5 Random but oh-so-true Reasons to Pack your Lunch
I know, I know, packing your lunch doesn't sound like fun at all, well, not unless it looks like the photo above. Let's skip through 5 reasons it may not be so bad after all!
1. It's a great lunch-time conversation starter, assuming your food doesn't contain locust beans (iru, the world's most sensational ingredient). If it does, you shall be sitting by yourself, my friend!
2. It's probably cheaper than buying lunch.
3. /4. You should take your lunch to work or school, well, because you are such an awesome cook and someone does have to eat it or because you are the worst cook who ever walked the face of the earth and you need to improve your cooking skills with practice! It's a win-win!
Psst! YouTube is great for learning how to make new dishes and to improve your culinary skills!
5. Taking your lunch with you is probably healthier than buying lunch-you get to control the quality and quantity *side look*.
Do you take your lunch to work or school? Do you get questions about your food from colleagues? Wait, do you get a free buffet at work? Are you guys hiring? *Grin*
Heat Hack: 3 Zobo Recipes You Must Try
If you haven't had chilled Zobo (hibiscus leaves) out of an oblong transparent polythene bag on a torridly hot day, life is trying to rob you of an amazing experience! My childhood was sufficiently Zobo-ed but my adulthood, not so much. My last drink must have been when I was 12.
Therefore, the plan this summer is to make my own amazing Zobo coolers, so I can manage the amount of sugar I put in and play around with all those great flavors. It's going to be epic! *Chin Palm* Where am i going to find fresh Zobo leaves out here?? Where there is a will, there sure is a way!
Here are 3 recipes from Funke Koleosho, 9jafoodie and Fabila's fitness blogs! I'm so excited to share. Hit the links below and hack that crazy heat! #HowZoboTookOver #HackthatNigerianHeat #Summer
