Well now that we have moved from a hotel to a house, we have the opportunity to cook our own meals! With 7 people in the kitchen, we have done surprisingly well!
As any seasoned expert in the kitchen knows, you must start with ingredients. Since we didn't have anything, we had to go shopping. We made a list of all the things 7 people could potentially want to eat...winnowed the list and decided on a few starter meals: Salad with Chicken and Tacos. We were ready to go to the store. However, all of the people who could drive us were unavailable. So Colin, the director of E.I. gave us the keys to his minivan and sent us on our way. As in Kenya, South Africans drive on the left side of the road...so we were in for an adventure. After a few close calls, a couple wrong lanes, and several missed turns, we made it to the store and back.
Then we started up the stove and started cooking the chicken. They boys just started adding spieces in varying quantities and before we knew it we had a delicious dinner. A little chicken, a little rice, some salad...boom we are full!
We only had a few fails such as Conner spilling water all over himself while washing dishes, others not knowing how to light the stove, or that in order to cook rice, you need a lid on the pot.
So far, we are making an excellent team in the kitchen!
