Ingredients:
Meat 1 Kg
3 onions cut.
4 -5 big very ripe tomatoes diced.
3 potatoes, peeled and halved
1 bunch of spinach
2 cups water
2 chillis/pilipili
Salt to taste
1 tbsp oil option
The trick with this recipe is how you add/cook the ingredients.
That makes all the difference.
Directions: 1. Boil your meat until halfway done. Should start becoming tender but not too soft. If there is still broth/soup, drain it and put aside. 2. Now add your oil and onions. Fry until lightly brown. 3. Return the broth you drained and add some more water (1 ½ cups total)
4. Now, add your potatoes and cook on a high flame until the meat looks like it's back to boiling. At this point, reduce the heat to a low flame, add your tomatoes and Pilipili. 5. Cover and cook on a low heat. You want the tomatoes to stew until they soften.
Now you are here...
6. Once your tomatoes have stewed for about 10-15 minutes, they should be soft and it should have reduced from a watery soup to a thick sauce. Make sure your salt and chilli is balanced. 7. Add your spinach, without mixing, cover and steam for 5 mins.
Now stir, and serve with your favorite accompaniment.

Yooooooooh...
Life really comes at you fast. So, some time last year, after I was out of work, I go to meet a friend of mine. Known the guy for 6 years or so. Man's a fitness instructor. Proficient with martial arts. He wants to quit his job and open a dojo but has little money.
I'm jobless. Undecided on what to do. But I have savings in the account. He asks me to partner. I'll invest in the business model mostly and he will bring the clientele. I mean, he has been in the industry for about 8 years. Is a personal trainer so he even has a client list.
I weigh my options, do a feasibility study and it makes sense to me. There are no huge returns but the potential is good for a startup. Luckily, there is a premise I know that just got vacated. I know the owner, so I negotiate on rent and goodwill. Money is tight since ni savings
It has been said that young people in Kenya should look for alternative sources of income. 2 years ago, I ventured into farming. Things were not so good and I needed and extra source of money. So I went to 'upcountry' and farmed. Cabbages.
What followed was hell!! #Thread
Let me start by saying that Cartels are everywhere. The common farmer will never make money from their land. It's next to impossible. The harvest was good. First, I tried selling them at the shamba, it was impossible. Watu walikuwa wana offer 5-10 shillings per head. Madness!
I looked around and because I've lived in Mombasa all my life, I knew that there was ready market. Si I asked around. Got a canter. Went and pakiad it with cabbages. First, a canter carries 3500-4000 cabbages. Ukifanya hesabu na 50 bob, inakuja about 200k.
I decided. Okay.
You know, what you eat really determines how you feel. How your body acts. Your mood. Everything. Your weight, mental and physical health included. I know. Because I have suffered. #Thread
4 years ago, I was a normal looking guy. Mjengo was okay. I swam occasionally. Pesa ilikuwa just enough for basic needs and what not. Food was kawaida. I was healthy. Health issues were a rumour. Really. Food and a drink here and there.
Then at some point, I got a good gig. Had a little left over chums. I could tandika beers proper. Or drinks by the bottle. My day was all about, wake up, eat, work, eat sleep. I got home late, tired and hungry. I never had time to cook any more. Eating out became my thing.
