Who would have thought that having a propane canister could make me so happy. Yes it is the little things in life when you are living in a slowly developing country that makes all the difference.
Yesterday my propane tank with regulator arrived and I was able to cook my first dinner in my house. I made my usual "African Pasta" and it has never tasted so good. You can't go wrong with fresh organic tomatoes, fresh green peppers, garlic, corn and onions sauted in extra virgin olive oil and put over penne pasta. While I know that the parmasan cheese that I put over the dish was not of the best quality, beggers here can't be choosers.
On my way back from Juba next week I will buy some egg plant, avacados and any other veggies that I want to cook with and eat until I can't stand myself. Oh how I like living in the house rather than the hotel.
Now that I have access to real milk I can even make some alfredo sauce. Oh how my world is opening up to me. I may even gain some of the weight that I have lost due to not eating enough.
I can't wait to cook, who knows I may even get the electrican to put in an outlet and use the oven. Oh wait I don't bake.
