The Diary Game: [ 29/08/2026] A Long Trip to the Park, and Home to Baobab Soup

A Long Trip to the Park, and Home to Baobab Soup Today was one of those "God, abeg help me" kind of days . But at the same time, it ended so peacefully that I’m grateful.

It started with breakfast I woke up, prayed, and ate something light. Then reality hit me — I had a delivery waiting for me at the park. Now the problem is, that park is not close to my house at all.

I left home and the journey was stressful. Sun, keke, waiting, walking... by the time I got to the park and collected my package, I was already tired. The bag was heavy too. You can see it in the picture — that’s the sack I carried back. It was addressed to "AMINA CALABAR" and I was just praying it doesn’t tear on the way

Coming back, I was so hungry and tired. I told myself "no cooking anything complicated today". But my stomach had other plans. I stopped at the market and bought a few things for dinner.

When I got home, I decided to make *Miyar Kuka*. For my northern people, you already know what’s up For others reading, _Miyar Kuka_ is made from *Baobab leaves*. Yes, the baobab tree. We dry the leaves, grind them, and use the powder to make this delicious green soup. It’s light, healthy, and it goes perfectly with tuwo shinkafa. Cooking it was therapeutic. The smell alone chased away all the stress from the park. See the plate in the picture — hot tuwo with rich kuka soup and meat. That’s northern comfort right there. Only us go understand

After eating, I didn’t have energy for anything else. I just sat down, watched a couple of movies, and scrolled my phone. No pressure, no big plans. Just rest. Now I’m off to bed with a full belly and a grateful heart.

Even stressful days can end sweet. As long as you eat good food and get home safe, that’s a win. Thank you for reading my little story today. Have you ever tasted _Miyar Kuka_ before? And what do you eat it with — tuwo, fufu, or garri? let’s gist
