Procrastination

Procrastination, it seems, has followed me to Uganda. Not to say I haven't been doing anything today, because I certainly have. Rather, the thing I should be working on, I am not working on. I'm avoiding it actually... In a couple weeks I will be lecturing on the basic use of Microsoft Excel in Faith's technology class. So, over the next few days I need to look over the program to remind myself of it's basic functions and create an assignment that will encompass them. However, I have yet to do this because I am procrastinating :). Instead I spent my day doing laundry and cooking meals, worthy tasks at least. Since you may find it interesting to see some of the things I am eating, let me show you.

A very large sweet potato. It's white on the inside and not quite as creamy  as the ones at home.

Native mushrooms. I now have a mushroom seller who comes to my door with a bag of fresh mushrooms for me. I was a little leery at first, but another American gal here has been eating them for over a year, so I think I'm good. I cooked them up this morning with some onion and beautiful brown eggs --they were delicious!

These are mini bananas that fit into the palm of your hand. They are  a little sweeter then the traditional banana.

Ugandan life wouldn't be complete without beans. This is the native bean in Uganda which tastes similar to a kidney bean, but not quite as strong of a flavor. This was my first time soaking dehydrated beans and cooking them up. I  seasoned them with some garlic and red onion, they turned out okay. But, my recipe could use some tweaking.

Stoney is a ginger flavored pop/soda. It is not the same as ginger ale, more like  actual ginger flavor. I like that the ginger is so strong it makes my whole mouth tingle!

Things to pray for:

*That I would be able to focus and develop my lecture.

*That said lecture would go well 

*That God would continue to show me areas he wants me to work in.

With faith, hope, and love,

Joy
