The Weekend project: Slow Cooker Sweet Chili BBq Pulled Pork
For the longest time I have prayed, coveted, lusted, begged almost stolen a slow cooker. I have told my family to get me one as a gift. I really really wanted one.

Borewors is made from 90% minced meat and 10% spices. Mutura is made with 90% innards (intestines, tripe-Matumbo-) 10 % blood and spices.
Weekend Project: Making Pasta from Scratch With No Machine
I have mentioned a few times before on the blog that I have never really been a big fun of pasta. Not sure why though because you can make pretty awesome dishes like this penne carbonara I shared a few years back, or even as something simple as pasta with garlic and mushrooms and plus my mum is a pretty awesome cook and she always had such fun ways to make pasta. That is even how I learnt about different pasta shapes from when I was a little tot unlike most Kenyans. I think it is just one of those things, same way I do not like chapati much neither mandazis. Nothing wrong with them just not my fav. Like rice.
