There is no food quite like homecooking, let me tell you. Especially when you try to cook on your own for the first time. Sandwiches get old after about a week. Plus, how good can only bread be for you? So for the past few days, I've been cooking for myself. And let me tell you, those mashed potatoes tasted pretty good. Well, actually I was happy that they were at least edible. So anyway, while I'm typing this, the power went off. Good thing I have a laptop with a battery that works. This is quite a common occurance here in Kampala. Every third day or so the power is off from 7pm til 10pm. I guess they can't generate enough power to light the entire city for the entire day. So most people have a generator of their own. I'm thankful for that. It wouldn't be too fun not being able to do anything from 7 til bedtime. So back to cooking. I think I'm doing fine except for one thing. How on earth do you ladies get the veggies to bed done at the same time as the meat? I started my meat about 10 minutes after the veggies and they were done at least 10 minutes earlier. Oh well, practice makes perfect, as they say. I'll just have to keep trying. So, in conclusion, I would like to thank all the ladies for their homecooked meals, because I sure miss them.
