A couple of weeks ago I got to spend a night away with some other moms from church where my friend, Rose, our resident African cooking expert (she's from Uganda) taught us all kinds of African dishes.
She seriously went all out! I think she prepared over 11 different dishes. I'm so excited to have some kind of African food repertoire to introduce to my family and also to have in our regular meal rotation for when our daughter comes home.
It was all so yummy. I mean really, really yummy!! I ate way too much and totally blew off my calorie limits for the night, but it was so delicious. I couldn't even tell you what my favorite dish was, probably either the eggplant thing, the couscous/chicken/bacon dish or the simosas!
While I was off filling my belly and have a fun "night off" with some other mommies, Chris was so awesome to doing some fun stuff with the kids. He took them to Cici's Pizza for dinner and while they were there, a lady was walking around offering face painting. All the kids ended up getting them on their arms instead, but they were all so upset when they got home and Chris told them it was time for showers/baths and that their pictures would wash off. They made him take pictures with the camera so that when I got home that night I could see their cool arm drawings!
