Cooking Ghanaian Style

I am so excited! I found a market in Boston that had Ghanaian food including fresh produce!
I had so much fun making my discoveries and purchases. I bought yam, plantain, pepe and palmnut oil!Now to try my hand at the cooking part. I will let you know how it goes.

SURPRISE!

I AM HOME in AMERICA!

I decided in February that I could not possibly miss my daughter’s graduation from college. From then I worked backwards on my calendar and got the things done I had committed to doing. I had the blessings of my NGO, my host family and fellow volunteers and managed to keep it a secret from my daughters too! This experience has been the most challenging endeavor I have taken on yet
I have many stories to tell, many pictures to share, but for now I am focusing my energies on HOME and FAMILY! I promise to be in touch very soon!
