So, my Ghanaian family has continued to be a huge blessing! They are from the Volta region, which is one of the most beautiful parts of Ghana that I was able to visit! We have been getting together once a week for a cultural dinner! They are cooking delicious African food for me, and I am TRYING to help them experience some real American food!
They said that they had never tried a cheese burger -- so I took them to Five Guys last week. The kids loved the fries, but had to be bribed to even try the burger!!! So funny - something that is so ordinary to us - seemed so foreign and scary to them! And, even while I was demonstrating proper burger-eating technique, they couldn't quite get it! One was eating the burger from the top (without the bun - because the sesame seeds looked scary), and the other only tried one bite with a fork, and only after the cheese was scraped off. Burgers were fun - but I think next week we will eat Alabama-style fried chicken and rice -- I think they will actually eat that!
Of course, the baby would eat anything! Isn't he precious!
And this week, they prepared one of my favorites - Red Red and plantian!!!! MMMmmm.
Thank you Jesus, for this little piece of Africa, right here in Auburn:)
