RARE REPENTANCE BY NATIONAL LEADERS IN AFRICA

This event is amazingly rare, and Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga show world leaders how to defuse a very bad situation nationally.

This is indeed a day of thanksgiving as two men prove themselves to be humble enough, and manly enough, to bury the hatchet, or we might say the spear. These two men have reset Kenya back to a time when tribalism did not destroy lives and the peace.

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

THESE TWO MEN HAVE THE POWER TO BRING PEACE TO KENYA

The problem is...............

TRIBALISM

So, Christians in Kenya need to pray that God will soften these two men toward one another. Perhaps they will find some sort of common ground and bring peace.

IS THIS SATIRE, OR INSANE INDIAN DRAMA?

I confess that, even though I am an ex patriot Wog, I am not sure how to take this. I choose therefore to assume if is satire on tough guy movies, and as such, it is an absolute riot. First rate as satire.

HOW TO MAKE BROWN ONIONS

Hey, this video has only been viewed just over 700 times. All  you expatriate Wogs need to understand that brown onions are the key to Indian cooking. 

You curry will be blah if you do not add brown onions. Your biryani will be bully with brown onions. Let's face it, all ye fans of Raj curry, brown onions make the world go around.

Chef Harlap Singh shows you this trick. I want to try this and add these brown onions to an omelette.

I know. You Expatriate Wogs are whining, wondering why I have gone bonkers for cooking. Well, most Wogs I know from the British Colonial days are amateur chefs. I have the honor of being the one to check the curry pot just before serving, and I add the secret ingredients.

I will tell you a couple of my secrets.

1. Coffee- Add a bit of instant coffee to the pot. It does something subtle and romantic to the curry.

2. Add a bit of sugar..... Not enough to taste it, but a little sugar will clandestinely turn on the sweet taste buds, and you will fool the victims into thinking you are a curry expert.

3. Jamun- Again, just a little to get that tricky flavor of the plum.

4. Safron will deepen the yellow color without having to add too much turmeric. To little turmeric kills the curry, and too much turmeric makes the curry taste like mud. 

5. Make sure the curry powder is abundant. While many of your victims will gasp and claim they are being punished unjustly by your hot curry, they will clean the pot out in spite of themselves. The last thing you want to over hear is, "His curry is hot, but I have eaten hotter." Let no one say this about you.

For the post Colonial amateur curry eaters, have a dish of yogurt on hand to cut the heat.

There are my free tips for the chef in your house.

Not to vorry (with sincere head wag).

IF US FOOTBALL WAS REAL, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

I have never had much zeal for US Football since I watched Rugby being played long ago in Kenya. This game is fantastic, and it shows the lateral being used masterfully. The lateral is absolutely avoided in modern American Football. Why?

THOSE HEROIC WOGS DOWN UNDER-- ANZAC SOLDIERS

Nothing needs to be added to Slim Dusty's song:

MAMBA ! ! ! ! ALL EXPATRIATE AFRICAN WOGS UNDERSTAND

These people in Swaziland are amazing. I grew up in Africa, and one of the most terrifying cries to hear is someone yelling, "MAMBA"!

Where I live in Tanzania and Kenya, we have the black and the green mamba, and both were deadly of course. We did not see nearly as many as these people do in South Africa.



Please remember that fully two thirds of the people bitten by poisonous snakes were trying to kill them. In the US the rattle snake has a limited striking distance, but he has long fangs. In Australia there are many poisonous snakes, but they have short fangs which does reduce the seriousness of strikes where any clothing is worn. But, the Aussie snakes are very deadly.

If you want to be prepared for snake bite, research the common idea of suction after a snake bite. The venom flows through the lymph system, not the blood system. So, bleeding is suspect at best. A special stretch bandage is preferred which is available online.

Brand name, Setopress.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

SECOND SITE

I bought a suction device that was highly recommended, but later I read research from Australia and from California that found it only drew out 2% of the venom. The sales pitch claims up to 80%. The research made me very skeptical, so we have the pressure bandage and the suction device. If you can get to a hospital in reasonable time, I would strongly suggest bypassing the suction method and apply the pressure bandage and go straight to ER.

Reviews on Amazon and elsewhere are not from people who were bitten and used the suction device. They are from people who bought it and were impressed by the cleverness and ease of use. So was I, but I had to admit that and decide to go with the research.

If you are bitten, call for help, and try not to panic or run or rub the limb.  That will only move the poison to be absorbed faster. In the US wear snake chaps when wandering in the woods or working there. In Africa the chaps would help, but the mambas and cobras often strike high.

Keep watching.
