White Rice, Fried Rice or Jollof Rice?

Or Chicken or chicken or chicken? Yes folks today we talk about food. let me tell ya! Ghanians make good food. a bit spicey but after awhile you get used to it. The only issue is that there isn't that much variety... You kinda have to search for it. IN fact i didn't eat any meat for a couple of days mostly because if i had one more piece of chicken i might have died. We try to mix it up and get some fruit every once in awhile. But pineapple has a habit of hurting after awhile and you don't look ver atractive eating mangos... But they are soooooooo good here. Today we remedied our chicken and rice rut. We had American food! We went to this overpriced Friendly's knock off and i thought i was in heaven. I had a sandwhich! I know that's not very PC or very adventerous but hey everyone get's a craving for the food that they have at home. And the best part? We didn't sit down and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of Cipro, Immodium and pepto tablets. in fact no one popped any of those pills after a meal! Oddly enough that was pretty much a first! It's funny how acceptable table conversation topics change....

Sabrina! I'm so glad you are having such a great time already -- and especially happy that you can eat food without, well, complications. It has been snowing, and flurrying, and all sorts of things around here... I miss you, I wish you were here, and Michelle says especially that she misses your wonderful APO presence. Have fun with your taxis!
