Food!

Although there is not a tremendous variety of food here all the time, as the weather changes, so does the food that is available. Guineans usaully eat rice and sauce for lunch and dinner and usually just bread for breakfast, sometimes with coffee. There are a lot of different sauces for the rice and some of them are very tasty! My favorite is called mafe tako and is combination of eggplant, okra, and various spices. While rice and sauce is filling, I like to have a little more variety so I've sought out some other foods at the market. Here are a few of my favorite meals to make:

Guacamole: Some fresh avacadoes, onions, lemons, garlic, and maybe some hot peppers and bam! You've got une repas mexicain! I usually eat it with bread because there are no tortilla chips.

Pasta: Spaghetti is easy to find in the market and the sauce is fun to experiment with. I've made pretty good tomaoto sauce and tried a pumkin based sauce that was pretty good too.

Peanut butter sandwich: Not too fancy but very filling and delicious. I can get freshly ground peanut butter at the market and it's really good with a little chocolate powder.

Fresh fruit: There are so many oranges and bananas right now. I love eating the fresh fruit here. Alright, out of time. See you next time!
