Perhaps my biggest worry with work was that I would be bored... but that doesn't seem to be the case at all! First day and I already have more than I could want of projects to work on. AND they're all projects I would enjoy working on. What more could you ask for? A salary, perhaps, but that's why I'm babysitting until my North Carolina EMT registration comes through. In the meantime, I'm working on being frugal... kind of a challenge.
That's why I looked up my favorite Tanzanian lunch food: Wali na maharage! (Plain ol' rice and beans). The best part is that once you get a big bag of rice and big bag of beans, you can eat for a long time on minimal budget. In the process of looking up how to cook this beautiful food, I found a website that a peace corps volunteer had put together of many traditional recipes I loved eating this summer! His directions and descriptions are quite amusing and seem to be pretty accurate, too.

Enjoy! Now I just need to find a whole-foods type store to buy my rice and beans in bulk... A farmers market would be nice too, but I think my roommate knows where to direct me. Hmm... now I'm hungry. Mango time.
His recipes are hilarious. :D
ReplyDeleteI might try them sometime.
I haven't had coconut rice in a long time, probably not since Belize 6 years ago.
What kind of beans are you looking for?
Don't forget to squeeze your beans before cooking.
