A Lazy Girl´s Guide to April
BY THE LAZY TIGERS
April in Lagos is always a bit unpredictable. This surely is going to be the most unpredictable one of all. At the time of writing, it is a rainy March day and the whole town is quiet with a lack of visitors and quite subdued. However, April can be glorious, and Easter is coming, the end of Lent and the beginning of summer, and as we say at London Tiger Coffee, `If you can´t smile, show your teeth´. We thought we would give you a few `store cupboard´ recipes this month; dishes to cook from what´s in the kitchen already or things that are easily sourced. Then we can sit back, relax, and make the most of the unexpected quiet. Remember, whatever you do, `laziness in all things´. A few of us in the shop are of Irish extraction and remember our mothers or grandmothers making soda bread and filling the kitchen with the wonderful smell of hot bread. This recipe uses regular milk and lemon juice rather than buttermilk which can be a bit harder to come by. This bean stew recipe is a real `what have we got in´ one. You can serve it with the soda bread. Lastly an Easter cocktail.
