The food was amazing all weekend—you’d think we’d never seen some of the food before. Lasagne, chicken curry, ham, creamed spinach. Much of what we cook and see in the market right now is potatoes and tomatoes…so a tomato sauce of some sort with pasta and/or rice and potatoes sliced and put in the oven with oil is the mainstay of our meals in Nkhoma…lots of carbs. Luckily we have a garden and have been getting lettuce and green beans out of it. And then there is dessert—no worries about coming back after wasting away…cake, brownies, custard, apple crumble, fruit salad (apple, pineapple, mango). It is a great way to end our evenings.
At the market you can also find termites. I have not had them and would have to admit that they don’t look at all appetizing. Bartus (18, teaching math and physical science for 8th grade, from South Africa) bought some and mixed it with canned spaghetti…didn’t eat but 3 bites but claimed he was full. He gave it to the watchman who ate it all.
