One of the biggest changes for me while in the States is cooking. In Africa, everything is done from scratch. But while I'm here, I have to admit to doing things the easy way, throwing away the cookbook, and using mixes as much as possible. And not only is it easier, it tastes just as good. Right?
Maybe not.
The other night I made Sloppy Joes which is one of my kids favorites. But instead of gobbling it down like normal, Gabriel asked me what it was.
"What is it? Sloppy Joes of course," I told him.
"These don't taste like your Sloppy Joes," he said.
"That's because they aren't what I regularly fix. The sauce came from a package."
"But it taste like spaghetti sauce. . ."
Needless to say, he wasn't impressed. Which actually made me feel good. Because before long, we'll be back eating my home made Sloppy Joes. . .and Gabe will be happy.
Blessings,
Lisa
