I had a nice visit last Saturday with my friend Clarice’s family. I was a little late getting there because I was baking cookies for the family. I spent some time talking with Papa Wembonyama about his career working on the roads that are now in disrepair and about his hopes for the future in Congo. At the end of our time together he very graciously gave me a huge basket of gifts. This week my beans have eggplant and carrot cooked in and tonight I made some fried rice with eggs that were still bright yellow yolked. Later this week I will have cucumber salad and I’ll make some fresh squeezed lemonade. It’s too much food for me and I could argue that they need it more than I do, but this gift was not given to be refused.
I’ve since learned that it’s not a good idea to keep a cracked coconut in the fridge. Right now everything in my little refrigerator has a hint of coconut flavoring!

That line made me laugh. Have you found any foods that unexpectedly go well with coconut?
