Shabbos!!

Cooking for shabbos can be really difficult. The first couple of weeks we didn't have a refrigerator so we had to just leave out the food we prepared in the 90 degree heat + humidity (not to mention the fact that we don't have running water half the time). Every week something has gone wrong, but we have really improved out skills and we're close to being true Ghanaian chefs. This week we truly had a feast!!! We made challah, Tilapia, yam balls, sweet potato balls, salad, and cookies. (In Ghana, yams and sweet potatoes are very different. Yams look like tree trunks on the outside and taste like regular potatoes and the sweet potatoes look like regular potatoes but turn green when they are exposed to the air. They are sweet, but not as sweet as American ones). It was a major success!!!!

Tonight Ghana is playing Egypt in the finals, so we're going to watch it. (I know it's surprising that I'm willingly going to watch a sporting event)
