Afropolitan Vibes

Last week Friday was just my kind of Friday. Good people, Live music and serious dancing. Everyone knows I'm an Afrobeat girl, so when I heard that Ade Bantu was going to be at freedom park I knew I had to be there. And I did not regret it. I was lucky to be in the company of two wonderful ladies; Tobi and Francesca and we danced the night away. Hopefully you can get a sense of our evening from the pictures.

Ade Bantu is an amazing performer and he knows how to get the party started, I loved the energy that night at freedom park and I'll definitely be going to more concerts in the park.

Love and Afrobeat,
Sabirah

Food : Breakfast wrap

Most Saturdays I want to eat a big breakfast mostly because I have the time to enjoy cooking it, and eating it slowly like I like to eat my food. This Saturday though I had waited too long and I was starving but I still wanted something delicious. So I looked to the fridge for inspiration.

Egg, cheese and bell pepper wrap (Serves 2)
You will need :
4 pieces of lavash (lebanese flat bread)
3 eggs
1 red bell pepper,sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
half of a small onion, chopped
A handful of good shredded cheese, I used gouda
salt and pepper to taste

Warm your lavash either in an oven or a pan and set aside. In a small pan heat up a teaspoon of a light oil and cook your onions till they are soft and fragrant. Add the sliced peppers and stir fry for about three minutes and set aside.

In a small bowl whisk the three eggs together and pour into the pan, scramble until they are set, scoop onto the wrap and immediately top with the shredded cheese, add the pepper and onions and carefully wrap the bread. I used two pieces for each wrap








Wrap the bottom of the wrap in foil to avoid and spills and enjoy with some fresh juice.

Have a great weekend everyone!
Love always,
Sabirah.

March!

February just ran! I mean it was a busy month but I wasn't quite ready for it to be over.

It's been a whirlwind

Teaching isn't easy

I mean I knew that, but this is the real deal, sure I close work early and get long vacations but they are more than deserved. It is draining. Let no one lie to you, it's not the easy way out.

2 weeks ago I fell apart in class, I was frustrated, no one was listening to me and I just flipped. It scared my students for a bit, but guess what? By the next week they were back to the usual. It's hard to be motivated when the people you're trying to help are working against you.

Don't get me wrong; my students are intelligent, creative, funny and honest among other things but they are children and they just want to play. Sometimes they want to learn and I enjoy them, sometimes we play games but they never quite know when to stop. They are children, I am an adult, I can handle this. Repeat 10 times.

It's not easy but I think it's worth it, I think I can not only do it, but I can be great at it. I believe, I just need to be ready to WORK. To do more than is expected, to go above and beyond. It's difficult. But I'm trying.

Meanwhile It's so weird seeing some of the parents of children in the baby class, I mean their mom's are like hot and young and making it. I'm like what about me? they my age range... Everyone's time is different I guess but it makes me wonder how different life can be for people of the same age based on the choices they've made..

Have a great week, make "good" choices

Love always,

Sabirah
