FOOD

I bought fresh pumpkin from the market to make pumpkin soup;

here it is in the beginning stages

... and the final product

The first lunch of provisions I made myself; plantain and dasheen

A delivery from a friend in the village;
mango, banana, plantain, cinnamon, cabbage, ginger and cherries

Looks pretty darn good Jule. I will have to attempt those recipes you sent me. I know I am professionally trained but without the fresh produce like you have I don't know if the end result will be NEARLY as good! Love you
