and most of the pistachios and gently fold.

| Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad |
Hey guy, hope all is well.
It's been a while since I posted
(Is it me or sharing food posts during the peak rona period was
just something else),
2020 has been a very hectic but no worries I'm back.
On today's blog post I will be doing a Chickpea and Couscous Salad.
What I love about this salad is that you can
have it hot or cold and even substitute the ingredients with your own favorites.
I like to also add some add some
seasonal fruits and vegetables (really whatever you like mostly goes here).
In addition you can add some nuts and seeds to give it that nutty and crunchy texture,
you can have it as a salad or a side dish and it is really nutritious.

As part of the nationwide campaign, “What’s your Mmmzansi Flavour”, Simba®
has launched two more locally inspired flavours: Chakalaka and Shisanyama.
The campaign saw Simba®, with Anele Mdoda, one of SA’s most loved radio personalities,
calling for people far and wide to share their own Mmmzansi flavour,
reflecting all that our nation loves to eat.
South Africans jumped at the opportunity,
suggesting a variety of delectable homegrown flavours in celebration of both Simba®
and our nation’s rich, local heritage.
The two new flavours, Chakalaka and Shisanyama,
follow hot on the heels of the recently launched Chilli Biltong flavour
and were chosen because they are what South Africans most love to eat.
The combinations of meat and spice repeatedly came up as favourites,
and the pairings were created using dishes that have been on local menus for generations.
“Chakalaka and Shisanyama are such iconic South African foods,
enjoyed by millions in their homes each day.
Our intention is to capture these classic favourites into a bag of Simba® chips and
take people on a locally inspired flavour journey,” says Agnes Kitololo, Marketing Director at PepsiCo.
So, go instore and grab your packet of Simba®’s new Mmmzansi flavoured Chakalaka and Shisanyama chips.

Hey guy welcome back to the blog.
Yesterday I attended the Soweto Annual Kota Festival which was held at the
Elkah Cricket Field in Rockville.
The cricket field is a couple of streets away from where i reside,
so I took my nephews there.
On arrival we bought our tickets and went on to the field, this is a first local festival I
have attended in a while and I must say I was happy from the get go.
They had a variety of different kotaz(not sure what the plural for Kota is) and drinks.
They also had different stands for people promoting their business's
(I know that that there is a word about this).
The field had a nice flow I was really impressed, and also there was a lot of
parking space and security.
If I had to add a few things it would be a much bigger eating area
as the field allowed and the kids area could be much nice because it looked like an after thought.
Overall it was a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon and will most definitely be
going there next year.
Have a great day.
See you soon.
