Thanksgiving is coming up and being in Africa on
the other side of the world isn’t stopping us!
On Friday, we are having Thanksgiving dinner, potluck style. Somehow I became one of the people in charge
of the festivities, but being in charge has its perks!
Such as today, when we were driven to the most
awesome place ever….Shop Rite in Matola!
Shop Rite is a giant grocery store with almost everything you can
possibly find in your own local Albertson’s: produce, cheese, meat, cereal,
milk, a bakery, condiments and spices, ice cream, etc, etc.
Now this might not sound very exciting to most,
but when your market pretty much only has potatoes, tomatoes, onions, cabbage,
and bananas, just seeing pineapple, real cheese (goat cheese, feta, gouda,
cheddar!), and the variety of other
types of food available (not even buying them right now, but just seeing them
and seeing they exist) is an incredible feeling! It was even somewhat overwhelming to consider
all the possible things we can make and I am anxious to go to site and be able
to cook my own food!
