Well, ok, it's not really adventure-some, but I've had some pretty good meals this week! Tonight, with our Ethiopian food, we were served iceburg lettuce! Yup, that's right. Real lettuce! It was so cool and crunchy and wonderful. I can't remember the last time I had salad made with real lettuce. Normally, salads here consist of tomatoes, green peppers, onions and a bit of cabbage for the "leaf".
I also had a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese for dinner a few days ago! Amazing stuff, that mac 'n cheese! I found a couple of boxes of it in this little shop in Entebbe when I was there last month, so I scooped them up, and brought them here with me. And wow, it was worth it. It's the cheeziest, man. True comfort food.
And those were my adventures in eating this week.
The rest of the week I just ate the staples around here - stew made from green leaves and peanut sauce over sweet potatoes, stew made from a different green leaf made with tomatoes and served over rice, beans and rice, beef stew and rice, chicken and chips, and garlic bread! Thankfully, the woman who's cooking for our workshop hasn't been able to find any whole fishes in the market yet this week :) So I've been safe... but Zane is really missing his fish heads, poor little guy. I think he got in a fight again last night, and seemed a bit "hung over" all day from it. I examined him, though, and it seemed his ego was hurt more than his actual body! He's gone out again tonight... so we'll see if he can keep himself out of trouble!
