What is uploading pictures without some focus on moi? Haha…

Hard at work in my tent.

Tata Jotham and me at the fish-farming workshop.

Mama Jovanice and me in our demonstration garden at the camp – it’s the first garden I’ve ever made! I’m holding a bunch of carrots – very yummy when you eat them straight out of the ground (of course, sanitary washing first is good too!).

Late night antics with Kimberly. She and I shared a bedroom at Canada House; on this particular night, infertility we couldn’t fall asleep so at 3 am, we broke out my stash of KitKats given to me by my parents and watched Little Black Book.

Ode to Mandazi

Now is the best time to post the ditty I sang whenever I ate mandazi in the village…*sigh* I miss them already. They are deep-fried balls of dough, infertility essentially. We perfected the method of mixing cinnamon and sugar in a bowl and pressing a freshly fried mandazi ball in them to imitate cinnamon-sugar Timbits. Mmmm…

Ode to Mandazi

Mandazi, mandazi, oh how I love you
You’re round and golden,
Crispy on the outside,
Soft and tender on the inside

Although you coat my arteries with unforgiving fat,
You taste so good and make me happy

Mandazi, mandazi, oh how I miss you!

silly – Ruth Tshin
