Fruit

It’s not all mouse around here.

Just this week, our host family brought a big bunch of bananas harvested behind their bathing shelter. Zambian bananas come in several varieties, none of which are like the generic American ones. These were short, fat and firm. They hold up well to a slathering of peanut butter.

Also on the menu this week: apples imported at great expense from South Africa (and totally worth it in my opinion), and oranges plucked from local trees. During training, we ate our weight in guavas, but those have been finished for awhile now.
