International News Roundoff.........

First...news that was on everyone's lips this week.....

The new James Bond novel author Anthony Horowitz apologised for the silly comment he made about Idris Elba being ''too street'' to play James Bond. So Anthony thinks Idris is not suave enough? *RME*.  Idris is one of the actors said to be in the running to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. What do you think about Anthony's comment TOLAH-rites?  See his Twitter apology below:

And the guy he thinks is suitable for the role......

Adrian Lester...English actor, Director and Writer

And.....TOLAH's Man Crush Everyday.......our favourite hot chocolate.....

Idris

His response.....
Always Keep Smiling!! It takes no energy and never hurts! 
Learned that from the Street!!

And then everyone on social media seems to be trolling on Ne-yo. He and then fiancee (ex girlfriend, Monyetta Shaw) made a mutual decision after their 2 kids, for her to tie her tubes. Few months down the line, they broke up. Neyo is now engaged and expecting a baby with his new fiancee, Crystal Renay..and he is under the fire! he is being blamed that he forced her to take such a decision and is being called names.  Bathi if a man says ''i dont want kids, and i am not the marriage type....'' what he is trying to say is ''I dont want kids WITH YOU...I dont want to marry YOU...ouch!

Is Neyo selfish? Was he expected NOT to have any more kids in future? I mean, feelings change..he didnt want more then, but then he met his soul mate...
Was he expected to stay with Monyi even when the love was gone? 
Was Monyi desperate? to agree to such a decision? and not ask him to do a  vasectomy? 
Was it necessary for her to take it to social networks and share how hurtful this engagement/baby news is?  

If there is one thing i respect Neyo for, is the fact that he did not chase Monyeta out. Even after the break up they continued living together in their family house. He was taking care of his family regardless of the break up. Monyetta is on Atlanta Exes and on Monday she shared with co-star, Christina Johnson how hurt she is that Neyo is expecting a baby with his new fiancee. But there seems to be a bright light at the end of this tunnel as Monyi went to see her gyno and was told the procedure is reversable!well we all know thats not a guarantee for everyone. We wish her well and hope she finds her prince charming....and that the procedure go well so that she can have more kids!

kiiiiii @ the hashtag.........

With fiancee Crystal Renay..Congrats to her for getting the keys, a ring and now baby on way 

RHOA stars, Cynthia Bailey and Posha Wiliams were involved in a brawl. Whilst shooting a scene for Episode 8, a verbal argument broke out and Porsha called Cynthia a B****. Cynthia walked away but Porsha followed and got  in her face.....thats when Cynthia practised her Kung -Fu skills on Posha's stomach that left her in hospital. Serves Porsha right . Dissapointed that my favourite, Cynthia is being involved in physica; brawls, but it was self defence right? There is talk that she might be demoted or even kicked out! I guess Nene twerked on hearing this...kiiiiii.

#TOLAHCHEFS10: For The Love Of Cheese!

So today we do something total different- playing around with the versatility of one ingredient. Cheese contains important nutrients like calcium and protein and if you are lactose intolerant, many varieties particularly aged ones such as Cheddar and Parmesan, contain little or no lactose and are often well tolerated. For those watching their weight,  choose harder cheeses that you can grate and sprinkle over your dishes or aromatic and sharp ones so that you can get the delicious cheese flavor with fewer calories. Keeping your favorite cheeses on hand can take your meals to a whole new level. Be prepared for compliments!

This post is for the single dotis who can barely boil an egg. Try any of the options below; drink plenty of water and TOLAHPIC that key when you get it from Bae please!

Stuffed Baked Potato:

Take one big baked potato (already baked, that is) and slice in half lengthways, giving you two large floury surfaces. Scoop the potato flesh out of the skins and muddle with crispy fried bacon, an egg yolk, 2 or 3 table spoonfuls of cream, a knob of butter, a spoonful of Mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, and pop in the oven at 220C for 20 minutes or so until tops are golden and crispy

Cheesy Scones With A Kick

Rub together 225g of self-raising flour, 55g of butter cubes, a pinch salt and any spices you like (cayenne pepper and a dash of Worcester sauce works every time, and some crushed garlic or English mustard powder if we’re in need of a more serious kick). Stir in a liberal mix of mature cheddar cheese. Pour in 150ml of whole milk and stir until you reach a doughy consistency, then lay roughly 10 even spoonfuls on a greased baking tray, brush with milk and a further grating of strong Cheddar cheese, then slide into a 220C preheated oven for about 12 minutes

The Ultimate Toastie

Butter two slices of bread, both sides, then layer one slice with wafer-thin roast beef, caramelised* onion, a pile of grated cheddar. Cover with its bready lid and shove in a sandwich maker until its golden brown. (for caramelised onions, heat oil in a large pan over low heat. Add a handful of onions and a good pinch of salt and cook very slowly for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from catching. When onions are softened and tinged golden, add sugar and balsamic - this will start the caramelisation process)

And Lastly…This one is for Mbalz….you asked for this one a few weeks ago! Classic Lasagna (some say Lasagne…same thing)

Fry 600g of mince in a hot pan until golden. To make the sauce add two cans of tomatoes, basil, herbs and a small amount of water to keep the sauce nice and thin and then add to the bottom of the dish. Once the pasta sheets are covered, add the cheese! Instead of the usual cheddar, opt for a creamy, subtle mozzarella, basil and then the meat. Repeat the process until you have three layers and then top with more mozzarella and a sprinkling of cheddar to finish. To help keep in the moisture, cover the lasagne with foil and bake for around 20 minutes. Remove the foil halfway through cooking so the cheese on the top transforms into that delicious crispy golden-brown layer of yumminess that everyone secretly just wants to eat on its own.

Until next time,
