This Christmas the baking fever hit me big time. Miriam and Rachel, Florence's daughters who stay here too, wanted to learn to cook Muzungu style. So....among us we made 10 different kinds of cookies, maybe 20 dozen altogether. Many of the recipes I had never made before, so it was an experiment. I never thought I'd be really cooking here in Africa. Believe it or not, I have even held cake baking "classes" for some who wanted to learn.
At this point, most of the cookies have been given away to neighbors, boda drivers, a church party, family, service workers, etc. Well....OK....we have eaten quite a few too.
Today we are making just 4 kinds more, favorites of ours from the initial baking. Most of these will be for sharing too.
What a fun way to celebrate the holiday.
