Kenyan Cooking: Bones or Meat

This is what happens in Kenya when you choose to buy your meat from the butchers shop in a small market than in an upmarket supermarket. Anyway I love buying from them because we need to keep everyone eating .... otherwise these people tomorrow will be out of job.
But now Im really mad with this guy because I bought 2 kilos of meat and 431 grams was bones. The thing is Im going back to him today to buy more meat but will present my argument to him that he messed up last time so today for the same price I need a small bone or no bone atall...what do you think his reaction is going to be?

Outdoor Kitchen

Summer is here once again and I’m already in barbecue mood. I love those summer evenings spent at my in-laws in the hills relaxing and eating, and it is not only my family, but many families who in this season spend a lot of time with friends outdoors relaxing and socializing and – above all – preparing meals. Barbecues and grills are in high demand during this time. Home-owners with outdoor space for entertaining are constantly on the lookout for new ideas on how to make that space more luxurious and entertaining.
Outdoor kitchens comes in all sizes and styles. When you are planning on your outdoor kitchen there are a few things to consider space, budget, safety, permits and layouts. When you have this figured out then you can decide on your style and make. Before you even make a purchase you could check out various websites from companies that cater to this need. By the time you go to the shop itself you already have an idea of what your needs and tastes are that is everything is figured out before.


The thought of summer, food and entertaining made me a bit curious and I went around looking on the internet for some outdoor kitchen ideas. The first place I found was Outdora. Its amazing how in one shop like that you will have everything figured out when it comes to variety. They have a whole selection on outdoor kitchens based on types and brand names. So it's up to you to choose if you are into lynx or viking. And you can not only choose based on brand names: your may find yourselves hesitating when having to decide between freestanding, built-in and portable models. Whether you like gas-fired or charcoal-fired, Outdora has it all figured out for you to make your home outdoors a happier place.

Outdoor kitchen spaces adds not only a touch of elegance but also there is easy participation of family and friends in cooking and preparations because it is more fun.
Enjoy your summer and if you have extra space, barbecue is something you should start considering it doesn't have to be complicated but just something that fits to your budget but brings fun and comfort to the way you enjoy your summer.
