Just finished a big bowl of Nshima and relish. Yummy. Nshima is basically maize ground into meal and then made into big blobs. If you were to make cream of wheat as thick as play dough, it would be something like it. It's really good. What you do is you take a bite of that mixed with relish. Relish is usually a mix of cabbage and rape (rape is a green veggie - and yes I've heard a lot of jokes about the name...), and either beans or soy chunks or tofu or eggplant. It seriously is good stuff. That's what we have for lunch every day. Breakfast is porridge, scones (more like cornbread), tea, and bananas. Then for supper they serve scones, bananas, and tea, though we usually just make something at the house instead of going.

They have cats wandering around the education building! That makes me happy... :) The one that is currently in my lap is white with some black markings on her face, bum, and tail with huge green eyes. Don't know the name, but she's a sweetie.

Not much to tell right now, meetings in the morning, studying and visiting with some of the local kids in the afternoon. Looking forward to heading out to Lushomo Wed so we can get to work.
