About Me
I am Toyin. Teeto is fine. It would remind you of tea, I am sure. I am a lover of green tea and black tea(You wanna lose weight? Try green tea. It burns fat like fast). I love to write. I love to do research. Last but not least, I love to help people with information and what some might call ‘Self-Help’-‘D.I.Y’-‘Now-you-know-Taada’ kind of things. Once its interesting or needful, I will share it here. It can be about anything but I can assure you it will always be useful and applicable. Knowledge is POWER.
Ps-I am also a bit techy, as I Love, Love creating websites/Blogs and putting up quality content. I recently completed a course in Data science and it was such an eye-opener. Every business or corporation needs the benefit of data analysis and predictive models, especially now. I will get into the nitty-gritty of this pretty soon.
I cook a lot, but I am no chef!. I will post some of my food experiments in the kitchen, successes and ‘near-successes’!. Let’s learn together.
Food Mistake: I got bacon from a supermarket with the plan to make baked beans. I had watched some videos on YouTube and it made sense to me. I decided I did not want to make baked beans again and so instead of ketchup, I used palm oil. I cooked my beans and while it was still a bit hard, added pieces of bacon. Oh boy!. My mistake!. The bacon remained hard. Even after adding palm oil and cooking for some more minutes. The bacon was under cooked by the time I was done. There are different ways to cook bacon, but cooking them separate from the beans was the better option in my opinion. The second time I tried it, I simply placed some strips of bacon in a non-stick pan and after about five minutes, over medium heat, I was done. I cooked my beans with palm oil, black pepper and some maggi cubes. Then I added my bacon. LESSON: You can try again.
