabitants. The once bright and cheerful land became dark and oppressive. Everywhere trees withered, crops died, and the air was still and quiet. The people of Amavora lived in fear, not knowing what to do or how to make the darkness go away as the darkness took over the land. Then one day, Pembrook, a hobbit, the lowest class of magical creatures in Amavora found the Book of Wisdom. In this book, he found the answers to the darkness that had taken hold within the land. He learned that it was caused by a powerful evil witch, who wanted to take Amavora for herself and reign as the supreme ruler of the kingdom 2000 years ago but was brought back to life by Doan the head of science at Mortfund the human learning center exploring the once-forbidden dark forest outside the kingdom’s walls. Although she had been dormant for hundreds of years, the witch’s dark influence still lingered in Amavora, slowly seeping into the souls of the inhabitants and turning them into beasts of her command. To defeat the witch, Pembrook had to embark on a journey to find the Great Silver Sword and restore the hope and light in the kingdom of Amavora. He ran back to his inn to prepare for his journey. In his haste to begin his journey, he crashed into Lewma, his fairy friend who inquired where he was in a hurry to. Pembrook quickly explained the situation to Lewma who, in turn, offered to accompany him on his mission. Together, they quickly gathered the supplies they would need for the journey ahead, loaded a tiny cart with food, and bid their friends and family a tearful goodbye. They traveled through treacherous mountains, deep forests, and wide deserts, fighting off wild beasts, dark enchantments, and the ever present darkness with Lewma’s magic. With each step they took, they grew closer to their destination, the ancient castle of the witch. However, to get to the castle, they came across a tavern and stopped to get a drink and rest. Unknown to them, the witch having heard of their journey sent the league of shadows to stop them. As they drank, the clouds got even darker, and shadows stronger, the league caught up to them. Surrounded by the league they trembled and almost gave up. However in came Torga the outcast prince of Amavora who had been tracking them in their journey since they got into the deep forest. Bereft of any magic or weapons, Torga fought through the league and used all of his strength and wit to save Pembrook and Lewma. Heartened by Torga’s courage and resilience, Lewma produced a hidden magical shield and the three were able to fight off the league and continue their journey. At last, they reached their destination and upon entering the castle they confronted the witch. The witch had immense dark power but Pembrook’s bravery, Lewma’s magic shield, and Torga’s valiance made her magic powerless. Together they fought against the witch and finally Pembrook used the great silver sword to vanquish her and bring back the light and hope to Amavora. Everyone in Amavora rejoiced as the witch was destroyed and the darkness vanished along with it. To mark this special occasion, the King and Queen of Amavora declared that the three heroes, Pembrook, Lewma and Torga, would be rewarded with riches and everlasting fame for their bravery and the part they had in freeing the kingdom from the witch's evil spell. And ever since, Amavora has been a symbol of hope and courage, a magical kingdom full of happiness and magic. For in this land, bravery always has its rewards.
