Loving this list :-)You forgot to mention the most important i.e. favourite aunt Also favourite alcoholic drink – oh yes!
I thought your favourite phrase was ‘ngamia wewe’:-)
‘Doing loud burbs’ – tsk, tsk, where are your manners, child?
I have wonderful memories of ‘Racquel’, please post a photo soon
Mama JunkYard Says: I am not naming anyone as Fav. Aunty, that is looking for trouble.
Alcoholic Drink – Tia Maria and the very yuppy Corona with lime.
Manners? I know..makes you wonder how I was raised eh?
Oohh..Racquel is camera shy.

I thought of you this morning and I can’t get this song out of my head now! It’s doing my head in
Oh well, sing altogether now:
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things…
Mama JunkYard Says: That song gets in your head…though half the things they mention hardly count as my favourite things…ati cream coloured ponies? wild geese?

I also live peppers, esp green ones (“pili pili hoho” we called them) and potatoes are just genius pekee the way they transform themselves into chibbos and when baked in their skin they get tamu kabisa. I love mochas woi woi lakini that cream gives someone moustache ndevu.
Mama JunkYard Says: LMAO@ ndevu! For real potatoes are the best. Crisps, mukimo man…love them!
