Random Thoughts of a Girl in Nairobi

This year, I decided that I would give football one last chance. You know? Watch the world-cup matches with a completely open mind and if I didn’t love the game afterwards then there would be no hope. I’ve only followed 3 World cups in my whole life: 1.        France 98 – I was 7 years old and in-love with all things French so I watched it simply because France was hosting. I still remember the theme song ‘Ole ole ole ola’! 2.        South Africa 2010 - Come on, every African with an ounce of pride in their heritage was watching this one! 3.        Brazil 2014.     So 1 hour to the opening ceremony and I hadn’t chosen a team to support. I randomly settled on Spain because they won the previous World cup ( wrong choice ). I also picked all African countries ( Big-ups to Ghana by the way ). I watched the opening match and...It was actually pretty darn interesting! I wa...

I dove into this recipe feet first and with both eyes closed. I’ve cooked rabbit before but I wondered how it ( and meat in general ) would taste after being marinated in passion juice! Strange, I know, but it also was a huge success! ( Whoop whoop! ) So here goes: Ingredients ½ a rabbit cut into pieces 1 large onion 2 large carrots 3 medium sized tomatoes 1 large capsicum 1 medium sized courgette ¼ cup cooking oil 1 teaspoon of royco For the marinade 1 cup fresh passion juice 5 cloves of garlic 1 heaped teaspoon of salt 1 heaped teaspoon of black pepper Instructions 1. Crush the garlic and mix with the other marinade ingredients. Place the rabbit pieces in a bowl and pour the marinade over the rabbit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning the pieces after an hour and a half. 2.  Pour the cooking oil onto a heated saucepan and add the rabbit. Fry at medium heat until browned.  3. Add the rest of the ingredient...

I've decide to make 'What I ate' an official category on this blog...like with it's own tab.Then I'll use it to post pictures of recipes that I've actually cooked and enjoyed just to show you it is practical.... enjoy! #RandomThoughts Ciao...

   At some point in my childhood, I developed vampire teeth. Don’t get it? Let me explain. You see, it was that point after I’d lost all my milk teeth and all that was left was permanent teeth. I think I was around 9. My lower jaw was fine, my upper one, not so much. My upper canines couldn’t come down properly, so they were suspended somewhere midway between the other teeth. Hence the term ‘vampire teeth’. My brother on the other hand was born with perfect dentition so yeah, I’ve been a little jealous.         It was mostly a private joke between my mom and I. I might have even once pretended to suck someone blood ( lol! Don’t judge ) but things got serious when I was 11. Maybe it was the whole puberty thing and my mom decided she didn’t want her daughter to grow-up with weird dentition. For the sake of my self-esteem or something. I don’t know but I should probably ask her. When I was 11, she decided that I needed to see a dentist. I was ...

 I’ve recently come-up with one of the coolest breakfast idea ever. Rice Krispies with hot milk and drizzled with chocolate syrup  ( Cornflakes and Weetabix are too mainstream. And I've always loved Rice Krispies, especially the ones by Kellog's ) . Admittedly, I’ve been putting chocolate syrup on a lot of things lately: cake, ice cream, pancakes...and now...cereal. Now before you judge me, try it! Like really, it’s an amazing thing!   My ingredients: Milk Cereal topped with sliced bananas Chocolate syrup The final result. With a side of avocado, for a healthy diet.    Admittedly I have a huge sweet-tooth. There are times when I actually have to restrain myself from eating or buying certain things because the rational part of my brain knows it’s unhealthy. But I know that I’ll be that mom/aunt who freely promotes sugary treats. Sure, my kids will eat healthy but yeah...there’s no way I’ll say no to ice cream and sw...
