Matoke and Gnuts


Anna inside Nurse Grace's

Me, Holly, Marie, Sarah at Sam and Salima's

Me and Baby Jordan (Nurse Grace's son)
A couple weeks ago we were invited over to Nurse Grace's home for lunch. It was DELICIOUS!!! When we arrived we had African milk tea, and African pancakes. They tasted like homemade doughnuts, mmm! Then while Grace cooked lunch we chatted, played with Jordan, and taught Felix and Faith (Nurse Grace's other two children) how to play UNO! They LOVE it! They remind me of myself as a kid when we got (well when I still get) a new game and then we play it ALL THE TIME!
We had a lovely lunch of Matoke (similar to banana, tastes like potato) and Gnut sauce (similar to potatoes and gravy, mmm. Then rice, beans, meat, chapati, and fresh passion fruit juice! A normal African meal.
I forgot to take a photo of their home but it is very lovely and the area around it is an open corn field so it kind of felt like home, the farm aspect anyways. Grace even learned how to play UNO after lunch and it was so fun to watch the kids get so competitive about the game! They even told me to bring it to Smile so I did and have been playing it everyday, all day.
There is also a photo of us at Sam and Salima's house that we ate at the day before. Just thought I'd add it in.
