food

I’m sure you are all worried about me not getting enough to eat. Don’t be. Granted we eat lots of carbs- but our one vegetarian has left and one of the med students who arrived is an avid carnivore thus for his stay at least so are the rest of us. We also do very well on the dessert front. Cake is an almost everyday occurrence—chocolate, banana, mango, brownies, doughnuts, so many varieties. Key lime pie was a high light of last week as the guest house has a lime tree. We just got bananas from our own garden. This week the plan is banoffee pie (banana and toffee). So from Lilongwe we asked that the person going in pick up double cream (uk resident ordering). I got a text back asking what that was and responded with heavy cream or whipping cream but it turns out that my text never sent…when we got our shopping back we were missing a few things—chicken and fruit juice but it turned out to be at the shoppers house. We also had some extras—one of which was a pot of Nivea. We couldn’t figure out who in the house had ordered the lotion and then realized that we didn’t remember seeing any cream. Sure enough we looked at the Nivea and it was firming cream. Good for a laugh if not for dessert.
