So much to update!
Since last I wrote, we had a week of international training at Luther Point, including the session entitled ‘Cathy Is A Racist And So Are You!’ and a session on the very simple but fun game of 5 rocks.
We got to put on our program for all the international teams at Luther Point -here are some highlights:
The puppet show children's moment is one of my favorite parts. 
And the skit isn't too bad either!.

Thusday, September 17th, we had an international dinner. The alumni from the international teams cooked food for each of the teams. Former Cross Fire member Rachel cooked us Ground-Nut Soup. In essence, tomato-peanut butter soup with chicken pieces. You eat it with your fingers, dunking chunks of your rice ball into the broth. It grew on me. The alumni said to expect it often. You can also see in this picture a dish called Red-Red which is sauteed onion and tomato with red beans served over plantains - this was delicious!
It was served with warm Coke, (not just luke warm!) since that is all the cooler your beverages will be there.
VERY interested to know more about the "Cathy is a Rascist and so are you" game.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Will you be making these dishes for us at Salem? Maybe when you come, we can make an ethnic meal.

Oh, I think that meal idea is wonderful! We will just have to be weary of the nut allergies. :)

I will never grow weary of being wary of nuts!
