Cooking

I am learning how to cook the food here. On Sunday I went to Mama Neema's house and her daughters taught me how to cook fried fish with curry paste, coconut tomato cream sauce with potatoes and cooked spinach. It was amazing. I am writing down all the ingredients. They told me whenever I want to come over and learn to cook they will teach me.

I am also cooking with the students. They have been preparing new kinds of food for me so I don't get bored with ugali and beans. The first new meal was eggplant with tomatoes and okra. Today we had potatoes with tomatoes and peppers. Everything is very simple to cook, but the flavors are amazing.
