Food somehow has become such an intergal part of our universe really. I suppose rightly
so, on earth we need it live. But in even in Heaven the grand entrance of the saints is welcomed
by a banquet feast. Thus appetite is important. Jesus' first temptation in the wilderness
was based upon appetite. Culture in our societies around the world is deeply intertwined with
the food eaten. This is all just to say that I finally got around to writing down what we ate for a week
(thanks to Uli for the idea, she did this on her blog, call me copycat if you'd like). I know many people
wonder about it. So here goes!
Sunday:
Breakfast: Leftover spaghetti from Sat. night, fried with tomato paste and onions
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Boiled yams and sweet potatoes, with tomato sauce
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!): Tomato flavoured rice with leftovers from lunch (you'll
see leftovers as a common theme, we can only keep things for a day without having a
fridge)
Monday
Breakfast: Leftover rice with added seasonings
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Lentil/Onion soup (lentils we got in Cotonou, a real treat)
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!): Lunch reheated
Tuesday
Breakfast: Fried spaghetti and hibsucus water
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Rice with tomato/onion sauce
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!):Leftovers
Wednesday
Breakfast: Corn/ wheat flour pancakes with milk (powder milk)
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer):Brown Bean/ lentil/ yam stew, delicious!
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!): Refried stew
Thursday
Breakfast: Spaghetti with cabbage/onion/tomato sauce
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Fried spaghetti
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!): Tapioca soaked mixed with powder milk and sugar (try it so good)
Friday
Breakfast: Corn/Wheat pancakes
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Watché (beans and rice) with fried onion/ peanut butter sauce
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!): Refried watché and leftover pancakes
Sabbath (I happened to fasting eating only simple foods as I was praying on certain subject during meal times)
Breakfast: Fruit
Lunch (or Diner if you prefer): Some pancakes fruit
Supper (again or Diner if you prefer!)(fast over): Fried dough like an enchalada, and fried onions
With many meals especially breakfast I might eat a few oranges, bananas, or mangoes, whatever is in season
and maybe suck a few lemons too.
Hope you enjoyed the menu!
