Thanksgiving was a big deal at Maji Zuwa this year. We were lucky enough to have the US Ambassador to Malawi as a guest for the afternoon, as well as her husband who is a retired US Ambassador.
Also in attendance were some local peace corps volunteers, latitude volunteers staying at Maji Zuwa, an Argentinian who happened to be traveling through, a couple from Karonga working with the Paladin Mine, and Matt.
It was a long day of baking and cooking and by the end of it I was covered in flour and sweat but it was well worth it. We had a great lunch and I'm thankful for all the help in the kitchen! I also had a lot of help from my mom. She e-mailed me some recipes to work with and helped to find substitutions as needed.
What was I thankful for? The fact that the electricity stayed on the entire time I was cooking with the toaster oven!
Here's some pics!
