Uh, what is that on my plate?

Hi guys! Now, if you look at the subject, it almost explains it all.
Here in Zambia, the staple food in Nshima(it is YUMMY!). It is a filling,
easy to make and cheap food. Now, in America, our staple food is
hamburgers, hotdogs, and pizza. Now Nshima (the N is silent, so it is
pronounced shima) is quite different. It is made of the same thing grits
are made of, except it isn't so runny(and it usually isn't eaten for
breakfast). Now, Nshima is not eaten plain. You eat it with relish, which
can be almost anything. Fried caterpillars, (I have tried them and they
taste like French fries! Except the ones that aren't cooked very well. They
are still gooey on the insides! Chicken feet(which are eaten with the bones
and toenails!!! And, they aren't very yummy!) Cow intestines(they look like
honey comb and they and they are VERY chewy.) And, I was even brave enough
to try Field Rat!!!(it tasted like steak!!) Oh, and one more. Kapenta,
which are little tiny fish that are eaten with the eye balls and guts and
bones!! (these ones taste like soggy French fries!) Now, all of these I
have eaten, and I say these things by personal experience. Now there is
lots more. Beans, cabbage, meatballs, scrambled eggs, soya,(That is the
stuff that is on the plate in the picture, it looks like little pieces of
meat. It tastes like chicken. We have it a lot. The other thing on the
plate is the Nshima.) You name it!!
Well, I hope I didn't gross you out!
Ta-ta!

4 pictures for you

HELLO! I am so sorry I have not wrote in a long time!! Whenever I want to,
the internet isn't working, the power is out, or Dad or Mom is on the
computer. One of my New Year's resolutions is blogging 3 times a week or
more!
If you are wondering what these pictures are of, I will tell you.
So, Sunday morning, at about 8:45, we heard some knocking at our gate.
Bradyn went out to answer it, and there were 5 kids asking to pick some
fruit/berries, called Msukai, from our tree. After asking dad, he came to
the gate and let them in. Mom was a bit nervous that we let them climb it,
cuz it was a 40 foot high tree! One time, I looked up, and about 40 feet
above me, there was this teenager sitting on a branch about as big as you
ankle! When I saw that, closed my eyes and prayed a silent prayer!!
Thankfully, all they left with was barrels of berries!!! Thank God for
that!!!! All of us felt good about blessing those people! Unfortunately,
they didn't know English very well, so it was hard to communicate.
Today we started school again, after a whole month off. I think I
like Having August, April, And December off instead of having June, July and
August off. Then You don't forget things!
Well, I hope you liked my update!
Alive in Africa,
