OH BABY ITS HOT// Lifestyle, recipes, salad

THE HEAT IS ON..... what to make?

Well this week has brought us summer temperatures and heat, will be over 30C for days. Not what I like, but just have to make the best of it.

One thing that I have been looking at are some simple , easy recipes to try out. Something cool and easy to make. When the heat is on I usually make a favourite cold cucumber soup and serve with cold cuts, slices of baguette and fresh vegetables.

CHICKEN SALAD with MANDARINES this recipe I use to make ,(before moving here) its DELICIOUS and simple. So when I found a recipe I thought I share it. PS I don't bother with the pears, the mandarines are enough , (it is slightly different to what i remember , the chicken was marinated in the dressing and then cooked.)

1/2 qt. Kraft Poppyseed Dressing

1 cups Frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

8 qt. Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces

3 qt. Cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped

1-1/4 qt. Canned pear slices, drained

1 qt. Canned mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 qt. Green onion, chopped

1/2 qt. Raisins or dried cranberries

MIX Dressing and orange juice concentrate until well blended.

TOSS Romaine, chicken, pears, orange segments, onions, and raisins in large bowl.
ADD Dressing; mix lightly. Serve immediately.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement .
