Kenyan meal


Today we had lunch at a special little restaurant behind the American embassy. It was a BBQ of sorts....grilled goat or chicken. It also came with a large serving of some typical Kenyan foods. Irio is mashed potato mixed with peas and maize (corn). Chapati is like a tortilla but thicker and a bit more oily. Mboga is cabbage. This was served with rice and cost 140 Kenyan Shillings per person (about 2 dollars).

Hi Tim and Lisa,
We are excited for you and your family in your new adventure. Glad that you are enjoying chapatis. I understand Nairobi has lots of great Indian restaurants.
Also so congrats on your 20th Anniversary.
We celebrate our 50th Anniversary on September 13. The letter in response to the invitation to your Mom for the Bridgewater church bulletin for our Celebration included your blogspot URL, so we can keep up to date.
May God bless you. We realize how important schools for missionary kids are.
Blessings,
Hugh and Shirley
