When my 7 year old daughter talks about Nigeria and going back, one of the things on the top of her list is Suya. My 4 year old doesn’t remember the absolutely delicious bits of spiced beef on sticks, cooked over hot coals by specialists – men from the northern part of Nigeria, where this is their trademark. Suya is one of those things which Nigerians in diaspora miss, just like the Dutch yearn for dropjes and stroopwaffels! And if you dig further, you’ll find most people have jars of suya spice in their pantries. I got my mum to bring me a small sack of the stuff which is stashed in the deep freezer!

Every summer I’m infatuated with one stone fruit or the other: last summer it was plums, encouraged by a killer bargain I explored their use in various ways; this year its peaches. Next year just might be Apricots, who knows!

Just got a bike. As in a bicycle, three years after living in the Netherlands.
Flat country and all, I’ve never been motivated to ride.
This is a third stage in my life, cycling
The first was as a child when our Choppers brought so much joy
Then I had a bike at University and rode it once when I was in Donegal, in the west of Ireland.
Once and that was it – 10 years ago.
When we moved to the Netherlands, everyone expected us to get bikes.
This flat country where a hill is a mountain, to a Dutchman.
Well, we didn’t then.
I was super comfy walking, driving or hopping on the bus
But something changed this week past
And we – husband and I got bikes.
It fits perfectly with our drive to get healthier
And to lose weight
And so I’m glad
In any respect, I consider it an investment
Even with my aching bum and legs
An investment in our future
And our health
So I’m glad I got my bike
I say better late than never!

The kumquat is of the genus citrus Fortunella sensu stricto and cousin to other citruses – oranges, lemons and limes sensu lato.
Its name might lure you into considering a friendship, if not familial bond with that other homophone of a fruit, the loquat but fear not, they have no ties that bind unlike its relationship with the limequats, a hybrid of key lime and kumquat.

Very busty, it makes me look fat
Don’t blame me
Blame my Grandmother
On my Dad’s side
She gave me
Her Breast DNA
