Kupika Pilau

Today I went to my language teachers house to learn to cook Pilau and Green Bananas Stew. She met me at my house and rode with me to her house. I could tell she had not ridden in many cars, and I was scaring her to death. She kept asking me to slow down.... haha. Once we arrived, she showed me around. She has a VERY nice house and has many investments. She is in the process of even building dukas out in the front of her plot for people to rent from her. Smart woman.
She lives with her daughter, grand daughter, 2 girls she adopted, and 3 of her house workers.

I loved the Pilau but the green bananas..... ehhhh.... they were ok.... I only ate a small bit. I did have to say the "M" prayer due to raw veggies I ate as a salad praying they didnt make me sick, but I feel fine so far.
