Kenya

What about my homes away from home and their influences?  Although Kenya isn’t typically noted for its food, there’s always good food to be shared with good people.



the best chapatti ever was made by 
my Masaai matriarch (Lady in red)
 The secret?? Goat MILK - it pours like a pancake 
batter unlike typical Indian style chapati 
that is a flat and grilled dough




One of our baby goats, but don't get too
excited - the masaai are a pastoralist
tribe which means..
 













 

Goat slaughter!  Could have done without but it
was a good biology lesson and one in preservation
Gnarley! Vegetarians, take caution...
...chug that blood


Blow air into collapsed lungs for a cool effect... and really freak out the onlookers

Goat Guts...the Masaai and other pastoralist tribes don’t let any go to waste!  So we didn’t either




There are so many different communities (of eaters!) in Kenya.
I loved my time with the my Kipsigis family on their tea farm 

time spent in the kitchen with my Kipsigis
mom and siblings was some of most fun
 
Frying Dough - mmmm Maandazi







Dinner with the family

UGALI The beige colored mush is the
main starch here and in most of Kenya
On the farm with my pops was hard work... but somebody’s gotta deliver the goods for our family dinners around the living area

What about the hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania?  Learning their tricks of the trade was like getting to know the land
Diggin' for Yams

Burning the Yams for eating












Mansoor Carving a Hunting Stick









Hacking for Honey 

Mombasa's beaches are glorious... which means the seafood is even better, not to mention when you have a chef that comes to prepare it at your villa... what what?!  Oodles of fresh fruit, worthy of a kiss!
