Storing Onions in Pantyhose (stockings)
HIYA!! yes I’m back. Bet you missed me as much as I missed you. I know I have been bad, I am really having a had time balancing my life ever since I moved back to Nairobi. But thats no excuse I will purpose to do better by you. So Tuesday’s will be organization day. Hope you will enjoy the tips and tricks as much as I do. I decided to start with onions because I love onions so I always buy them in bulk and this has saved me from my onions going bad a few weeks in.
Using Wine Glasses as Candle Stands
Isn’t it amazing the things you can do using just what you’ve got in the house? How something as simple as a wine glass and candles can completely transform your dinner table or your party setting. There so many ways you can do this: 
add some sand or form into it and place your candle.
I love the one above, its such a beachy feeling love how the shells look. 
You can float the candle in some water, even add some berries that will float too or add pebbles that will fall to the bottom of the glass 
This is by far my favourite idea, Cant wait to do this during Christmas. I reckon it would look great with gold ornaments for a dinner party or just empty at the bottom in case you have no ornaments. Well thats all Folks HAPPY DECORATING!! photos courtesy of Google.
MY KITCHEN
Foodie has a new cooker :-). Are you like me who loves loves new stuff, I get excited like a little child when new stuff comes in so I just had to share, maybe my pal Mona would relate. She is one of those people who will come “help” you unpack your stuff when you come from Nairobi, when I had just met her I used to think “wow what a helpful friend” only to later realise its her fetish for new stuff that actually made her help one unpack.
Anyway, I digress.
One of the things I really hated about my Kakuma kitchen at first was cooking with a Meko ( this is a 6kg gas cylinder with a burner) It would take me hours to make a complete meal as I could only make one dish at a time, then I Upgraded to a two burner stove
I was pretty happy but I always wished I could get the four burner but at that time the only available ones were the ones that came with a grill and oven and it was not practical to carry one to Kakuma( although I am still debating on this). So in April when I walked into a Nakumatt Supermarket wanting to buy a “prettier” two burner and saw a four burner table top stove, I was over the moon ( the things that excite you when your from the desert!!!) but unfortunately I did not have the baggage allowance to buy it so I left it and sent my gal Liz for it. The day she arrived I COULD NOT WAIT. I literally run out of my office into her house to get it so that I could go set it up and just look at it 🙂 heheheh . So now I am almost where I want to be all that’s missing is a cooker with an oven but my microwave plays that role for now. For now I will enjoy the four burner and for all of you with two burners its time for an upgrade!
