Well today we made a Banana Cream Pie here in Kitale. Finding everything I needed was a challenge, not because it's not available but rather everything isn't called the same here in Kenya. For example, corn starch isn't corn starch, it's called corn flour. Who would have guessed? I'm anxious to see how it turns out. The milk we used is fresh milk from Alice's cows. It's actually really good, but it's whole milk and not something I'm used to drinking.
Yesterday we went into town and it was interesting. Alice, it seems, knows everybody in town so she greets everybody and wants me to greet everyone. OY VE... Talk about smiling a lot. It's nice to meet people but it's a little much we you talk to everyone on the street. Here in Kenya it's considered rude to just say hi to someone. It is expected to stop and chat for a bit. Me, being the American I am not used to stopping and chatting up a storm. But man oh man Alice is so good at it. LOL
OH funny thing I saw in town. A drivers training company called "Rocky Caution" I kid you not! I just about busted a gut. Some things are so funny here. OK then the other day I saw a guy riding a bike that's like a taxi and he had a huge woman on it and man he was strugglin' to get up the long hill. Cracked me up.
