Dear Friends, The Pleasure of Sharing “The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have” – Leonard Nimoy
As we are fast approaching the Christmas period, we begin by sharing a drink with Accra Breweries Limited as they celebrate 80 years of operations in Ghana. Happy Birthday and cheers! Having a drink with friends is a pleasurable experience, but we must also eat and what is better than a good meal shared with friends. We introduce you to Chef Gaby of the Lounge at Chase restaurant and discover his passions which are cooking, family and friends – the building blocks of life. What could be better? My grandfather once told me that to understand the world in which you live you must “go and visit your country” and more importantly then share the experiences that you have had. To share is a pleasure. Everyday you can discover new places to eat, drink, visit or even shop. It is said that it is better to give than receive, and that gifts and the giving of them maintain friendships, so you can indulge yourselves and make others happy at the same time. Pay a visit to the shops we point out to you in your favourite magazine. We can’t speak about sharing without a nod to our friends in the arts. We say a big “thumps up” to Lilly, who managed to bring together the cream of Ghanaian art at a splendid exhibition held at the CFAO showroom. It was a fun evening, admiring some vintage art in the midst of some beautiful cars and charming ladies and in this case sharing was a real pleasure. This month it has been a pleasure to be at your service. ....Enjoy Don’t forget you can also read the magazine online at: www.enjoyaccra.com Enjoy November 2011

One - on - One with Executive Chef Gaby of the Chase Lounge
c
hase is the latest addition to Ghana’s upscale hospitality industry. Located in the serene environs of Labone, opposite the Coffee Shop, Chase has a fast food section that serves a wide range of popular Lebanese foods and continental cuisine and The Lounge, a high class restaurant with an intimate setting for your romantic evenings. The Lounge is a chic beautifully decorated restaurant, which more importantly serves exceptional gourmet cuisine under the guidance of its international chef, Gaby Kachouh. As well as a formal dining experience, The Lounge also offers an all-day breakfast menu, an ideal setting for those important business meetings. After ordering the chef’s special, I had a one-on–one chat with executive chef Gaby and asked him a few questions about himself and the restaurant.

“The Lounge is a chic beautifully decorated restaurant, which more importantly serves exceptional gourmet cuisine under the guidance of its international chef, Gaby Kachouh.” Alain GBEASOR (A.G): Good morning chef, can you tell us a bit about yourself? Chef Gaby (C.G): I am Lebanese and a trained chef. I hold a BT3 in Food Production from the Ecole Superieur d’Ajaltoun in Lebanon, which has a highly accredited culinary arts programme. Since completing my formal education there I have had over 10 years experience as a chef in various hotels and restaurants in different parts of the world. A.G: Chef, did you cook growing up? C.G: Yes, coming from a Lebanese family who loves their food, cooking is definitely in my blood. Enjoy November 2011
A.G: What made you decide to become a professional cook? C.G: Passion and desire. I love to cook for others and that was the motivation for my professional experience. A.G: Have you worked in any famous places?
C.G: I have worked at lots of interesting places notably: the Leila restaurant, The Grand Hills Hotel in Broumana, Portomilio in Kaslik and Larisa Catering in the Middle East as well as Royal Riviera Hotel in Guinea and Amandine Restaurant in Niger.
C.G: Smiling - well wherever I work is famous- but seriously we serve some of the most famous people in the country. Come to The Lounge any day and see the rich and famous who gather here.
A.G: Have you cooked for any famous people?
A.G: Please can you share the names of some of the hotels and restaurants you have worked at?
A.G: What kind of cuisine can we expect from you at the Lounge?

C.G: I cook continental, teppanyaki, sushi and of course Lebanese food on demand as well as Ghana fusion cuisine. A.G: What influences your cooking style? C.G: French and Italian cuisines have a considerable influence on my cooking. A.G: What do you like to eat at home? C.G: At home I make a variety of foods but on any day it will surely include lebanese mezza, fois gras, pasta and carpaccio. A.G: How do you like to unwind after all the hard work? 8
C.G: I love to go to the beach or the pool with friends. I also love to do the tourist thing with my wife, Natalia Sanchez. A.G: What advice would you give to young and aspiring chefs? C.G: Know your limitations and build your skills slowly. Quality, passion and love must go into everything you do.
C.G: At The Lounge you are assured of the best quality food in Accra. Fresh palatable beautifully presented dishes, great service and a warm welcome. At Chase your tastebuds will be given a treat. e

1931
1960-68
Accra Brewery Limited (then Overseas Brewery Limited) was the first brewery built in the European tradition in West Africa.
The Fermenting Hall was considerably enlarged as ABL chalked another milestone with the completion of a modern bottling plant commissioned by the then Head of State, Lt. Gen. Ankrah, OV, MC.
1939-45 Club Premium Lager becomes the leading Ghanaian beer brand and proves popular throughout West Africa during the Second World War and after. The Club minerals range which included quinine tonic and muscatella was launched.

1989 - 94 ABL began a major expansion drive to expand its bottling capacity resulting in a bottling plant which was commissioned by then Vice President, Mr. Kow Nkensen Arkaah on November 23, 1994. www.enjoyaccra.com

Corporate Agenda
Mr David Lamptey, Mr Greg Metcalf, Mr Akature Ania, Mr Tony Medway, Mr Urvesh Desai, Ms Adjoba Kyiamah & Mr Philip Norley of ABL's Management Team
1. Discouraging Irresponsible Drinking Accra Brewery is working with such stakeholders as employees, other industry players and the Ministry of Health to address irresponsible drinking and reduce alcohol-related harm in Ghana.
2. Benefiting Communities We Serve ABL is helping develop small and medium sized enterprises in our localities with an aim to boost the local economy, improve health care and education levels, and bring more work to the area.
3. Water as a Priority Brewing beer uses lots of water, not only in the manufacturing process but also in growing the crops that it relies on. Managing water efficiently is one of the key ways we can protect local environments and the communities around our plants.
4. Reducing our Energy and Carbon Footprint
“Creating economic opportunities for small businesses near our breweries not only helps the local community but helps our business too.” 16
ABL uses energy efficiently, investing in renewable energy sources and generating our own energy are key ways we can help to protect the environment. This will not only save money and resources, it will also reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and hence our carbon footprint.

ABL Profile 5. Transparency and Ethics in our Business Dealings Transparency underpins our approach to sustainable development and our business activity more widely. Our suppliers and customers want to know that our beers and soft drinks are of good quality and are safe to drink.
6. Health Health is an issue of particular relevance to our business and our particular focus is on HIV/Aids because SABMiller has an extensive presence in countries affected by the pandemic. The potential consequences of poor health for our business are high and that is why we manage the issue as a priority and invest in healthcare provision for our employees and our local communities.
7. Encouraging Enterprise Development Creating economic opportunities for small businesses near our breweries not only helps the local community but helps our business too. We benefit from not having to pay import duties and having access to more direct and secure supply chains, improved quality of products and new innovations. “In managing

waste generated by our businesses, we follow the principles of the waste hierarchy to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste in an efficient and, ultimately, value creating way.”
9. Working Towards Zero Waste Operations
www.ablis80.com
In managing waste generated by our businesses, we follow the principles of the waste hierarchy to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste in an efficient and, ultimately, value creating way. This requires us to use our resources efficiently and limit the disposal of waste to landfill.
10. Packaging – Packaging and Recycling Over 66% of our waste consists of organic byproducts from the brewing process including spent grains, waste yeast and trub (a residual sludge from the process). Minimizing the waste we produce and finding alternative uses for it are the key ways we can protect local environments. e Enjoy November 2011

ugustine Gokah in one of a few water colourists painting in Ghana. Born in 1961 he studied at the College of Art, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi(1988) and holds a BA(Hons) Degree in Painting. He paints the reality of everyday life with passion and seriousness. His paintings spotlight the life of coastal and northern dwellers in Ghana. Offering an insight into both the life and landscape of its people. 'His use of a low range of colours, sharp contrast of light and dark, raw craftsmanship and a hint of modern underpinnings create an intrinsic tension between purity and sophistication. This persistent and consistent trait undeniably accounts for the multifaceted appeal and the drama of his paintings' John Owoo, freelance editor and art critic.

He has had several shows at home and abroad most recently at the Artist Alliance Gallery in September. His artworks are widely collected adorning both private homes and offices. e

It is intricately woven into all aspects of our lives. Directly or remotely, we encounter art on a daily basis. However, the essence of art and its impact, is made possible through the various forms of expression by artists. It is in this light that Tiga African Art assembled four artists who have more than paid their dues in the professional art world in this august show dubbed REMINISCENCE. The exhibition was sponsored by CFAO motors, Dalex Finance,Enjoy and was curated by Lily Sefa-Boakye, Director, Tiga African Art.

The artists, Larry Otoo, Oko Martey, Nicholas Kowalski and Amarkine Amarteifio are renowned painters who have evolved during the various phases of art development in Ghana. A blast from the past they might be but they are equally and refreshingly contemporary. In this exhibition, they brought to bear, evocative imagery replete with masterly astuteness and a warming freshness. Reminiscence indeed.

Roast for 18 minutes per pound (including stuffing weight, if using). The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (and deep into the stuffing) and registers 165 degrees F. and the juices run clear. Remove from the oven and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Glaze: Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until the cranberries burst, about 8 to 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve and let cool. Reserve for turkey.
Directions Defrost 1 sheet frozen puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold. In a saucepan, melt 1 tbs butter over medium heat. Saute the 1/2 cup walnuts in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon and stir until walnuts are coated well. Place the walnut mixture on top of the 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie and sprinkle the 1/4 cup brown sugar over the mixture. Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface. Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Gather up the edges of the brie, pressing around the brie and gather at the top. Gently squeeze together the excess dough and tie together with a piece of kitchen twine. Brush the 1 beaten egg over top and side of Brie. Place Brie on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve with crackers.

This Month Scorpio Famous Scorpio: Anne Hathaway
BORN: NOVEMBER 12, 1982 - BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, USA
Anne's chart contains three aspects in Scorpio, making her an intensely private person, so going through a very public breakup in 2008 from her alleged biker boyfriend must have been excruciating. Luckily, Anne is a talented actress, and she recovered by receiving kudos for her amazing role in Rachel Getting Married later that year. And while she's probably willing to give love another try, her probing Scorpio influences may always lead her to be a bit skeptical of romance.
Famous Scorpio: Leonardo DiCaprio BORN: NOVEMBER 11, 1974 - HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, USA
Leo's come a long way since his Growing Pains days! Although he is outspoken about his favorite causes, including environmental and global warming issues. His personal life he epitomizes the phrase "still waters run deep," which is a classic Scorpio trait. Often linked with beautiful models as companions, Leo is still searching for "the one," and with his Venus in demanding and possessive Scorpio, she'll have to be quite a woman!

21/4-21/05
22/5-21/06
Your sights are set high in November, dear Aries, but several circumstances help to bring you back down to earth. You can successfully combine practical matters and more fanciful ones this month. With focus, you can make enormous progress in your work. You are likely to deal with romantic illusions on the 6-7. Career and financial matters are strong and settled by the 15-16, after a scurry of activity and worries on the 10th. The last week of the month brings powerful intuition for work, the chance to turn losses into gains, and opportunities to deal with past problems.
The 10th brings heightened emotions and personal revelations, generally relationship-related, with the Full Moon in your sign, dear Taurus. At around the same time, romance begins to heat up. Some of you are pursuing it more assertively, and others are experiencing ups and downs. Avoid new relationships that seem to be inviting trouble. The 15-16 is strong for romance and creativity. Shared finances can become tricky to handle in the last week of the month and into December, so do what you can to straighten out debt, as well as ownership and joint money matters, before then.
Good energy for relationships and negotiations is with you for most of November, dear Gemini. Your attitude towards your close ties is transforming in significant ways. Single Geminis might meet an especially charming and communicative love interest. Work and professional matters are well starred this month. Your goals are clearer and motivation is easy to find. From the 11th, you could feel a strong desire to renovate your home, but be careful that you don't take on more projects than you can reasonably handle. From the 24th, complications can arise that have you rethinking what you've started.

Capricorn
22/6-23/07
24/9-23/10
22/12-20/01
Work relationships improve in November, dear Cancer, but avoid overloading your plate with responsibilities, as they are likely to come back to haunt you in the last week of the month when things can get very hectic. Mix-ups and other such challenges are likely then. Any "crisis" occurring in your work at this time is simply clearing the way towards better work conditions. Carefully watch your spending and financial dealings around the 6-8th. The temptation to borrow from the future, combined with unrealistic expectations, can lead you down the wrong road. A relationship strengthens on the 27th.
You're so busy this month that it's easy to get distracted and miss important information, dear Libra. Working your charm is effortless now, however, but do watch for confusion in love and friendship on the 6-7. After this, you're much better off with more clarity in these areas of life. Mechanical breakdowns, misinformation, dealing with red tape, and other such annoyances, are likely in the last week of November. Concentrate on getting your work done well the first time so you won't have to redo things later.
Your private life is especially animated this month, dear Capricorn. You're not as willing to share your feelings with the world in November, and personal plans are in an early stage of development. You're in a period of reflection and preparation, so take things as slowly as you can. Sacrifices may need to be made when it comes to your relationships - you are required to be sympathetic and helpful now. The last few days of the month, however, bring love matters up front and center. Appreciation for your efforts is forthcoming now.

21/01-19/02
Your charm is considerable this month, dear Leo. However, a simple flirtation could be misinterpreted as more than it is, so watch that you don't land yourself into unnecessarily complicated situations. You could change your mind, or cool off, in the last week of November. The same may be true of taking on new creative projects - you can start them feeling gung-ho, and then lose interest later. Ups and downs come from the need to frequently discern between fact and fancy. Finding a middle ground is the key.
Financial matters seem very promising this month, dear Scorpio, but do be careful that you don't overdo spending or purchase large ticket items that you are likely to regret later in November. Ambiguity surrounding career matters on the 6-7 clears up on the 15-16. Romantic proclamations or relationship challenges are likely on the 10th. Trust issues are in play. Trying to separate fact from fiction in your love life could put you on an emotional rollercoaster. Personal impact is strong this month, especially from the 11th forward.
While your career initiatives remain on the front burner in November, dear Aquarius, pressure to perform is reduced, and your social life begins to take more priority. You're in high demand with friends, and group activities can keep you pleasantly busy this month. Even so, exercise moderation when it comes to answering those demands, as the last week of November can be especially hectic and you may regret having scheduled too many activities. A partner's behavior can be baffling around the 6-7. Financial matters become clearer but more pressing.
Virgo
Sagittarius
Pisces
24/8-23/09
23/11-21/12
20/02-20/03
November is likely to begin with a certain level of ambiguity or uncertainty surrounding work and love matters, dear Virgo. Keep a low profile and avoid jumping to conclusions until after the 11th, when energy levels increase and indecisiveness no longer plagues you. As confident and energetic as you feel, however, avoid taking on too many new projects, as you're likely to feel their weight in the last week of the month. Moderation and focus are keys to success now. The 27th is excellent for finding love in unexpected places.
Personal popularity soars this month, dear Sagittarius. Your independent spirit pushes up and out, and you enjoy plenty of scope for doing your own thing. Others take special interest in you. Enhancing your appearance in some manner serves to increase your confidence even further. Career and finances are especially strong, particularly on the 15-16 and 23-27. Even so, be careful that you don't let runaway optimism lead you to take on more projects than you can handle, as you'll likely feel the pressure in the last week of the month.
You're feeling especially optimistic about your work this month, dear Pisces, and you're being received in a wonderfully charming light. It's easy to rally up support now. As long as you avoid the trap of taking on too many responsibilities, you'll be fine later in the month when complications can arise and things become extremely busy. Don't spread yourself out too thin. Problems that have been brewing in your close relationships can become pressing from the 11th forward. Conversations are helpful around the 15-16, but backtracking is likely from the 24th forward.
Enjoy November 2011

Q2: Managing Yourself in Time “Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least” -Goethe
T
ime management is really a misnomer, because we all have the same amount of time, although some accomplish several times as much as others. Personal management is perhaps a better term to describe the act. Personal management is the essence of organizing your priorities to accomplish goals and objectives. Managing yourself rather than managing time, focusing on preserving and enhancing relationships, accountability, and accomplishing the desired results (being effective). The following matrix demonstrates characteristics of activities, classifying them as urgent or not urgent, important or not important, Stephen R. Covey, refers to these as The Time Management Quadrants.
NO T UR GE NT
Quadrant 1: The Procrastinator • Car breaks down • Late for work • Project due today • Friend gets injured
Quadrant 2: The Proioritizer • Planning • Goal setting • Project due in a week • Relationships
Quadrant 3: The Yes-Man • Unimportant phone calls • Other people's problems • Interruptions
Quadrant 4: The Slacker • Too much TV • Mall marathons • Endless phone calls • Excessive emailing
NOT
IMPO RTANT
U RG E N T
Q1 cannot be ignored, but should eventually shrink with attention to Q2. The Q2 Management is a M.A.P. (Maximize, Actualize, Prioritize) to highly effective behaviour and habits. An additional skill, which will be useful, is delegation. Effectively delegating enables you to devote your energies to high-level activities in addition to enhancing personal growth for individuals and organizations. The essence of personal management is to set priorities and then organize and execute around them. Setting priorities requires thinking carefully and clearly about values, about ultimate concerns. These can then be translated into long-term and short-term goals and plans and translated once more into schedules or time slots. During the initial process of determining your priorities, you can draw a t-square with roles on the left and goals on the right. We fulfill multiple roles such spouse, parent, employer and within every role there is a different function or expected destinationthe goal. The beauty of life is that we choose. We choose our roles and goals, choice is possibly the most defining human element. As Gary Anderson says, “only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.”. Steve Jobs said it better, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” e
