Choma Party

Yesterday, George and I went to his parent's house for a choma party. That's a Kenyan version of a barbeque. Soua is an exchange student from the US who is staying with George's family. She has been here for six weeks and has been a great addition to the family. She goes back to Nairobi on Sunday and wanted to do a choma party before leaving. Almost the whole family was there along with a few other students from the US. A goat was purchased, slaughtered and butchered for the occasion. Lunch was supposed to be at 2:00, but we didn't eat until 6:00. That is typical timing for here. While we waited for everyone to arrive, lots of cooking was done and George grilled the goat. By the time dinner was ready, we had tons of food: Pilau, goat, mashed potatoes (my contribution), chiapatti, beans, guacamole (so yummy!), chicken and more.



We all gathered in the front yard around the table to serve up. It was a nice time of good food and good company.
