Food For Thought

1. FEEL mad. Don't ACT mad.

2. When you stop talking to people,

stop talking about them too.

3. Never tolerate disrespect, nor lower your
standards in hope that people will love you
when you please them all the time

4. What people think of you has nothing to do
with what you think about yourself.

5. Time and hardship reveals your worth to
people. Choose people who choose you
no matter what.

6. It's a new year. A new chapter.
If you don't like the plot of your life story,
you can rewrite a new one.

7. Disagree to an idea you dislike.
Do not dislike the idea because you don't
like the person.
8. Respect people even if they don't deserve it.
If you can't, then at least be silent.

9. Do not engage in an argument with people
who always think to be right.

10. Good people can make bad choices
and bad choices can make good people too

Keep following and eat healthy 💯

EGG ROLLS NO BE SCOTCH EGGS!!!!
STOP CALLING SCOTCH EGGS EGG ROLLS (Egg buns)

Before I joined baking/catering, I'm used to calling egg buns scotch eggs. Though the prices aren't same and scotch eggs can be seen in eateries but I still see it that it's because it's an eaterie that's why it's more expensive, forgetting to ask myself why it's not popularly seen on roads by hawkers.

Then I joined baking business and my eyes opened!😂
The two doesn't relate. They don't even have same color , taste or procedures. Though the two are fried with groundnut oil but the recipes aren't same.

Now let me give you two different receips of egg buns popularly known as egg rolls and scotch eggs.
1: Egg buns is mainly made of flour. Flour is used to cover the body of the eggs before frying!
But scotch eggs is made of meat! Well prepared crushed meat. I call it "big man meat" this meat comes with no single bones in it.
2: The flour meant for egg buns is moulded to cover the body of the egg! But the meat used for scotch eggs isn't moulded. You just take a little if not tiny piece of the meat to cover up the egg.
N.B your hands must be covered with flour so It doesn't look rough.
If you need more teachings concerning these two, you can come to my inbox ❤️

I hope I've been able to convince you that egg buns and scotch eggs aren't same?? .
Please stop calling scotch eggs (egg rolls) and egg rolls (scotch eggs).
God bless baking jobs!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
