Kanya vs Soft Nougat

Image
When I lived in Sierra Leone as a child, we used to eat this snack called Kanya, which was made of peanuts, sugar and Gari (grated cassava) or rice flour. There were no additives or preservatives, just pure organic deliciousness. The only time I've had it in the UK is when someone has given me some. My mum used to always know where to get some.  Last year when my flatmate went to Spain, she brought me this Soft Nougat.  As soon as I tasted it I thought it tasted very similar to Kanya. I finished it in no time. Because she remembered how much I enjoyed it, when she went to Spain again recently, she brought me some more Soft Nougat. It's amazing how both sweets have such different ingredients and yet taste so similar. I love both of them.  Thank you, God, for the Soft Nougat. ❤️  The ingredients of Soft Nougat: "Toasted almond (50%), sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, honey, stabiliser and egg white. "Contains Almond and eggs. May contain traces of other nuts, peanuts, ses...

About Tagging

While I was working at this event, I noticed this man who reminded me of someone I've worked with who I used to enjoy chatting to. I wondered how he was. The next day I received a  mysterious text from someone asking if I had applied to work at this particular company, as someone had told him I had. I told the person I hadn't and asked them to identify who they were as I couldn't see their name.  After giving me some clues I  realised it was the same work colleague I had thought of the night before. We used to be in a WhatsApp group so he obviously still had my number. I told him I had been thinking about him and wondering how he was.  As a Christian, I have the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) which connects us all. I believe when I thought of my colleague, he got "tagged" and he had to find a way to get in contact one way or another. 😊 As a Christian, we have the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) which connects us all. I believe when I thought of my collea...

Oneness with Christ

At the museum I was working at, I noticed these two men who were wearing similar glasses and looked almost identical. "Are you twins?" I said. "Most people think that, but we're not," one said. "Are you brothers?" I said. "No." "How come you look so similar?" "We've known each other since primary school and we've been best friends since then." "That is so sweet," I said. "Nice talking to you." The two friends reminded me of married couples who have been together for so long they look like brother and sister.  They are effectively one person inhabiting two bodies. I believe the moment I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour, I entered into a Divine Marriage with Him. All that I am and have belongs to Jesus and all that Jesus is and has belongs to me. I live in Him and He lives in me and is always with me. As my relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, grows deeper, I become more...

Cat-Sitting

Image
A few weeks ago, my flatmate told me she was planning a week away. I told her while I was happy to look after her cat, Zeus, I have no obligation to look after the stray cat, Loudmouth, that she feeds. She said Loudmouth will be fine. I said he'll probably find someone else to feed him. The reason why I didn't like Loudmouth was because he used to come in through the window and eat Zeus's food and Zeus would just sit there and let him. Because he's a stray, I didn't want him bringing in fleas. My flatmate assured me he won't come in if he's fed. Before my flatmate left yesterday for her holidays, I asked her where she kept Loudmouth's food, in case I have a change of heart. She showed me the cupboard where she kept Loudmouth's wet and dry food. She also said Loudmouth usually comes round at 7am. I laughed and told her Loudmouth has got her well trained. At 6.50 am this morning,  I noticed Loudmouth was already at the back door waiting while Zeus was ...

My Favourite Drink

When I went to get some drink from the cupboard where I store my drinks, I noticed two bottles of Vimto in there. What a wonderful surprise!  Thank you, God, for supplying my favourite drinks through my flatmate. ❤️ "Vimto is a British mixed fruit soft drink containing the juice of grapes, raspberries, blackcurrants, and black carrots flavoured with herbs and spices."

Pentecost Sunday

Happy Pentecost Sunday! We celebrate You, Holy Spirit, our Companion, Helper, Teacher and Spirit of Truth!  ❤️ Acts 2:1-4 NKJV [1] When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. [3] Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Image below created with Chatgpt

Pet Peeve

One of my pet peeves is people who jump the queue. When our bus arrived at the stop, we formed an orderly queue to get on, but this person not only jumped the queue and barged in, he didn't even pay to get on. Bus drivers usually stop fare dodgers, but this driver let this one get away with it. He might have been a cute golden retriever dog, but it's no excuse for him to jump the queue. Owners please train your pets to queue up. We are all British after all and queueing is what we do best. 😆
