This isPenina, who is teaching me Tanzanian cooking. She is preparing Ndizi Chezi, translated as Banana Cheese casserole. It has bananas (like the ones we eat), spinach, onions, oregano, and cumin seeds in it topped with cheese. (Tim's not a real fan of this recipe!) I thought it was quite tastey!
Voila! (Not a Tanzanian word but it works!)
Here Penina shows the finished dish. It's assembled similar to how we make lasagna.
This is 2 yr. old Christina. She is the daughter of our housekeeper. Christina had just come from the doctor (Look how dressed up her mother had her.) She has been having stomach problems, and did not want to be separated fom her mother, so Lydia (Christina's mother) brought her to "work" with her. Lydia wrapped her up and carried her on her back while she swept and fixed lunch. It was a short work day for Lydia since her daughter was not feeling well.
You just can't take the farm out of the boy---no matter where he is! Tim is putting his homemade rain gauge out in our yard. The rains have begun and they are powerful. We get about 2 1/2 inches each time the heavens open up!
For all you monkey fans--this fella sits in the tree outside the window where my desk is. We sort of have a mutual fascination ---he wonders about me and I wonder about him!
