Day 22: Stew

she asked for fufu and stew.

i didn’t have either.

what might it look like if i tried?

i searched.

i didn’t have yam, but i had gari.

i didn’t have fish flakes, but i had smoked paprika.

i didn’t have egusi, but i had sesame seeds.

i didn’t have habanero but i had cayenne.

each time i thought i didn’t or couldn’t.

i realized i did and i could.

i put de love in it.

i put de prayers for good digestion in it.

i put the tasti tasti spices in it.

i hope she likes it.
