Let's Cook - Chisoso Chotendera (Traditional African Vegetable)

Hello everyone, it has been a minute. Got caught up in work but I'm back now. Today we will be cooking Chisoso Chotendera, this is basically Blackjack cooked with groundnut flour. It is delicious! My Mum says back in the village when she was growing up, this was considered meat - at least to her...not sure it would be the same for me LOL meat is meat.

7 Days of Nature

#NatureChallengePhotography That's the hashtag and I was nominated by a friend to share Nature related pictures of Malawi over a period of seven days. It's a great way to showcase Malawi and what it has to offer...it is also a bit challenging LOL Can you imagine me desperately going through my gallery trying to find a nature related picture out of the 317 similar looking selfies in there..

Day 1: A beautiful sunset in Mulanje - home to the Island in the sky, Mulanje Mountain which is in the Southern region of Malawi.

When Your Friends Won't Get Over Your Ex

We all have been through bad relationships and bad break ups. Some of which seem to hurt forever. You spend your days (and long nights) thinking of what could have been. You will give anything to get back together with them. When people tell you "It's gonna be alright.." it makes it even worse because well, it just doesn't seem real. You think you will never get over that person but then a few months (sometimes years. Yes I know) later you're smirking at your old delusional self....thinking what could have possibly gotten over me to say such unimaginable things?!

Friends most times let us know whenever they run into our exes but as time goes by all that information just gets fazed out - th...
