5 THINGS TO DO

-Go shopping! You can save up to 30% off on luxury brands (dedicating a reel to this topic) & vintage shop too!
- Visit outside of Paris (even if it’s for half a day)
Versailles is just about 45mins away.

 It’s the month of love and no where screams ❤️ ( perfectly marketed anyways) love like Paris 
IMO, Paris isn’t just for lovers, it’s for art lovers, history buffs, foodies, shoppers & more! 

Story time:
My love for Paris started in college the semester I took a western civilization class. So in the year 2006 about 2+ years after we started dating I mentioned to @fotosbyfola that I planned on visiting London & Paris in the fall. He had never been to either of the countries so he said sure why not!

We purchased our tickets & planned to spend 2 nites in Paris (cos that’s what we could afford 😀) & we spent the rest of our week long trip in London at my sister’s.

We took the Eurostar to Paris & stayed at Hotel de Flore (our room was so tiny😂) We spent our money on museums vists, tourist attractions & lots of croissants. We got lost a few times, ran into communication issues with locals (no app translating apps back then) froze our asses off cos November but honestly I left with my heart FULL. 

Maybe that’s why I keep coming back here 🤷🏾‍♀️ Our travel adventure started here over 16yrs ago😊 Stay tuned for a new Travel Series starting tmrw.

The most underused service when you book a 4 or 5 The most underused service when you book a 4 or 5 star ⭐️ Hotel/Resort is concierge service. 
All the tips listed are accessible via concierge and you DON’T have to pay extra for some of the services. Worth reading 👇🏾

-Airport Concierge Service
(Someone meeting you at your arrival gate) I have used this service a few times and let’s just say it’s a game changer! No more lifting baggages, faster passport control, no getting lost in a new airport.
-Prebook your Airport ride
This ensures a swift departure from the airport. You don’t have to walk about waiting on rideshare or sometimes sketchy taxi stands.
-Use Hotel Concierge to book taxis vs rideshare.
As much as I like rideshare service & it’s flexibility I have had quite a few bad experiences from drivers taking longer route to straight up scary situations. Taxis are vetted & oftentimes work with hotel to ensure you have a pleasant experience.
-Let your Hotel know in advance that you’re there to celebrate a special occasion. Room upgrades, champagne, etc for FREE are some of what you’re missing out on!
-Let Concierge handle dinner reservations, arrange excursions & score tickets to shows in town. Same as above, send an email in advance.

Jollof rice, Misc, Recipes, Uncategorized · April 22, 2015

Basmati Jollof Rice recipe

Hi and thanks for stopping by my blog! I am continuing with another blog post for today and this was specially requested by a dear friend. As an African especially being from Nigeria, Jollof rice is a staple dish. Its our go to food for celebrations, you can always find Jollof rice on the menu at weddings, birthdays, etc. It is my favorite Nigerian meal, add a few pieces of Stewed Chicken, some Fried Plaintain and I am in food haven 🙂

 I try to make it every Sunday for my family. My kids especially, can’t get enough of it. I switched to making mine with Basmati rice because its healthier than using White rice. It taste just as good and you don’t get that heavy feeling as with White rice. Here is my super easy recipe, try it out and let me know what you think. This whole process takes me about 1 hour.

Ingredients:

Basmati Rice ( 8 cups)

6 tomatoes

2 bell peppers

1/2 red onion

6 scotch bonnet(I love mine a bit spicy)

Olive oil

One canned tomatoe puree

Choice of seasoning (Black Pepper, Salt, Knorr cubes, Curry)

Place your rice in a rice cooker, add water until it covers the rice and a little more. This is the most critical part, if you add too much water your rice becomes mushy. I also add 4 tablespoons of olive oil because Basmati rice tends to get dry. Plug in your rice cooker and allow to cook. You can do this by heating on the stove too.

Blend all the fresh ingredients together.

Place an empty pot on the stove and add your oil and allow to heat up. Add your blended pepper mix to the hot oil. Add your choice of seasoning and allow to cook for 25 minutes. 

Reduce the heat on the cooked sauce and add your canned tomatoe puree, more seasoning and 5 tablespoons of olive oil, stir this mix until completely blended for about 10 minutes. This is where you do the taste test too, maybe more salt or water if its salty. 

Add your cooked rice into your sauce and stir it completely, covering every grain with the sauce. Cover your rice and steam for 10-15 minutes. Viola, you have made Basmati Jollof rice!

    Ah – this is very different from others I've seen! I can't wait to try this one. When you say 8 cups – is that 8 cups dry rice or does it make 8 cups after you cook it?

One minute I was feeding/hanging out with the swim One minute I was feeding/hanging out with the swimming pigs of No Name Cay when this happened😩
(See my stories for the original video)

They were clearly having an argument about something & I wasn’t trying to be a part of their drama but my coverup decided to betray me at that very moment 🤦🏾‍♀️😂
I never share bloopers cos half the time it happens when the camera isn’t on but this was so hilarious I had to share 🤣 

Do share with someone who could use a laugh 😆 
Y’all still go see the pigs though when in Abaco. It’s something fun to do here😀
