As we prepare to move to mud huts and cook over charcoal fires, we are soaking up a little luxury here in the Chipata house thanks to our resident Gourmet (he's a former editor! the man knows what he's doing!) Eric.
Last night he made lasagna using homemade pasta and bread with freshly roasted garlic. Caitlin made cookies with chopped-up candy bars (no chips, but lemme tell you, Zambian candy bars work fine in a pinch), and S & A made an amazing cabbage salad with avocado/lemon dressing. Eating fantastic food on the patio with some red wine, laughing with a bunch of new friends: pretty darn civilized.
As I write this at 6:30 am, Eric is rustling around in the kitchen again. He said if he woke up early enough, he'd make quiche for breakfast. Fingers crossed the electricity stays on while he works his magic again.
