I'm doing well. However, I am still a bit under the weather. I went to the doctor on Tuesday. He said I had bronchitis and put me on antibiotic and gave me some cough syrup. As a result, I stayed home on Wednesday to get better. I didn’t want to be breathing in dust causing the bronchitis to get worse; however I feel lots better now.
I am getting more and more accustomed to the food here. However, I’m still losing weight, but I grew a half inch! On our p-day I like to eat at this place called Nandos. They have flamed grilled chicken with Piri Piri sauce on it. Piri-Piri sauce (used as a seasoning or marinade) is Portuguese in origin and especially prevalent in Angola, Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. It is made from crushed chillies, citrus peel, onion, garlic, pepper, salt, lemon juice, bay leaves, paprika, pimiento, basil, oregano, and tarragon. The food is nice and it’s fresh, unlike some places. In addition, this week I ate Ugali this week. Ugali is an East African dish (also sometimes called sima, sembe, or posho) of maize flour (cornmeal) cooked with water to a porridge- or dough-like consistency. I like it a lot better than nshema.
This week we have our zone activity today it’s going to be at a game park just outside of Lusaka. I am going to bring my rugby ball. I hope the other missionaries from South Africa will want to play some rugby as part of the activity. All the other missionaries always want to play soccer and I am just ready for a change up.
Today we will probably shop today and eat at Nandos. I feel like i could eat a whole chicken! I ate half of one last time I went there. We haven’t had much in the way of food last week, so I’m pretty hungry. Our allotment is supposed to be every two weeks, however sometimes it’s every 18 or 19 days. However, today we did get our allotment and we are going shopping for food!!
Till next week love Devin.
