Khajiit's colleague who is a Nigerian had given her fried plantain. Young lady didn't know what it was so she took to Twitter to ask questions about what to do with it.

I have been researching the health benefits of various plants and herbs and most times I hit a wall because even as most of these plants are available in Nigeria, we don't know their names in our local parlance. For instance I never knew the wonderful Neem tree is our popular Dongoyaro tree. This thread is for people to contribute their ideas on various plants in our local parlance.
Below are some ideas personally know

kitchen tips...
1. If you happen to over-salt a pot of soup, just
drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb
the excess salt.
2. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep
the shells from cracking.
3. Never put citrus fruits(Oranges,Lemons, limes,
etc) or tomatoes in the fridge. The low
temperatures degrade the aroma and flavor of
these fruits.(That's why our tomatoes don't last
in the fridge)
4. To clean iron cookl-ware, don’t use detergents.
Just scrub them with salt and a clean, dry paper
towel.
5. When storing empty airtight containers, throw
in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting
stinky.
6. If you are making gravy(stew) and accidentally
burn it, just pour it into a clean pan and continue
cooking it. Add sugar a little at a time, tasting as
you go to avoid 'over-sugaring'it. The sugar will
cancel out the burned taste.
7. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of
white bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to
draw out the burned flavour. Be careful not to
scrape the burned pieces off of the bottom of the
pan when serving the rice.
8. Before you chop fresh red peppers, rub a little
vegetable oil into your hands and your skin won’t
absorb the spiciness.
9. If you aren’t sure how fresh your eggs are,
place them in about four inches of water. Eggs
that stay on the bottom are fresh. If only one end
tips up, the egg is less fresh and should be used
soon. If it floats, it’s past the fresh stage.
10. To banish ants from the kitchen, find out
where they are coming in and cover the hole with
petroleum jelly(Vaseline). Ants won’t trek through
the jelly. If they are coming under a door, draw a
line on the floor with chalk. The little bugs also
won’t cross a line of chalk.
11. Don’t store your bananas in a bunch or in a
fruit bowl with other fruits. Separate your
bananas and place each in a different location.
Bananas release gases which cause fruits
(including other bananas) to ripen quickly.
Separating them will keep them fresh longer.
12. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag,
put an apple in with them.
13. If you manage to have some leftover wine,
cocktail drinks at the end of the evening, freeze it
in ice cube trays for easy addition to sauces
(white wine works wonders in sauces, i don't joke
with them) in the future.
14. After boiling pasta or potatoes, cool the water
and use it to water your house plants. The water
contains nutrients that your plants will love.
15. When defrosting meat from the freezer, pour
some vinegar over it. Not only does it tenderize
the meat; it will also bring down the freezing
temperature of the meat and cause it to thaw
quicker. # Noteevery woman should have vinegar
in her kitchen.
16. Do you cry while peeling off onions, then try
this. After peeling off your onions, refrigerate the
onions for atleast 5minutes, then dice it. You will
be glad you did.
17. For aluminium pans that are looking dull, just
boil some apple peels in them. This will brighten
up the aluminum and make your house smell
yummy.
18. If your salt is becoming lumpy, put a few
grains of rice in with it to absorb excess
moisture.
19. Always keep an aloe vera plant in your
kitchen. It’s invaluable when you scrape your arm
or burn your finger. Just break off a leaf and rub
the gel from the inside on the injury.
20. When making a soup, sauce, that ends up too
fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube. The ice will
attract the fat, which you can then scoop out.
This works wonders
21. To reuse cooking oil without tasting whatever
was cooked in the oil previously, cook a 1/4″
piece of ginger in the oil. It will remove any
remaining flavors and odors.
22. If your milk always goes bad before you can
finish it, try adding a pinch of salt to the carton
when you first open it. It will stay fresh days
longer.
23. If two drinking glasses become stuck together
after stacking, it’s not impossible to unstick
them. Just put ice in the inner glass and dunk the
outer glass in warm water. The warm glass will
expand.
I have tried few, looking forward to trying more

Imagine this girl placing me on magalistic level.. When will ladies learn not to be dependent and that guys ain't their ATM?

A relationship expert, Cynthia Valerian Raphaels has shared yet another interesting story which will leave many people shocked. Read below:
***********
Madam Cynthia, I have seen a woman to marry but I’m scared honestly. The reason is that she beats me hands down in s*x. She rarely gets tired. One hour s*x looks like 1 minute to her. When I am trying to rest she is warming up for another round. She is fun to be with, even when I refuses because I’m tried, she masturbates with Love Machine and fingers herself. She is 33 years and I am 37 years. Madam Cynthia, I am scared because of her insatiable desire.
We have had s*x in my office countlessly because she just comes in unexpectedly and before I know it ,we are on the table. I work in my father’s company. Madam Cynthia, it’s two years we knew and we have had s*x more than married couples, sometimes if she calls to say she is coming I will tell her my mother came around so she will not come. Any weekend she comes it will be s*x, s*x, s*x.
I live separately from my parents, so sometimes they come visiting mostly my mother. Cynthia she cooks well, very neat, but this excessive s*x scares me. I have told her about it, but she always say she will make me love s*x, I don’t see my self having s*x that way. What should I do?
Cynthia replied:
Teach your partner how to prepare you for s*x. If you’re the slow-to-warm-up type, a body massage, foot rub, or a few minutes of no-pressure cuddling may help ease you into a more receptive frame of mind.Be willing to start lovemaking from a $exually neutral state. Cultivate a willingness to occasionally say yes to s*x for reasons other than a strong physical need. In a healthy relationship, occasionally having $ex simply to pleasure a partner can be an act of love.Split the difference. In other words, compromise. Alternate between doing what the higher-libido partner wants, doing what the lower-libido partner wants, and doing something in between such as bringing one partner to orgasm without involving the other partner in full-blown s*x.
This is a common cause for relationship problems, particularly for people who have trouble communicating with their partner. It can be a win/ lose situation that inevitably turns into a lose/lose situation. That is, the partner who has the higher drive feels hurt and rejected when s*x does not happen and the partner with lower drive feels pressured and resentful at having to perform when they don’t feel up to it. The best solution is usually for both partners to reach a compromise.
The higher-drive partner should understand that each person has their own natural s*x drive and should not feel rejected when their drive doesn’t fall in line with their partner’s. Finding non-$exual romantic ways to boost their partner’s libido may also prove helpful. Dealing with the libidinal feelings by masturbating or redirecting is another approach. For the partner with the lower drive, it is important to understand that their partner is not trying to pressure them. Responding to some of the non-$exual cues may help enhance their s*x drive.
Many times, simply being with their partner, holding them while they masturbate or masturbating them is an acceptable alternative that doesn’t require full-blown $exual involvement. If there is a large discrepancy, such as one partner wanting $ex every night of the week and the other only once a week, they could agree to engage in s*x twice or three times a week. Often this requires more of an attitude change than a physical change.

To some people, relationships are very sensitive territory. When cheating is involved, it becomes like a glass ball balancing on top of a needle. One wrong move, and it is broken. But luckily for some couples, there are ways to overcome the hardships and move forward.

Steps
1
Tell them you're sorry.Cheating in a relationship can put a lot of strain on both people: If it has been a serious commitment, the severity of the situation tends to be tougher to deal with. But, by no means is it impossible to overcome. The first step is to make amends with the person you have wronged and let them know that you are sincere about what you say. Honesty, in this case, is an absolute must. Tell them everything they want to know. That way, if the bond between the two of you has the chance to regain strength, there will be less fear or unanswered questions.
2
Give them space.It would be asking too much of someone by begging them to forgive right away. Let them heal and process the situation. If they as well as you believe it is meant to be, then it will be. If not, there is still room for friendship and improvement.
3
Do not get down if there is not instant normalcy.Feelings were hurt. And they can/will need plenty of time and space to heal. Do not force yourself on them. Let them come to you when they are ready for a confrontation.
4
Be prepared for their emotions.Understand the circumstances you are both under and realize that this relationship can be mended if you work on it together. Listen to what they have to say, but also speak your mind. He/she is not telepathic, so they will need guidance when it comes to your take and thoughts.
5
Be friends.Know it is not necessary to jump back into things. Ease yourselves into a new relationship. If he/she is willing to forget the past, then know that you can get through just about anything. Recognize your wrongs, but give yourself credit for admitting them. Although it is easier said than done, honesty, in the long run, with only help you.

Warnings
*.
Your partner may react violently. Your partner has every right to be as angry as is needed,with murder being the only exception. No matter the outcome, it is entirely your own fault. But understand that nobody has the right to be hurt or abused. If he/she does react violently, get out fast and don't go back for a while.

1
Encourage your partner to be more open with you.Sharing more of your emotions with your partner and encouraging your partner to do the same with you will help strengthen your bond. Make it a habit to confide in each other every day. Some opening questions for confiding in your partner include:
*.“Remember when we used to go walking and talking around the neighborhood, walking the dogs together? Let’s do that again tonight…How about it?”
*.“What happened yesterday between us didn’t go so well, and I want to try another way-can we start over and this time I will take some deep breaths and listen more patiently. I also want to say what works better for me and find out what you are hoping for.”
2
Be considerate of each other’s needs.In order to move forward in your relationship, you will both need to learn how to understand each other’s needs. The best way to uncover what your partner needs and let him or her know what you need is to talk about it.
*.If you are not sure what your spouse wants or needs, the best way to find out is to ask questions and listen. If you still are not sure, ask more questions. For example, you could say something like, I think that what you need from me is ________. Is that what you mean?
3
Appreciate each other.Showing appreciation through sincere compliments is an important part of a healthy relationship. Make sure that you and your partner are aware of the importance of complimenting each other and that you both know how to do it well. Good compliments should not only be sincere and focused, they should also be phrased as an “I” statement rather than as a “you” statement.
*.For example, if your partner cleans the kitchen, don’t say “You did a nice job of cleaning the kitchen.” Instead, say "I appreciate that you cleaned the kitchen.” Using Iinstead of youlets your partner know how you feel, not just that you noticed.
4
Ask your partner to commit to change.If you decide that you are ready to move forward in your relationship with your partner, you should ask your partner to promise you that he or she will not follow the same pattern of behavior that led to the affair. Ask your partner to articulate or even write out what that behavior includes and commit to change.
5
Establish consequences to deal with the possibility of another affair.Since there is a possibility that your partner may cheat again, you should work together to establish consequences for another affair. These consequences may include things like divorce, losing custody of your children, or other repercussions. You may want to get these consequences in writing and work with a lawyer to make them legally binding.

People cheat on their partners for a wide variety of reasons. But regardless of the reason, unfaithfulness is hurtful and it can create a permanent rift between two people. If your partner has cheated and has expressed remorse for what he or she has done, then you may need to take certain steps to move forward in the relationship. Keep reading to learn how to handle a cheating partner.


1
Understand the nature of your partner’s cheating.People cheat for many different reasons and it is not always about s*x. Sometime people cheat because they are seeking an emotional connection, trying to deal with a loss or crisis, or seeking an escape.
*.Do not assume that your partner’s cheating was all about s*x. Find out why he or she cheated before you move forward. Try telling your partner, "I need to know why you cheated and who it was. Please be honest with me and tell me what happened."
2
Request that your partner cut off all communication with the third party.In order to reestablish trust, you need to be certain that the third party is out of the picture. That means asking your partner to break all ties with the person. This severing may be difficult if the third party is a coworker or someone else that your partner sees on a daily basis. It may even be necessary for your partner to seek a new job in order to make sure that there will be no further contact between the two.
*.If your partner is unwilling to cut off contact with the third party, it may be a sign that he or she is unwilling to stop cheating. In this case, you may not be able to repair the relationship.
*.If the third party continues to pursue your partner despite being cut off, you and your partner may want to pursue a restraining order to keep this person away from you both.
3
Communicate with your partner when you are ready.Learning that your partner has had an affair may cause you to experience a high level of emotional distress. In this case, you may need some time before you can talk to your partner about what happened. It is important to discuss the affair in order to move forward in your relationship, but don’t feel like you have to discuss the affair with your partner right away. Take your time and talk about it when you feel ready.
*.If your partner pressures you to talk, say something like, “I appreciate that you want to talk, but I am just too hurt right now to talk about what happened. Please show your love for me by giving me space and time.”
4
Set boundaries about relationships outside of your marriage.If you partner has cheated, it is more likely that he or she will cheat again. You can help your partner to stop an affair before it develops by establishing boundaries for relationships outside of your marriage. In other words, make sure that your partner understands what types of things are acceptable and what are not. You should also make sure that your partner knows not to disclose certain types of information to avoid having a friendship develop into an affair. [4]
*.For example, your partner should not talk to a work friend about you or your marital issues. You and your partner can work together to compile a list of topics that are acceptable as well as topics that are not acceptable for conversations with friends and coworkers.
5
Ask your partner to make his or her whereabouts known to you throughout the day.In order to reestablish trust, your partner will need to understand that he or she has lost your trust. For this reason, you will need to know where your partner is at all times. This may seem unfair to your partner, but it is necessary if he or she is committed to regaining your trust.
6
Talk about your partner’s cheating, but set limits.Schedule two 30 minute sessions each week to talk to your partner about his or her affair, rather than spreading the questions throughout the week. Don’t ask your partner to reveal things that will be too hurtful for you to hear, such as s*xual details.

1. Don’t Compromise Beyond Reason:
Almost every relationship involves some kind of compromise. But there are difference between compromises that help the make the relationship better and those that make you lose yourself. If you have to lose your identity to keep the relationship, it’s not worth it.
2. Give Yourself Time To Heal From Your Last Relationship:
You think you already healed from your last relationship but you really need more time. Don’t be quick to jump at the first person who shows even the slightest interest in you so you can feel loved again. Give yourself time between serious relationships to heal. That way you’ll be better prepared to go after what you want. And you’ll be less likely to compare your new beau to your ex, too.

3. Enjoy Being Single:
Enjoy the life of the ‘single pringle’. It helps you understand yourself and look withing to reach your innermost self.
By the time someone comes along, you already understand yourself well enough not to lose yourself.
4. Know The Kind Of Person You Want To Be With:
Learn from your past relationships. You know the things that didn’t make the last one work. Don’t think it’ll be different with this new person.
Relationships are definitely work, but it doesn’t have to be hard work.
5. Just Stop Looking
This is the very important. Make the process as natural as possible. Don’t force it.
