Jael, your village videos refresh me, feel rejuvenated. This life makes me wonder why worry too much about life. This is basically what we need in life.
Thank you Jael, I always enjoy watching your videos. Just like you, I love seeing and hearing the sounds of rain. Especially, when I'm sleeping or napping 💤😴💤 I used to enjoy playing in the rain as a child. Even now that I'm a much older lady, I only use umbrella ☔ when the rain is heavy because I enjoy the rain drops on my face. Keep up the great job 👍🏾 Sis 💞
Hi Jael, hello from France. Each of your videos is a real pleasure to see and listen for me. I am 60+ and I like the way you remind me of my childhood in Cameroun. I also admire your journey back to the village and appreciate all the information you share with us. Concerning the sesame, you can use it in a savory way by grinding it once toasted. Same process as peanuts. You will get a butter called tahini that you can accomodate with a salad dressing for example or make hummus with a variety of beans. There's lot of recipes out there on RU-vid 😀
Our weather has been so unpredictable in east Texas, so much so that I've resorted to planting vegetables I've never planted before. I concentrate more on vegetables with more productivity, nutritional benefits, cut and come again, extreme heat and cold tolerant. All are doing very well. Your dessert reminds me of our over utilized (ha, ha) rice krispy treats we make and devour in the US. I think I'll try your recipe. It looks delicious also.
Country side is very beautiful place to live. I love it very much and please enjoy yourself sis because of the blessings of GOD ALMIGHTY upon your life. 2024 shall be fruitful for all of us AMEN
Hi Jael. As always lovely to be here and thanks for the beautiful video. Its really wonderful that you are starting on a healthy eating journey. A diet is a good place to start. I would like to share my experience. I am in my mid fifties and have tried many diets over the years. All I can say is that for me, none were sustainable. The mind is very tricky because whatever I denied it, it craved and craved until I gave in. As I got older I realized the trick was not to deny myself but to eat more consciously by eating less of or finding healthy alternatives to stuff like dairy products, refined sugars, wheat, meat etc. I used to eat very fast or talk or watch tv during meals but I slowed down and focused on my food in gratitude and silence....I also did and still do, periodic cleanses for one or two days in a month...But mainly I listen to my body more than my mind. The body never lies, it has an inbuilt intelligence and it knows exactly what it needs to be healthy if only I am willing to listen. Slowly eating healthy just evolved organically and became a part of my life, but I try not to deny myself. If I want ice cream, I will have some but interestingly, these days I find that my mind does not crave things as it did before. Now I can easily by pass things that I craved previously. It needs a bit of discipline and awareness initially but after a while there is no struggle and even my mind has come to love the feeling of lightness that eating better has brought to the body so it no longer works against me, well not so much as before😂 Anyway just thought I would share my experience. Thank you so much.
Oh and I love that you still play. I still play at my age, it keeps me feeling joyful, vibrant and actually helps me deal with difficult situations with more clarity and ease as I dont take myself or many things too seriously but I can still deal with them as needed. I have always felt that life is for living joyfully, there will be plenty of time later to be grave and dead serious😂
Wow! Thank you so much. I have been listening to people instead of my body 😅. This is really helpful. Happy new year,darling. Cheers to life and good health
@@jaelofthevillage Thank you and most welcome dear. As you diet pay keen attention to your body and note the foods that make you feel energized and light and those that make you feel lethargic or heavy, pretty soon you will see how to bring balance to your meals. All the best🥰
A pleasure watching your videos. Would like to try the snack recipe. Oh and I like how you feed the inner childoutside after the rain. Thank you for sharing these precious moments. Stay blessed 🌻
So cute, the child in you is fun to watch. Puddles are fun when you have the rubber boots on. I love the rain especially if the sun comes out after. Love the bird house. You can also make sesame snacks using dates as sweetener instead of sugar. Sesame seeds are yummy. Nice vdo!!
I remember seeing these snacks in Kenya but I didn't know that I could make them. Here in America they're sold mostly in Asian stores. I'll get some sesame seeds and make them myself now that I have the recipe. Thanks for sharing. I love all your shows
My sister I can identify with you, I loved playing in the rain, when I was younger. During the warmer days (Florida U.S.A), I allow our #5 granddaughter, run out just to experience the childhood I had♥️
It’s raining where I live in Texas too. It’s an unusually wet fall/winter because it’s dry where I live but we are going through a drought so every drop helps. I have never made the sesame candy but in the islands here in from, we use grated coconut but we have to cook it a little longer. Then there is the one we make with chopped coconut (cut into little pieces. With this one we boil the coconut until it’s tender and then add the sugar and boil until the syrup thickens. We do add vanilla, nutmeg and ginger to lift the taste. These are my favorite sweets but as I can’t control myself, I haven’t made them in years.
Happy New Year, Jael. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I wish you a blessed and successful new year, 2024. May you be able to accomplish all that you set out to do. I look forward to watching more videos from you. 🙏
Happy New year jael good to see you again in New year 2024 I see alot of rains over there what a blessing we thank God for everything and May he continue to bless the of your hands
Hey Jael, as usual, beautiful video. Thanks for sharing how to make sim sim. I got some gifted to me a while back and didn't know what to do with them. You have given me ideas and I will definitely make good use of them. A blessed new year to you.
🎉🎉🎉Jael, Happy New Year . we all have that inner child that loves playing in the rain. Guilty too for doing it. Just do not like the muddy area. I wash my hair at time when it rains heavy. Put on my beach clothes and have a blast !!!
Hello Jael. Happy New year. It's gale storms here, not fun at all as a huge tree has been cleanly uprooted cutting off the entrance to my road, damaged cars but no one was injured. Still, seeing you making the sesame sweets has cheered me up❤❤😊😢.
Happy New Year Jael. I missed your videos. What a blessing to have showers of rain. Your videos inspire me alot and I have learnt so much from your vlogs. I never knew how to prepare sesame, now I know and I will try it. They look yummy and delicious. You’re a great and hardworking lady. I speak blessings upon you dear ❤
Sim sim as we call it does well in dryer area, my grandparents used to grow it. I love the sim sim snacks, used to make it all the time. Do you make banana bread ? So good Jael. I miss that sweet banana. Happy New Year 🎆
Jael im with you i love to bathe in the rain even though im an adult now😊..im from Trinidad and Tobago and i used to make this very snack, we call then benne balls but the shapes differ ..we make sticks or squares like you just did...wow..benne and sesame seeds are the same
Happy new year Jael! Thank you for sharing this recipe, look’s quick and easy, will def try it.. We normally use Sesame (Beneaeed) to make soup to eat fufu, that is the traditional soup where my dad comes from in Nigeria. It tastes slightly bitter though, but I love it.
I love simsim sweets! I didn't know it was this easy to make. I too struggle with reducing my sugar intake. Simsim itself is healthy but not interesting without the sweetener. There's the option of Stevia which has zero calories, but it doesn't stick. What to do, Jael???🤔
@@jaelofthevillage I've actually done a little research out of desperation😅. Dates are sticky and can be an option coz they're less glycaemic than sugar💫
It rained cats and dogs in Uganda today and I was honestly shocked because we are in Jan and it’s supposed to be super dry but nooo, we had floods and stuff
Hi, Jael. Thank you for sharing beautiful life in your village. Here in SW USA, some rain, 35-45 degrees, lots of autumn leaves with acorns, magnolia trees with lots of cones, cotton wood trees with heavy large brown leaves, very tall crepe myrtles trees, and tall silverado bushes which bears sweet smelling lavender colored blossoms - it is amazing to watch the bees swarming doing their work - in season.
I'm in Minnesota and it finally snowed here but while we're used to negative temperatures it's now above 30 degrees for January that's unusual I love sesame seeds candy bars too
