Things that make us smile

It is the small things in life that often put a smile on our face... This week has been a great food week for us. As much as I would like to say that is every week, it just would not be true.

Kicking off the week we had the BEST pork ribs we have ever had. Truly a treat.

Tonight we had some of the BEST pizza either of us had ever had.

Sometimes we need those small things to remind us how blessed we truly are! Hope you have a fun meal tonight... always feel free to share pictures so we can live vicariously through you.

Shawn used to say that it only took seven minutes for a group of expats to turn the conversation to food. It is so comforting to have really good food. :)

We have committed to serving the staff and patients at the CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda, and the people of Uganda, for the next few years. The hospital has made great strides in the way we treat Hydrocephalus and in how we minister and care for our patients and their families. The hospital is growing and we want to ensure success in achieving our team's objectives during this exciting time. Our goal is to be zero-cost to CURE while adding value to our mission. We invite you to partner with us as we further develop our staff, expand our mission and care for "the least of these." Thank you for your consideration to support us while we serve in the field.

Cooking Corner

The other day I was encouraged to write a little something about fun new things we are making here in Uganda. I am FAR from a good cook, homemaker type; however, if you want good food here… you must learn how to make it yourself. So, this weeks fun experiment was making Ricotta Cheese. How EASY!

How To:

2 C Cream

4 C Milk

1 t Salt

3 T White Wine Vinegar

Let the Cream, Milk and Salt come to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour in the vinegar and let sit for one minute. Pour into a sieve covered with a damp cheese cloth. Let sit for 30+min. Use immediately or refrigerate for 3-4! Fun! Turned out great and will be used in Lasagna this week.
