Labolo

My friends who were staying with us love being able to ask for food any time they like! They are always telling Mommy, "amito labolo" (I want a banana). We've been going through a lot of bananas!! This bunch lasted us less than a day!

Wrapping paper

Mommy and I went to a "stationary store" to buy some wrapping paper. It comes in sheets that are precut. Each sheet cost 500 shillings (they were 300 shillings last week - Christmas does things like that to prices around here!). That's about 20 cents.

Yummy bugs?

It rained really hard this evening so the termite hills got flooded, driving the flying termites out... into our house. Our friends like to catch them and eat them fried... I'm not sure about that yet!

Jackfruit

Daddy bought this jackfruit for mommy. Now we're going to figure out what to do with it! Good thing we have some friends to help us!

Millet

We eat millet porridge for breakfast a lot. I like it with honey! :) Our friends brought us some raw millet so we could see what it looks like!

Chapati

This is Daddy buying chapati from a man on the corner. Chapati are large flat soft sweet breads - we used them to wrap local sausages in last night and this morning Mommy made chapati chips with them with sugar! YUM!

Jerry can

This is a jerry can. We have a bunch of them that we filled with water for when we run out of water in the faucets. Our friends use them to fetch water from the borehole pump. Daddy also has one full of fuel for our van so that we will still have fuel even if there's a shortage of fuel.
