    This is so heart warming to see this part of Africa I believe if black America could have seen this part of Africa it would be flooded with a return I really do ,but as you know we don't see this part of Africa just like people don't see the bad part of. America. You have opened a lot of eyes. I just love you both thanks for showing this part of. Our land of opportunity

      Yes, Africa is always shown in the negative. Yeah, we have our problems or struggles, but there are many successful stories. The school system in America was polluting my kids about Africa, I had to take them on a vacation just two months ago, and they didn't want to come back.
      Whenever I say Ghana, their first question, are we going back?ua-cam.com/video/gM-_9SZ_v70/v-deo.htmlsi=ZUOBBS5yUl5VZzdR

    I find some solace in your videos, these days there are so many negativity in the world, and your channel is one of the few that I turn to time and time again to experience, the beauty and the simplicity and the inspiration of Nature, Love and Oneness of The Most High's cohesive Favor of Splendor to draw from.
    You both gave that to me and many others to be Grateful to look forward to. Your homestead is Unique and Lovely. Your fresh, organic Perspectives are Refreshing, Admirable and something to Treasure. Keep it coming, keep on living your lives and sharing. We Appreciate All.
    One Love to You both. Bigup Yourselves. One Love!❤

    @rafiqjennings5262 Рік тому +3

    The alifu looks really good. And I’m glad you showed us what a yam looks like because in America, we tend to think a yam, and a sweet potato are the same thing but seeing you with that yam let’s me know they are two different tubers. 😃
    I think it’s cool that you wanted to open up your own restaurant and had menus crafted. I suggest holding on to them to use in your meal planning. And when you’re ready to open up your property for tourism, you can use those menus to prepare meals for guests. And it’s cool you want to expand beyond the original pescatarian menu, you may want to keep pork out of menu. I’ve noticed Ghana has a Muslim population and from what I’ve seen in Dubai, they keep the pork separate from everything else (the Starbucks there was the first & only Starbucks I’ve been to that only has turkey sausage and bacon) because in islam pork is haram. So it’s possible serving pork would be an additional hassle because you will have to make sure that the pork doesn’t cross contaminate the other foods if you have Muslim visitors or people who don’t eat pork. But from what I’ve seen from your menu, the food items look great.

When I was in Ghana last month , I fell in love with the Plava sauce. I came back to the States and I have been watching videos on UA-cam University so I can make it myself. I will try it maybe this weekend. Thank you for bringing the village to us. Peace and blessings to the both of you ❤😊.
