Liberian banana cake 🍌

I am very found of “the little life”. By that I mean, every day life, like starting the morning with a cup of tea. Reading the news, talk to some friends, make a cake, write here, make a dinner etc. There are many small things in life that are important and maybe you have your own little things.

Right now, a lot happens in the world, and the conflict USA-Iran is concerning everybody. This is not a local conflict. This is a global issue. I just saw the news on TV4 (Sweden), and I must say that I am impressed by the reporters knowledge on history, geography, politics etc . It is not only to have a lot of knowledge since it is difficult to put this information together, make an analysis, and then formulate questions to politicians responsible for international relations. I believe reporters have a very important role sharing news, because even though the USA and Iran are far from Sweden geographically, these tensions spreads rapidly. Social media like twitter is world wide instant communication. A lot of people from the Middle east region and the USA live in Sweden. They are in daily contact with their families and friends living in Iran and the USA. Their worries about families and friends affects everybody. So, my conclusion is that it is very important to understand that even though this conflict is geographically far from Nordic countries, it affects people.

Since this is my diary, I must write a little about the fires in Australia. I feel so sorry for all the animals who have been burnt in fire. People are talking about global warming effects. That is also worrying, and that spreads concerns all over the world. My thoughts to Australia.

Maybe this is the reason I like “the little” life. My main project today is to make a banana cake. I got a recipe from a couple who are from Liberia and live in Sweden. The banana cake is very popular in Liberia, so today, I am going to buy some bananas to make this cake.

My little life in a nutshell.
