TRADITIONAL LUHYA SPICE

I actually don't know what it's called in English but it's like vinegar/soda bicarbonate, that you add to traditional greens like omurenda, livubi, the famous terere, just ask anyone in Kenya they know them. Now to my point, all you need is a clear container, water, ash and a sieve. The ash must be fine just from firewood but some people still make it with charcoal ash. Anyhow it's your choice, so after mixing, remember not too much water, 500ml is okay with little wood ash. after mixing let it settle for some days, the ash will sink and the water looking like alcohol or cooking oil will be on top. Then sieve into another container and store the ash for recycling another day. The liquid you have sieved can be used the same way soda bicarbonate is used in boiling some traditional green veggies, some white folks eat blackjack leaves (with the way climate change is going so will we start eating weeds as they are more climate resistant than food stuff) and you can boil it with this too, herbs are healthy. It's called omushereha. IT'S A FACT LUHYA'S ARE THE BEST NATURAL COOKS. i'm just saying don't eat me. random fact: a cork is called okutaiwa in luhya, ingoho is chicken.

I ALMOST GAVE UP ON HEALTHY EATING

Hi, I was thinking of starting a platform that will at least address the starvation crisis. Then I gave up. I mean come on, huge industries are expanding in the ready made food section. Still wondering what I'm writing? Well this blog was formed to provide summaries of how to prepare meals but I think I've had an epiphany, thank goodness it's about conflict just like Rango's epiphany.  I have realized that there are millions of short recipes all over the internet and so i thought I'm only trying to reinvent the wheel that was invented instead of modifying it or using it on something thats a niche. Okay my niche is that I plan to change the name of this blog to 'stop starvation' something, hey any suggestions?  I don't want to join everyone in providing info that is so much to the consumer. I have a dream and my dream is not for blacks but it mostly involves blacks. I want to contribute to reducing starvation by coming up with...

THE SECRET TO A HEALTHY LIFE

Okay the truth: our society is becoming obese and we are enriching the medical community by being regular patients of nutrition related symptoms simply because we don't eat like our forefathers. Yes i said it and you may say it's stone-age or is it Stonehenge but those guys pretty much die in their 90s or over, and us who mock them die before 50 years old. Anyone above 50 years actually is a healthy and conscious eater. Some people ... take offense if you like but some guys look 40s when they are barely 20s. PLEASE EAT THOSE TRADITIONAL FOODS AND NOT PROCESSED 'NUTRITIONAL FOODS' I MEAN FRESH FARM PRODUCE. milk a goat if you have to, let a hen and a cork wander in your back yard and collect some eggs later. There is an true (maybe the only true rumor) that the healthy President Moi actually eats pretty much only traditional stuff thats why he's still young. By the way we share a birthday with that famous president... connect the dots and don't hate me for it...
