One fruit Nalerigu has plenty of is watermelon!
Fried Cheese
I’m always curious about what foods the street vendors in town are selling. One day when Heidi and I were walking back from market we saw a lady frying what looked like tofu. Turns out it was cheese – though it looked and felt just like tofu. We bought a bag full of the treats […]
Crepes for Supper!
Since it was one of the Sundays William was away I decided to make an easy meal for Trey & myself. I gathered up what we had (jelly, P&B, yogurt, fruit) and wrapped them up in the crepes. A nice little meal for me and Trey!
Salifu the Grocer
Nalerigu doesn’t have a very reliable power grid, so there aren’t any grocery stores that carry perishable items. You have to wait for market day (every 3 days) to buy fresh vegetables and fruit (though it is quite a limited selection). There is a store by the market that is open all week long and […]
BMC Stories hit the Baptist Press
The three stories Emily Peters wrote about the Baptist Medical Centre have been published on the GoWestAfrica.org website as well as by the Baptist Press. The BP has now distributed it to all its affiliates and the stories are popping up all over the web (and in some newspapers). I got an email from Mike […]

Feast for a Thousand

Sanyu
I had this edible treat down in southern Ghana. Sanyu is beef or lamb meat that is grilled inside the intestines of the animal. While the meat simmers inside it soaks up all the flavor from the spices that were rubbed on it. Before serving the tender meat more spices are added. I must say, […]
Comic Sans Flakes
I gave you a look at the artistic genius that is my breakfast every morning. Unfortunately Heidi gets the opposite. She eats some generic Ghanaian corn flakes every day and has to stare at a box featuring the Comic Sans font. No breakfast of champions would write the word “champion” in Comic Sans. For those […]
