Picture Update Part 1 (in which it appears that all we do here is cook and eat)


We cooked ebey ourselves! (with some assistance from host sisters)


Masaman chicken curry with sweet potatoes, irish potatoes and bell peppers - our guest of honor loved it!


Key lime pie


The chefs with our guest of honor



Jacob explaining composting at a practical skills day we helped teach at the Community Health Nursing school. We also covered making neem cream (local insecticide), bed net dipping, making oral rehydration solution, and making moringa powder (from the leaves of a local tree).


Action shot


We even got a girl to help with the digging!


We made cake!! Using locally available ingredients and a makeshift dutch oven, we successfully made cake for a 1 year-old girl's birthday. I assure you it tasted better than it looks...


French toast, drowning in yummy peanut butter and jelly sauce. We slightly misjudged how much sauce we would need and couldn't let it go to waste...my dad will be proud ;-)


Mosquitos LOVE my left knee. Keep in mind this is the dry season, when the mosquitos supposedly don't have anywhere to breed, and in the interest of being culturally appropriate, I keep my knees covered at all times!
