No, it's not clothes...it's our fruit and veg! They need to be cleaned in sterile solution and then rinsed and dried prior to being eaten or frozen for later use, just to make sure we don't pick up any unwanted bugs or germs: another of those little domestic tasks in Dodoma. This is how my kitchen looks after a trip to the market, with our "oranges" drying out nicely on a teatowel (Tanzanian oranges are usually green!).Meanwhile, in the garden, Jane works on washing and cleaning our grain, freshly bought from the market, setting it out in the sun to dry, before we put it through our Kenwood milling attachement and make our flour for brown bread:
Now that the grain has dried out, Andrew and Ben try out the milling action on our Kenwood... hopefully we'll get some nice brown bread when the flour is ready!

What a wonderful display of colour - all local produce. Good to see the boys in the kitchen - I'm sure Ben will think the bread tastes better knowing he's helped to make it. He's going to be very domesticated. Can't beat a Kenwood!
ReplyDeleteYes, I too was struck by the colourful display of food.Looks very inviting- washed or unwashed!
ReplyDeleteso glad the milling Kenwood attachment made it to Dodoma after all those anxious phone calls during your few last days here
