I've been gone for a while...

 

Salaam alaikum and hi everyone💓!

It has honestly been a while. How have you all been? 

Um, so before I get into the main post, I’d like to talk about my soft frog. So you see, one evening, I went outside after watering the plants and the grass to turn off the pump that pumps water into the house because the tank was filled.

Now, I went out without slippers because you know, I'm weird like that. Anyway, my feet were directly on the wet grass and yes, I was irritated by it. So… I’m tiptoeing because I'm looking out for snakes and scary creatures, plus wet grass is weird and all of a sudden, I feel something wet. On my foot. My right foot.

 I look down, and lo and behold, there’s a small frog on my foot. An amphibian. On my foot. I scream because why not? There was a frog on my foot for God's sake. Now, I ran back towards the house because… I seriously have no idea (rolls eyes, an afterthought “Drama queen”). After recovering from my shock that gave me extreme trauma (again, rolls eyes dramatically), I’m able to turn off the pump and run back indoors.

While I'm sitting down and kind of panicking because it wasn’t a baby frog, it was a teenage frog maybe. Spotted and a greenish-yellow colour. I still feel the frog on my foot. You know, phantom frog.

That brings me to the important part of this story.

One, the frog was soft and adorable. I kinda miss it.

Two, I'm not a fan of wet things. Seriously, yuck!

Three, soft frogs might be poisonous but I guess we’ll never know unless “I float too...

 

Final note: I’m probably losing my eyesight. Sigh!

Anyway, since I exhausted the space I was supposed to keep for my actual topic, this will become a blog post of its own. Enjoy. Also, comment any weird experiences you’ve had, and have you seen any soft frogs?

Stay safe and healthy. Khuda hafiz and byeee!

Oh and happy Easter!

Happy New Yearrrr🎉🎉🎉🎉

 Assalam alaykum. My lovelies, it has been an amazing year of experiences, gratitude, turmoils and most importantly survival. I'm thankful that I have amazing friends and family and even frenemies. I have a gazillion *I'm not sure it's a word but okay whatever😂* things to be thankful for, people to be thankful to. I've had my rough patches and so have you all, the important thing here is that we pulled through. We survived. It's not just because of ourselves. Nope. Definitely not. We have people to be thankful to and thankful for. I'll start by thanking Almighty Allah fro granting me life throughout this year. In times where I believed I was going insane, you Ya Allah helped me pull through by showing, actually giving me love and support directly and indirectly. Thank you for everything. My wonderful family. My mother, father, sisters and other relatives. Thank you for bearing with me when I was acting my worst even though you had your own problems. Th...

Iftar post #1

Salaam alaikum everyone! Ramadan Kareem🤍!!! How are you all?   I’m fine and I would like to share one of my favorite recipes during Ramadan with you all. I know it’s Hausa name and it is called “ Kunun Gyada” . If I roughly translate it to English, It would mean Groundnut milk and rice gruel. Yes, the English meaning may not be appetizing but I promise that it is absolutely delicious. Warning: Not to be consumed by those with Peanut and peanut related allergies. I’m not sure of the dietary information. I’d recommend preparing this for iftar. For iftar, there’s usually a mini feast with multiple dishes from fruit salads to main dishes. So yeah, and if there are left overs you can have that for sahur bearing in mind that it’s actually quite light.   My mommy always made this for some of our iftars and I’ve loved them ever since. So I learnt the recipe and here it is. There are multiple ways to make this, I mean that there are different variat...
