of food and friends

there seem to be a lot of food related posts here lately, doesn't there? i'm somewhat sorry, but really, it tends to be a big focus of a peace corps volunteer's life outside of doing good work- we tend to plan, get excited about, and document our delicious meals. 

this was one of those times.

 

a while ago, when the new western restaurant opened in our town, we made friends with the owner, a fabulous woman named reaksmay.  she likes to try baking or cooking new items, and often we're blessed with being given a small something of these new endeavors to taste.  one of those was a slice of lasagna, and chris, jill, and i swore we were going to ask her to make it again sometime, just for us. 

lasagna isn't on the menu typically- based on what we paid for our huge slices, i can tell you the ingredients for making it seem to be quite prohibitive, and i don't imagine many people- or us!- in our town could afford to order it regularly.

but good lord, was it good.

do you ever plan your life around your next delicious meal?
