Chapter 227 Ben Cares❤️

      I sighed and walked to the kitchen to cook for myself,I need to feed my tummy badly. I had only one thing in my mind and that's potatoe squash, Gina's favorite dish,I like to eat it but it's not my favorite.

    Let me try something new but the fact that I don't have the strength was something else. I want to eat squash and it will take me time and energy but my strength is directing me to go eat burger and a glass of milk. I am not eating shit again. My lazy ass should be up and doing.

    Whether I have the strength or nothing,I am going for squash. I do know that before billions will be counted,I will finish with the preparation. Potatoe squash is not a dish for everyone,not so many people knows about the dish and the few that are aware of it don't fancy eating it. 

     The first time I tasted it was the day after Gina parked into the neighborhood. I had gone to visit her and she has insisted I joined her,I would not have rejected the offer anyway because I was looking for means to be more than just a friend to her and thank heavens,we clicked in no time. Next time I visited she taught me how to prepare the squash and from time to time I had prepared it not because it became my favorite but because I want to eat what my goddaughter eats.

  Standing here was not going to bring my squash to me. I set to prepare lunch/dinner for myself.

   I gathered my potatoes from under the counter into a bowl and walked over the sink to wash them. Things like this are best washed before peeling to lower the risk of having to come across sand while eating. I don't know about others but my potatoes, plantains and yams are washed with the back before I peel them.

    Having washed it,I began to peel it. In no time I finished and cut it into the pieces I went to the sink and rewashed it before putting it inside  a pot,I switched my electric stove on and placed the pot on it.

    Potatoes don't take time before it's done so instead of me to wait for it to get done before preparing my eggs,I decided to get my eggs and tomatoes for my sauce ready and then wait for it.

     I picked two eggs from my fridge,broke it into a bowl and beat it to my taste,I added little salt and black pepper to it. I took 10 tomatoes out of the fridge,washed it then sliced it. By the time I was through with all that,my potatoes were ready and I brought the pot down then switched off the burner.

   I sieved the water out of the potatoes then smashed them with turning stick,having done that,I poured the egg into the smashed potatoes  and mixed it all together. I pulled out a pan and added vegetable oil to the pan and put it on the burner then switched it on to allowed the oil to heat a little.

    The oil was good to go,I then added the squash and allow it to fry. Hunger was dealing with me so bad that I wished that it was ready,I was impatiently tapping my feet on the floor, counting the seconds,hissing every now and then.

   Finally I fried all the smashed potatoes and I waste not time in making the tomato sauce.

    It was a dream come true when I had to take my plate of potato squash to the living room with a glass of chilled orange juice to top it. You could see that I was truly happy for food. That's silliness,you know and from time to time I always admit that I am silly,it just have to be who I am.

   I settled down on my couch and was about to switch the television on with it's ramote when my phone beeped notifying of a new text message. I did not know the content of the text whether it's urgent or not but then my stomach was seriously begging me to feed her but while curiosity was also begging her to feed her too,I was cut in between.

    Eating while have a restless mind might cause me not to enjoy my meal do I decided to feed my curiosity,I swiped my phone open to see a message from an unsaved number,I tapped on the message folder and the text read.

   "On a special day like this I would have wished to have you by my side to see that smile that always take my breathe away. But no matter what,it's all good. This might be my last message to you,wishing you all the best in life. Don't forget that I love you,Ben cares❤️"
