Adam's Piment or the "Best the Village's Ever Had"

It seems everywhere we go there's some local spicy condiment that everyone swears by.

In Congo it's pilli pilli. In Rwanda it's Akabanga. Thailand's got sriracha. Here in Burkina it's piment. A few months ago Adam went on a trip to Bobo-Dioulasso, a little over 5 hours from where we live in Ouagadougou.

When he returned all he could talk about was the piment he had there at a friend's house.

So over the holidays we passed through Bobo-Dioulasso and made a mandatory stop to ask for the recipe. Clare, the keeper of the recipe, explained the details directly to me. Because surely I would be the one preparing the piment for my helpless husband.

Back in Ouaga Adam asked his favorite roadside vegetable vendor lady for an oversize bag of yellow peppers. Now veggie lady is already pretty amused that Adam's the household grocery shopper and chef, so when he explained he was making piment, she lost it. So much so that he promised to bring some back to her to prove it.

Adam was obligated to teach Anastasie because she took a sample of his first batch back to her village, and delivered the message back to him that it was "the best piment they've ever had."

I claim classic buttering up of the foreigner, but Adam's convinced he's the piment king of the village.

Forthwith the proof and the recipe for Adam's Piment Jaune Écrasé (a variation of the original from Clare):




Ingredients:

1 bowl of small hot peppers (seeds removed) - these are locally grown Ojemmas, similar to Habaneros
1 green pepper
8 cloves garlic
1 bunch parsley
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp coarse salt 
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp mustard




Add yellow and green peppers, garlic, parsley and coarse salt.



Pound. 




Woman's work, Adam. Step aside.


Observe.



Resent lack of attention. (Side note: Does anyone else's kid insist on the one shoulder look?)



Keep pounding until it looks like so.



Don't forget to wipe spicy shrapnel from the wall.



Spoon into jars.



Add oil, vinegar and mustard. Shake.



Voila. Adam adds a spoonful to his morning egg in a basket. And really, on top of everything else he eats too.



Deliver sample to veggie lady.



Just changing cultural constructs one jar of piment at a time.

  12. How I Got My Ex Husband Back..Am so excited
    share my testimony of a real spell caster
    who brought my husband back to me. My
    husband and I have been married for about 7
    yrs now. We were happily married with two
    kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I
    started to notice some strange behavior from
    him and a few weeks later I found out that
    my husband is seeing someone else. He
    started coming home late from work, he
    hardly care about me or the kids anymore,
    Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come
    back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I
    could to rectify this problem but all to no
    avail. I became very worried and needed
    help. As I was browsing through the
    internet one day, I came across a website
    that suggested that Dr Sanni Moses can help solve
    marital problems, restore broken
    relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him
    and and told him my problems and he told
    me what to do and i did it and he did a
    spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband
    came to me and apologized for the wrongs he
    did and promise never to do it again. Ever
    since then, everything has returned back to
    normal. I and my family are living together
    happily again.. All thanks to Dr Sanni Moses
    Powerful Love Spell that really works. If
    you have any problem contact him and i
    guarantee you that he will help you. He
    will not disappoint you. Email him @ Drsannimoses@gmail.com you can also reach him on WHATSAPP at +2347011911646

  13. Hi viewers online, I'm Alfonso Vázquez from Mexico. I'm here to share my testimony about how i was helped to get my wife back. I was a cheat and my wife caught me several times. I tried fixing myself and each time i ended up cheating over and over again. I guess i didn't realise what she meant to me until she had left me alone. I began to find a way to get her back but nothing seems to work out perfectly till i came across an article about Lord Zakuza who helped a lot of people globally to get their relationships back. I made contact with him on his WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483 and he assured me that my wife will come back to me within 48 hours with his powerful magics and i paid 410 Euros for the materials needed for the work. Surprisingly, my wife came back home after 2 days saying that she still loves me and i swore never to cheat on her anymore. All thanks to Lord Zakuza. Email him via ( lordzakuza7@gmail.com ) or WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483.

  17. I was very confused when my wife that I married 11 years ago told me she needed a divorce simply because she fell in love with a guy she met in the bank. She took all her belongings and left my house even when I pleaded with her not to go but she insisted and left. It wasn’t easy at all for me because I was in pain and couldn’t go to work or even eat, i did a lot of research on the internet when I came across some beautiful testimony people shared about Dr. Ken so I quickly contacted him and told him my story I never knew Dr. Ken could be so nice, he told me that my wife will come back to me within 4 days and everything happened just as he said and then I concluded that I have found a God on Earth and I will continue to testify about him till Christ comes. Here is Dr. Ken contact details Email address;  drkenlovespell@gmail.com
