culinary notes

For fifty cents yesterday morning I had breakfast at a cafe called Mambeu down the street—two cups of amazingly delicious chai (tea made with boiled whole milk, it tastes almost malty), a piece of fried bread ("mandaazi"), a roasted banana ("ndizi choma") and a bottle of water. Then today for lunch I had a huge plate of pilau (spiced rice) with sauce, greens and baby bananas, all for less than a dollar! Food here is cheap and good.

Lil, if you are reading this are you coming to visit soon??

And to everyone, I just posted pics from Dar and here up on My Photos, if you are interested...
