Mbuzi Wet Fry.

(Bar style, bila spices)

Small recipe thread:
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.
But sana sana, kula na sima kubwa!!
Na maziwa mala.

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.

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.
