mi pasta es su pasta: July 2013

there is no point to give you a whole long spiel about how i am sorry for being absent from this blog for a while and how i promise to get back into it. the point is that i am excited about recent culinary delights and i'd like you to hear about them so you can enjoy them yourself. also, don't expect any personal dishes in the near future. living at home has its perks- mom cooks better than anyone so why bother? catsitting in the west village also has its perks- seamless- case and point. so this is more of a chronical of bites that i've digested over the past however many months. enjoy, dream, savor, repeat.

chai. pretty much sums up my culinary experience in africa. however, this chai (black tea, freshly pasteurized milk, and a ton of sugar) is a symbol of hospitality. i was served chai maybe four times over the course of my 24-hour homestay with a maasai family. it was delicious and required several pre-emptive immodiums.

The Rock. the best restaurant and taste of food i had my entire stay in east africa. we took a boat to this restaurant off the west coast of zanzibar. what a treat...
