I think I’ve already mentioned how lucky I am in Rwanda because it is a country with cheese. Not just the Laughing-Cow stuff: real cheese. On my last trip into Butare I bought a half heel of gouda cheese and brought it home to make my own version of mac & cheese!
I have decided to call the experiment a moderate success. Considering I cooked on a wood fire held up by rocks and had three Rwandan roommates rolling on the floor with laughter as I tried to strain pasta without a strainer, I’m giving myself a pat on the back.
In order to make this a nutritiously balanced diet I complimented my oily starches with green beans! I cooked them with carrots and onions and added what I feared might be too much salt and various other spices. I thought it was delicious. My roommate Grace looked like she was going to vomit when she tried them. Umunyu!!! She screamed as she grabbed the saltshaker. Rwandans love salt.
