One
of the great things about how God works is how he prepares us before
hand and works things together. One of my closest friends in college
and still today is Ezanya. She is from Nigeria and has been a great
resource to us as we begin to prepare for living in her country. We
visited her city and she made a Nigerian dinner for us. Bob
confirmed how similar it was to what he ate when he went to Nigeria in June.

| Red Stew (Chicken) with Beans and Rice |
She
made us Rice, Beans and a red stew with Chicken. It was really yummy
and a great chance for us to get used to what we will be eating lots
of. Caleb also enjoyed the rice, Lydia not so much. We had a good
laugh because those who know me know I have zero spice tolerance. I
need sour crème on my “mild” enchiladas. Ezanya included chili
powder in the red sauce, she and Bob both commented on the level of
spice before I had even taken one bite, making be very nervous to
even try it. I did try in and with some sour cream enjoyed my whole
plate. Sour cream may not be available in Nigeria but our friends
the Winklers have told us about making and using yogurt instead.
Check out their blog for a recipe. Now if we can just Lydia
to eat rice...
