Dear Students,

(Hi Florence, 

I'll highlight some things to edit. If it's in red or underlined there is something to add or change.  On the whole, this is very well written, and your improvement is obvious.  I won't get far today (10/21/08).  But it will be a start.)

 We have different types of recipes.  One of them is fufu and soup.  We have yam fufu, plantain fufu and so on.  How we prepare yam fufu with soup, is that we put the hot water on the stove.  After a while we  stir it until it goes to its taste.  After some minutes the fufu is done. Then you can prepare any type of soup you like.

 Names of some soups will cook are:- Egwusi soup (which is made from mellon), Onugbu soup (which is made from bitter leaf), Ogbono soup (which is a draw soup), Okro soup (you gays knows Okro), vegetable soup (which is made with different types of vegetable), and so on.  The soup I like to prepare comes from your favorite soup).  You can use any type of these soup to eat fufu.  For example:- if you are preparing Onugbu soup, you will put some water in a pot, add some stuff you want to put in it like maggi cube not the liquid maggi you used to put in your food when you eat.  Maggi cube is a special sauce we use to cook soup that will give it taste.  Add also chicken, beef, stockfish, dried fish, palm oil, pepper, onions, cocoyam which will thicken the soup.  After putting all these stuff, put it on the stove.  You will be watching it in order to prevent it from been burnt.  You will allow it at least five to ten minutes until all of the stuff are well cooked.  Then you bring the soup out ready to eat.  You will put it in a bowl in order to serve.  Eat this soup with fufu.    

We also cock rice and soup.  This one everybody knows how to cook this.  No need of explaining it.  It is a natural food.  Another food I will tell you about is yam.  In U.S. you have yams.  The yam in my country is different from U.S. yam. You have to use the yams from the African stores in MN. Our yam is has a bitter flavor.  You will peal the back of the yam.  The inner part is white or a little bit milky.  After pealing the yam, you wash it with warm water, after that, you cut into pieces as you like.  Then put it in the pot and add some water.  cook it on the stove until it is ready to eat.  You may allow it for about five to ten minutes by using something like knife or fork to poke the yam when it is on the fire.  When you poke it, it will turn soft showing you that it is done.  You can also add some salt in the yam when cooking if you like.  When eating the yam, you can use soup or you used palm oil with pepper and salt.  I stop so far.  Everybody remain bless.  That all I can say about the recipe in my country.
