Cooking Cabbage

Jan 21,
With company coming over for dinner I felt I should at least help out. I asked if I could cook the cabbage and so I did. I sliced the cabbage thinly then grated carrot. In a hot pan I put in some cooking oil, then onions, tomato, garlic, salt, soy sauce (a tiny bit) and the cabbage. YUMMY.  OH and cilantro too. YUM - O.
The rest of the dinner consisted of mixed veggies (peas, carrots, and maise) in a cream sauce that’s really yummy, and fish. Now I’ve eaten fish that Alice has cooked before, but this fish I just couldn’t eat. I saw the eyes and I just couldn’t do it. Something about those eyes just got to me. Mary told me that all of the animals that we eat have eyes, but I told her I don’t see them. So I didn’t eat the fish.
Here in Kenya they eat dinner rather late. But then at around 5pm or so they have tea and with the tea is usually something to eat. I’m getting kind of used to eating late, and I’m really liking the whole tea thing in the afternoon. I especially like the tea. It tastes a lot like a Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks. OH and in Swahili Chai means tea, so when you say Chai Tea, you are actually saying Tea Tea. LOL  Hilarious stuff.
I wish I had a video camera here. If only. RAT


OH on a side note.  The guy whom I suspected of stealing 1000 ksh from me, well apparently he had to ask for change down at the gas station down the road. So you could say that guys ass is fried. As soon as he gets back I'm going to lay into him a big one. hehe this should be fun!
