Alone, I would just drink regular tea, chai latte, black tea or milkshake. Some days, I do caramel latte, hot chocolate, caramel nut cracker latte or normal black tea, three sugars, no milk at home. Recently, I discovered latte at Nevis Bakery. On the main, scottish breakfast, cinnamon rolls, butter croissant, egg toast, nuts, salmon, or egg sandwich and mcmuffins. That's breakfast.

I forgo lunch on most days. Or i eat fruit. Dinner on the other hand is quite basic; rice beans or githeri. On Saturdays, I just mix up leftovers; noodle egg and sausage; go traditional ugali omena/eggs; do a pasta mincemeat parm.cheese; egg and fried rice or double beef burger.

But last Spring, I switched it up. The week's planning constant, weekends were time for sampling new recipes and recording them in my book. In summer, I could go all the way starters, main dishes, desserts.

Enjoy our cocktails as well, made from the ones we sampled on the last date and discover with me the best barbeques to pair it with.

The Community Hall

We had an African meet at the community hall. Familiar faces and familiar foods were brought together. The exhilaration from the Highland’s fading away; the Ben, the Glen and Lochs. I’ll never get enough of the architecture; and we still have sites left to go visit. As, a community, we worked in teams to set up meals and our organizer did much of the paperwork. I did a bun recipe. I know bread and tea is a staple breakfast. So, here is: Love my buns INGREDIENTS 1 Packet 1 kg

Fish n Chips

Macari’s Fish n Chips is my favorite spot and haddock and fries with vinegar and mayo on the side is my favorite go-to. Other spots in Fort William you can go to are Fishy fishy, Ben Nevis Takeaway, Ben-Nevis Bar, Crannog Seafood Restaurant, Highland Basecamp Bistro and Blas na Mara. Climbers love Trails End Café at Nevis Range and The Bistro. Commoners or tourists alike go for The Geographer, The Malt Man, Black Isle Bar, Ben Nevis Bar, The Highland Cook and Ben Nevis Inn.

Treats I Made

My romanticism of cafes is dying out as the season heightens. I’m leaning more towards home-prepped meals. Now that my shelf is clean, I realize the need to get creative with my leftovers. I made a gazillion treats last week. Today, I re-imagine Kenya’s staple lunch; rice and potatoes with a touch of ghee. Mushroom with Tortillas in Minced Pork I had some mushrooms over for Scottish breakfast. However, I did not use them over the week. So I diced them alongside the tortillas.
