The African Cherry Cocktail

This is long overdue, I’m so sorry.

So, there’s more to enjoying the African cherry (Agbalumo, Udara, Otien) than popping it in your mouth and enjoying its fleshy juices. That can’t be all.

The curiosity that led to the first cooked meal must definitely have led to the discovery of the African cherry cocktail.
I’m sure you must be wondering by now where the juice from the cocktail will come from, I wondered at first, but now I know.

Without further ado, you need the following for the cocktail:

3 African cherry
2 Tablespoons honey
3 Scent leaves
1 teaspoon ginger powder
A tablespoon of sugar
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon Angostura Bitters (or any other bitters)
2 shots of Hennessy (Optional)

The Hennessy has a sweet undertone to complement this drink but you can it have this drink as a mocktail instead if you choose not to add alcohol.

Method
Wash and peel your agbalumo fruits scraping the seeds and the skin for all the elements of the fruit into a bowl.

In a blender, pour in the agbalumo scrapings, scent leaf, honey, sugar, ginger powder and water.
Blend till smooth. Pour over a sieve into a bowl or jug to get the pulp out of your drink

Stir in the angostura bitters and at this point add the Hennessy and serve your agbalumo cocktail over ice.

Failure!

Failure. A word no one wants to associate with. Failure is a negative word. No one wants to be called a failure or acknowledge failure. However, it's almost inescapable. We fail so that we can succeed oftentimes. Also, failure teaches us to lookout for the missing ingredient (s) and position ourselves not to leave out that important ingredient again. Failure isn't a random rain drop. It's usually a result of some activities. When we fail, what do we do? What's our approach to failure? How do we channel our failure and ensures it leads to success at the end of the day? First, there is the need to come to terms with the failed end result and realise that failure doesn't mean the end of our dreams and the pursuit of our goals. Self forgiveness is highly important here. Some of us are prone to being judgemental. We think no good of ourselves and over critise and condemn ourselves. We can't move past that failure if we keep putting ourself down. R...

YOU ARE NOT UNEMPLOYED

To be unemployed means to be jobless, to not be in a paid employment, to not be in use. Credit: Getty Images So, are you unemployed? The fact that you are not officially on the list of employees in a firm or organization does not make you unemployed. Even if you are not an entrepreneur in any form, you are still not unemployed. Yes, the fact that you have something to do (you are not jobless) you are of value (in use) and can get a form of remuneration (be paid for what you do) means you are not unemployed. You are unemployed and in fact unemployable if you are totally jobless, have no value that makes you useful and cannot be paid in return for certain products, services or value added.

Ain't sulking

Our lives are very important, it's the basis of every other thing. Without your life, you can't claim to love certain persons, to love some activities and so on. Death is said to be inevitable, that means we all are going to be gone sometime. Why then should we live with regrets, why should we have a malicious habit, why should we be greedy, why should be unrepentant and unaccomodating, why should be sad,why should we hate? Death is a life time bomb,it can explode at anytime, and when that happens, its main target is life,our life's. Let us love our lifes, let us love our selves, let's be willing to leggo when we are supposed to. Let us hold hands,let us smile, let us embrace, let us kiss our loved one's, let us suck in the air hungrily, after all, it's free! The essence of life is love, when hate and anger takes over, then death comes closer and very painful.
