Today was a wonderful day!!! I cooked and ate my first taste of SIMA...a special Malawian treat of flour and water...yummy! Rose, one of the keepers of the CHDI guesthouse, taught me how to make it . Literally, boil water and then pour in flour or corn meal (depending on your preference). Stir it with a wooden stick until it gets very hard and thick. Ta dah!!! Sima at its finest...today, Rose, Mary, and I paired it with some vegetables and eggs. The men, however, wrapped fish around their balls of sima (an option I might choose to stray away from, haha). Lunch break in Malawi is a real adventure, as you can now see! It was a wonderful experience and my initiation into the village of Neno.
