Don't you just love getting to the middle of the week? It means the weekend is just around the corner ๐๐๐. So speaking of weekend, happy belated Labour/May day to you all.๐๐ I hope you enjoyed the gift that was a long weekend. I already alluded to the fact that I did in my last post.
So what did I get up to?☺ Well I had a bomb wash day on Friday with my new haul of Dr. Miracles products๐, then I had a lazy Saturday and baked๐ฐ, so I was in my happy place๐. On Sunday I went to church and got refreshed๐ (hearing the gospel message is always amazing), did my cousin Chacha's yarn braids while we watched a lot of t.v. and cooked up a storm๐๐๐ฒ. Finally on Monday, after doing the cutest Princess Elsa themed cake๐, I went on a road trip with some of the youth from our bible class and had the most amazing time๐ญ. Can you say full weekend?
The adventure went like this:
The road trip was to Kafue town and we ended up on the bank of the Kafue river. If you haven't taken that drive and seen the views through a tourist's eyes *read lens* then you need to stop what you're doing, grab your diary and pencil it in. Zambia is amazing you guys.๐ I couldn't stop taking pictures of the breathtaking views.๐ท
So we got there and took a couple of speed boats act is the river to our destination. Haha, I wasn't ready you guys. Kasela (who planned the day) got us into teams and had us working against each other to build fires ๐ฅand make hot dogs๐ฃ from scratch. This was like outdoor trips to Ndubaluba (an awesome outdoor camp in Mkushi that's near to Chengelo School) all over again. I was low-key thrilled๐ I've missed those trips so much. It was so much fun and I got to know/see sides of some people that I've never seen before. I can't wait till our next one. (Thanks Kasela!)

How did we make a banana split over a fire though? I was sceptical too when I heard it first, but it was the most simple recipe ever. Like, 'your little cousins/siblings could do it' simple. Don't believe me?

Ingredients
- One banana
- A handful of chocolate chips
Method
- Slice through one side of a banana with it's peel still on so it's almost open in half lengthwise.
- Pour the chocolate chips in the center and peel off the rest of the skin.
- Wrap banana in foil and toss into fire (or oven) to bake/roast for a few minutes just so your chocolate chips melt
- Serve warm with ice cream (optional, but who doesn't like ice cream? ๐)
And that's it! This recipe is courtesy of Lizu Chinyama ๐ thank you for introducing this to me friend! I've added it to the rest of my banana bake recipes. Please note that lack of proper plates and tables led to awkward food pictures. Lol.
My cookies need attending to, so I'll see you all tomorrow๐. As always, let me know if you give the recipe a go.
Bisous.
