One fun thing about this job is that I can incorporate everything I love most into my blog - and since I love writing, it comes naturally to me anyways! You all know that I went to West Africa back in January, and one thing I loved about being there was tasting all kinds of different foods. Their cuisine is based around a lot of fish and chicken, so when we ate local that's what we had.

A dish that is extremely popular there is called Thiéboudienne. We were fortunate enough to have this authentically prepared for us by a local, and it was absolutely delicious! I promised myself I'd make it right when I got home but when I looked up the recipe I realized it would take 2+ hours! So I set aside an afternoon where I could do it justice...
