I welcome you to my blog. After reading the weekly prompt, I realized one has to cook to save humanity from going into slavery and, most of all, from going extinct. I had to give it a very deep thought about which food I can prepare very well and not messing it up so that our visitors will not get pissed after eating; instead, they will only put on a smiling face. After so much thought, I realized I am not the type who knows how to prepare local delicacies very well. I am definitely not going to prepare the likes of soup and other local food for our foreign visitors.

The preparation of our local Nigerian delicacies takes a lot of time and energy and cannot be done by just anyone. You must know how to prepare them before you think about preparing them, and I, on the contrary, only know how to prepare a few, so I will be preparing something I prepare often, and I am sure not to mess it up.
So aside from local delicacies which other foods you think can be used to appease our visitors and save humanity, what else can one bring to the table to serve just like our local meals would? In order to save humanity, I will be preparing rice and stew. There are only a handful of people out there who do not really enjoy the rice, stew, and salad combo. Even on very big occasions, I see guests rushing it, and I see no reason why our guests won't do the same.
Rice is Nigeria's food on special occasions; it can be prepared in so many ways and has so many combos to go with. Can be prepared as the popular Nigerian jollof, can be prepared with stew, can be prepared as fried rice, as well as our local way called MTN rice, which is prepared with palm oil. There are other ways in which rice is prepared and consumed in Nigeria, so why not give our visitors from another planet a taste of what we enjoy on big occasions? You must agree with me that preparing a meal to stop their invasion is a big occasion too.
With the above-listed ingredients, which are the very vital ones, we can stop an alien invasion. After they eat this, all they will want is more, and they will forget about taking over our planet by force. Nigeria is famous for jollof, but I decided to go for rice and stew because I prepare it better and it is a lot more spicy. Rice is like a more presentable food when it comes to occasions, and guests can eat without being shy about who is watching since a spoon is used compared to our local delicacies, which we use our hands to eat.
