Bruce the Baker

You've heard of Bob the Builder. Now meet Bruce the Baker!

Bruce works at our local grocery store. We are blessed to have a supermarket in Moshi. It's called Nakumatt and it's a chain in Kenya. Their grocery selection isn't huge, but it's better than the small shops we had in Korogwe. They have a lot of home goods, but the prices are outrageous so we don't buy any of those things. Some of their groceries are high too so George knows what to buy at Nakumatt and what to buy at other small shops.

One department we love at Nakumatt is the bakery. Bruce is in charge of the bakery which makes all kinds of things: hot dog and hamburger buns, bread, doughnuts, cakes, meat pies, samosas, scones, croissants and more. We are not sure where Bruce is from, but we think South Africa. Whenever we go there he is there baking and servicing the counter. He is very friendly and says hi to us every time. Outside Nakumatt there is a life size cardboard cut out of Bruce promoting the bakery. There is one inside too and he was nice enough to take a photo with it. We love Bruce and his baked goods!

PS Eli is now 22 pounds and very heavy to lug around the store. Last time we went, we tried a shopping cart. Of course, his mouth went straight to the metal bar, much to my horror. At first he liked the cart, but then wanted to be carried. Anyway, it was nice to have a break for a bit (and he looked so old and cute in it)!
