Food issues

Sorry not to have written for a few days, as I know you were all on the edge of your seats waiting for my next exhilarating post from Kumasi.

So here it is. The reason I didn’t post anything is because I had my second case of food poisoning in Ghana on Sunday. I ate some stew on Saturday that must have been spoiled and it caught up with me on Sunday. I’m fine now, but Sunday was a pretty brutal day.

The reason for this is that we don’t have a fridge, which is nothing too abnormal here. With the food that we cook (our get Grace to cook for us), we re-heat it twice a day to keep it from spoiling. This will keep something for at least three days, but I think I got to the stew on day 4 or it wasn’t properly re-heated. Another lesson learned, hopefully for the last time.

So apart from being sick, there’s not too much else to report right now. But in light of this, I think you should all take a minute to hug your fridge for keeping your food fresh and you healthy.
