I don’t know about you guys but, whenever I heard this line from my elders I would feel slightly frustrated. I mean, the elderly are living in the 22nd century. That stuff doesn’t matter anymore.

A wooden instrument with long metal rods, which when flicked, create a resounding, high-pitched sound, the kalimba was something that fascinated me.

I wanted to share one of my most delicious yet simple recipes: noodle soup. I made this dish for my family on multiple occasions and it is always a surefire hit. Even better, this is not the kind of recipe that takes 8 hours to painstakingly create a homemade broth. In fact, it only takes…
