It takes someone special to be a nurse, it takes passion, dedication, empathy and a love for what you do to be a great nurse.
To all the amazing nurses out there, Happy Nursing week, you are all awesome.

Nelson Mandela, from Prison to Palace.

 I visited the prison cell Nelson Mandela stayed in while he was incarcerated in Robben Island, South Africa. I must confess, it was a small, dingy, uncomfortable space, just looking at it made my skin crawl, It made me wonder how he made it all those years, how his spirit was not weakened, how his faith still stood strong, how his believe in his people and country did not waver?
How?

Sights from Beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

.
I am sharing pictures from my trip to Cape town, south Africa.
Cape town is a beautiful, beautiful city, with amazing places to visit, lovely beaches, lots of food, great shopping malls, and lots of tourist attractions, trust me, you wont regret visiting Cape town.
I was skeptical about safety, mainly because I had watched some YouTube videos on the high crime rate in SA, particularly Johannesburg before my trip, but was surprised at how very safe it was when I was there, mind you, wherever I was I always ensured I was back to the hotel room before 10pm.
I also kinda struck gold when I found the Ocean basket restaurant...... and ate seafood almost everyday......reminded me of Red lobster....
I visited a lot of fun places among which are Robben Island, Table mountain, Wharf Mariner, I also went on the bus tour to the beautiful wineries and I must say the food at those wineries were very delicious, and the ambience? great, exceptional!!!.......
Okay, see pictures below....
Enjoy.
See the McDonald's?

How to make Pap/Ogi/Akamu - Hot Corn cereal.

The other day I had a craving for one of my favorite meal and couldn't find it to buy anywhere in Ottawa. So I decided to make it from scratch....Yes!
I went to the African grocery store and bought dry corn.
I brought them home, washed and soaked for three days and then blended it into a fine smooth paste.
I went to fabric-land and bought 2 meter white chiffon fabric to sieve the paste. Sieving takes out the starchy part of the corn and removes the chaff.
It took me hours......but I was determined.
I let the starch and water settle for some hours and the end result?
Amazing, creamy, soft pap!!!!
I was very happy, it took me days to finally eat what I was craving, but boyyyyy was it worth it.
See Pictures below...
Enjoy!

Khloe and Kylie are both PREGNANT!


So the news this week is that Khloe and Kylie are both reportedly pregnant.
 Khloe is reportedly pregnant and expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. I am so happy for her, she has been reported in the past to have been TTC with then Husband Lamar Odom, and also battling Endometriosis. It is great to see that she is pregnant, Endometriosis is a nasty, nasty disease that causes pain and leads to infertility...And 1 in 6 women are battling infertility.
Kylie is also pregnant with her first child at 20 with boyfriend Travis Scott......
Congratulations to both Ladies.
Enjoy.
