My friend Shannon arrived right as I was finishing my third week in Tanzania. At this point, I had only recently ventured outside of dining with the girls for every meal. Rice and beans or ugali and beans for lunch and dinner each day...I'm glad I experienced that, but I'm also very glad to have more variety in my diet again. I. Love. Food.
It's taken time to assess our options and adapt my normal cooking routine to fit what we can and cannot find here. Take "Taco Night" for example.
There are no tortillas, so we make them from scratch. Shannon was present for our first attempt at tortillas (using wheat flour), so she made the dough and rolled it out:
Stephanie and Danny were in charge of cooking the tortillas on the stove:
And I was happy to fulfill my role as "appreciative eater."
Why yes, that is fresh guacamole and a delicious mango on the side...two perks about living in Tanzania! (Even better, I bargained for them myself. In Kiswahili.)
