After a tasty meal of not-quite-well-enough-cooked-chicken Sunday night, I suffered a bout of food poisoning Monday evening. Looking on the bright side, it has kept me out of the dining hall for over 24 hours now. Not wanting to sound ungrateful, but the food is different here. To offer just one example, the staple food of Uganda is matooke, pronounced muh-toh-kay. It looks like a banana that never ripens (green), has the texture of a potato, and tastes extremely bland. It must be eaten with some kind of sauce. We are not sure why the locals call it comfort food.

I had a slow day of sleeping, sitting in front of my computer, and tutoring today, finished off with my attempt to cook pancakes in our house. They actually turned out alright, much to the girls' surprise.

We have all felt a little sick do to food and malaria medicine lately, so please pray that we recover quickly. Two of us may be switching our medicines under the supervision of the doctor here.
