Relationship cravings


   
   Gosh I really need a boyfriend! I am not the first girl in history to have this thought and I certainly won't be the last. It happens when you're feeling sad...or want someone to vent to....or are lonely...or everyone around you seems to be in coupled bliss. And you only see the sunshine and rainbows that come with having a significant other. You only see the cuteness and the mushiness and the happiness. You are ready to settle for anything with an XY chromosome that has no aversion towards you.

   But you forget that he may have annoying habits. He may be rude to your family. He might have nothing in common with you. You might fight. You might not like his choice of friends. You forget that relationships are messy. You forget that there is a good reason to be picky about guys. You don't have to be 'happily married' at 22, a few more years won't kill you. You don't have to settle just for the sake.

Songs of Solomon 8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.

   So have fun, bond with your friends and family, build your relationship with God, concentrate on school/work, Etc. Not necessarily in that order, but you get my point? Do all the things you can do right now since your time isn't being taken up by the nurturing of a relationship. Take advantage of your singleness and do what you can while you can. Because I believe that there is a time for everything and maybe right now isn't your time.

Foodie Fridays: Shepherd's pie with nyama choma

Image
   I've always wanted to try Shepherd's pie but I never did because we don't  have an actual pie-dish. But then I saw this recipe on Kawi Snippets and I just had to try it. She used a baking tin instead...talk about a light-bulb moment! She also used cheese and I love cheese! For the recipe, check out her blog here .    I however added my own twist to the dish. We had some left-over nyama choma ( Roasted goat ) in the fridge so I figured I'd just re-purpose it. I used the same recipe but swapped the mince-meat with nyama choma. I also garnished with tomatoes and parsley. Here's how it turned out: Meat in the baking tin...just needs the potato layer This is before baking. I'm a sucker for garnishes Fresh out of the oven Bon appetite! Ciao...

We need adultier adults

Image
   This meme is a running joke between me and my friends. Or my friends and I. We occasionally post on social media about how we have successfully 'adulted' for the day. ' Adulting ' being the act of successfully doing something grown- up that you've never done before.Keyword being: successfully. And I know that there is a section of baby-boomers that's sick of this millennial habit of constantly documenting our supposed triumphs for the whole world to see, but I'm pretty sure they'd be doing the same thing if they'd this technology at their disposal in their hey-day. Heck! who I am I kidding?! They did do the same thing.. through phone calls, letters and postcards.    But back to the meme. Being an adult is hard work.. the first time around anyway. I had an experience last year when I accompanied 3 teenage girls to the hospital. Reason being we were at camp and I was a counsellor and they had some injuries that needed to be looked at by a docto...

Different kinds of people in the exam room

Image
Disclaimer: Based on a true story! He he! I’ve always wanted to say that! I had a Surgery CAT today. Technically yesterday since it’s past midnight. So at some point after finishing the paper and waiting for the question papers to be collected I realised that there are many different personality groups to be observed while an exam is ongoing. They say that stress does strange things to people, well here’s what I’ve seen so far. 1. The star-gazer Or should I say ceiling-gazer. They've read the question, don't know the answer so the look up in the hope that they'll see it. I mean if God can do walls surely He can write on ceilings too! Right? Anybody? Ok, then. But sometimes this strategy actually works and they suddenly remember the answer! 2. The artist Ordinary student who suddenly becomes a Michelangelo during the exam. Their question paper ( if they were handed answer sheets ) or rough paper will be full of creative doodles and will look something li...
