Did I tell you Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year way back from when I was a child. There definitely something in the air around Christmas time. O yes the birth of Jesus ?

Well in Nigeria Christmas menu is is usually all about special recipes. Dishes like fried rice always make a show. Yes fried rice used to be a special delicacy. It is still is the only difference is that it's eaten more Often during the year than it used to.
