A Small Request

Hello!

So, this weekend I was supposed to go to my ceramic professor's farm and maybe do some hiking in Lesotho; however, due to the cold weather and other unforeseeable circumstances, we decided to postpone the trip for another weekend.

So, Friday night, I was able to attend a birthday braai for my friend Nokwazi. It is always fun meeting new people.


On a different note, I have a small request for those friends and family members who either enjoy cooking or at least know a few good recipes.

At UKZN, there is not a dining hall where you can buy a meal plan. Instead, we are left to our own devices for cooking. While it would be easy to eat out every night, I try to avoid that path. I have been cooking a lot of pastas, salads, fancy grilled cheeses, and rice dishes. All of my recipes are pretty simple out of laziness and time spent.

I am hoping to broaden my cooking palate while I am out here and would love for people to maybe throw a few recipes my way. The only requirements/restraints are my lack of oven (I only have a stove) and time. Most of the ingredients back home can be found here, just with slight variation in names.

So, if anyone had any recipe they think may be a good one for me I would really appreciate it. If you would just post it in a comment or send me a link to it online or send it to me via email (ejones01@saintmarys.edu), that would be great.


Thank you for your help!

  2. Not a recipe but this simple sandwich is mighty tasty:

    Schmeer a rustic piece of bread (or even a rice cake) with a healthy amount of ricotta cheese and then drizzle a bit of honey on top. Deelish!!!
