Photo Gallery #57- A Feast, Darda-Style, Part I
As
I mentioned, I was at PST in time to catch both the official
Embassy
Thanksgiving celebration, and the party put on by the Trainees
at Darda.
It was quite an event, and getting everything ready was half
the fun...

Green
exterior aside, it's still a pumpkin.
|
Which
Kimberly was in charge of turning into pie. |
|
| |
Meanwhile
Meghan was on veggie duty, soaking everything in bleach
water first, to kill the germs. |
Quite
possibly the first time a Chadian boule pestle
has ever been used to make guacamole.

Valery,
preparing chips- there's no shaving cream in them, it's
just a rolling pin. |
Chewy
and Chad were in charge of frying, and keeping snackers
at bay. |
|
| |
|
Someone
contributed supplies from home to make a Velveeta casserole.... |
|
|
With
asparagus. |
|
One of the big hits was stuffing, headed up by Steve, Becky,
and Kristen, with a little help peeling garlic on my part.
Step one, a dozen stale N'Djamena baguettes, torn into pieces. |
|
|
Step
two- Many, many onions. |
| Step
three- Even more garlic. |
|
|
Step
four- More onions. |
| Kristen,
trying to look as forlorn as possible. |
|
|
Step
five- light the ganoum. The onions and garlic had
to be sautéed somehow... |
| |
|
|
Step
six- Stir with oil. Steve's dad is a professional chef,
apparently, so he was put in charge. |
