A Taste of Sudanese Life

We had guests staying with us for 3 days this past week. We met them in college, and they have been living overseas in Africa for the past couple of years. One night, they gave us a glimpse of Sudanese life...

Men wear hats & women wear scarves, but nobody smiles in pictures

the Feast...


Starting with the chicken and going clockwise, the dishes served are:
 rotisserie chicken 
yogurt-cucumber dip
hibiscus iced tea (in the pitcher)
beef-onion-tomato stew
dessert: sweet noodles with raisins
scrambled egg cake
beef-onion-tomato stew
    There are no utensils. Your bread is your spoon and your napkin. And only the right hand is used for eating. So, we all broke off pieces of bread and food and dipped in! It was fun.

    Speaking of food, check out foodgawker.com for recipe ideas when you need a little extra inspiration.


    Lastly, welcome to Sunnyvale! How was your first night in your new place? I pray that God blesses your new life there :)

    Love,
    Delia
