Food

So one of the most frequent questions I got from Volunteers in Cameroon as well as people at home was : What food are you going to eat? What will be your first meal? So I figured I'd record everything I ate during my two weeks at home. I recorded through the first week, and the second week will be up to my feeble memory!

Ok Here it is. A list of my meals for my time home!

I also ate tons of Cherries, Strawberries, and cheese, which I miss more than anything! The only thing we didn't get to was the buffet at the Indian restaurant, but there just weren't enough meals!!! Still, with all that eating, I don't think I gained my goal of 10 pounds! Sad. If only I'd have two more weeks of non-stop eating.
