It is a dull afternoon for an Easter Sunday and I am feeling a little uncreative so this is just a glimpse of the last few days through the eye of this Redmi Note.
I don't have its English name but this is 'gakaraku' for my clansmen and we use it to soothe the acidic fire of stomach ulcers.
The leaves are dried on a tray/pan with minimal heat until they can be ground to their powder form. We then take a tablespoon of the final result with a glass of milk or warm water.
Some of my current stash...
If you love coffee, gather around. I have often posted manicured tea beds and never have I done coffee bushes. What you are looking at is a flowering bush and to my surprise, this was my first time seeing one.
I have had the pleasure of seeing the coffee beans in their green forms like these or ripe red ones and even the brown dry ones... But never in their most beautiful form.
I grew up around tea but not coffee... But I am accustomed to taking both. Tea calms me down and coffee wakes me up.
Oh. And we also used coffee husks as fuel when I was growing up. Speaking of fuel, due to the crazy inflation that is ongoing, my cousin's wife had been looking for a cheaper way to keep their two-roomed house warm during this cold season and so I showed her how to make anthill soil charcoal briquettes.
My inner child had her fun doing this... And to still be able to do something that I was taught to me by my favourite girl at around eleven was equally fulfilling.
A few weeks' stock... 👌🏽
The 'secret' project that I have been working on... I want to rear some chickens and rabbits. I am yet to build for the rabbits but as you can see, the birds already have a home.
This was built solely on hive and up to now, it has cost not less than 300 dollars. It will be a source of income soon and one that acts as food security also as we love our chicken.
This is where we end today's tour... I hope you enjoyed your virtual trip.
