Yamarita (Egg-coated Yam)

Yamarita

“Yamarita is a dish made from boiled yam dipped in whisked egg, then fried till golden brown. I often make Yamarita when I have leftover boiled yam from the previous day’s meal. Yamarita is often served with any hot dipping sauce or stew. Most fast food joints in Nigeria serve hot Yamaritas daily.” –  Dobby, Dobby’s Signature

  3. Hello there! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.

  21. Good day! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?

I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!|

  27. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
