  1. Let’s put that homemade butter to good use. The difference between butterscotch and caramel is the preparation process and the sugar that’s used. *The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Butterscotch - 1/4 cup butter - 1 cup brown sugar - 300 ml cream Caramel - 1 cup caster sugar - 1/4 cup butter - 300 ml cream - 1/4 tsp salt #Butterscotch #Recipe #Caramel #ButterscotchSauce #CaramelSauce #Yum #Tasty #EasyRecipe #Cream #CastorSugar #BrownSugar #ButterscotchRecipe #ButterscotchSauceRecipe #CaramelSauceRecipe #Delicious #Desserts #Sugar #Sweet

  2. Mutura is one of the easiest things to make, it’s just a process but a very rewarding one☺️ I love this delicacy especially when it’s made right. - 2Kg of Matumbo (tripe )and goat meat - 500 g Mara (intestines) - salt to taste - 1 onion thinly sliced - 1 tsp garlic ginger paste - 1 chili (optional) #delicacy #Recipe #Kenya #KenRecipe #Tripe #GoatMeat #Goat #Barbecue #reel #InstagramInstagramReal#Delicious #Delicacy #Yum #food

  3. Nice biscuits are such a treat. Make these perfect snacks for the kids with me. - 1/2 cup butter - 1/2 cup brown sugar ( you can use less if you don’t like your cookies too sweet) - 1 tsp vanilla essence - 1/4 cup milk - 1 1/2 cups flour - 4 teaspoons desiccated coconut - pinch salt - 1/2 tsp baking powder * set cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes and bake at 180° until they brown #nice #NiceCookies #Cookies #Foodie #Snack #Instareel #Instagram #InstagramRecipe #Instagramreels #Reel #Recipe #Butter #Coconut #BakingEasyBaking

  3. Home Alone kind of Sunday... The boys went swimming with their awesome Aunt @nyambura_karinga Fatigue has the better of Njoki and myself, so rest we must! Thank God for instant noodles though 🙌🙌🙌 Also found 4 uncooked chicken wings in the freezer, and some grated Mozzarella cheese in an old ice cream container... How this happened, I will never know 🤣 But these made the perfect quick fix this lazy Sunday. #noodles #chicken #wings #chickenwings #cheese

  3. We arrived at our castle like home for the week to find a pleasant surprise waiting for us in our rooms. For the ladies, a tartan sash and brooch. For the gents, a traditional Scottish Kilt. Ahead of dinner we gathered in the foyer of our hotel and instinctually began to inspect and adjust each other’s wardrobe. Once we had given each other the all clear, it was a short ride to The Malt Barn at @glenfiddichwhisky distillery. We disembarked from our coach to be welcomed by a Highlander and his Bagpipes. The sun had just set and it was now time to begin the festivities. In place of a traditional seating card, guests found their way to their seats by identifying a personalized bottle of Glendfiddich 15yo with their name on it. The moment we were all seated and settled, the bagpipes started up again, ushering in the star course of the evening- Haggis. In keeping with Scottish tradition, we were treated to the poem by Robert Burns, Address to a Haggis. “Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the pudding-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm : Weel are ye wordy o'a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o'need, While thro' your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An' cut you up wi' ready sleight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like ony ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin', rich!” It was a night of culture…filled with food, singing, dancing and whisky. Slàinte. #glenfiddichwhisky #distillery #tour #scotland #kilt #haggis #thebathing #glenfiddichambassador
