As previously mentioned, on Saturday, March 12th (or Saturday, 12th March for all you weirdos who put the date before the month) my flatmate and I hosted a Kenyan dinner party. Yes, the event actually took place; the food was delicious and the company even better. Our poor refrigerator was put to the test as we filled it to the brim with veggies, meat, and drinks:
Here is the master-chef, Charity, beginning her preparations. Also, I think I am getting yelled at in this picture for taking too many photos and not doing enough chopping:
The secret ingredients to Kenyan food: meat, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and a little Royco. In the following pictures I would like to point out two things to my mom. One: I may not know how to cook but I can chop up tomatoes and two: I'm no longer a spinach virgin, I actually ate it.
The master-chef at work, do not disturb:
The snacks à la Kelcey:
Here's the guest list, I've already introduced you to all of them except two. In the first picture we have Wesh, Sam (one of the two you haven't met yet, he is Wesh's roommate), Andy, Marte and AJ. In the second is Mercy and Maddie (Marte, AJ, Andy and Frank's new roomie; she's Australian so we now have our own personal tour guide).
The feast (I'm sorry I don't have the names of them, but Charity says Kenyan's don't give names to specific dishes, if she tells me differently in the future I will let you know, but for now you'll have to settle on the ingredients):
And the rest of the night is history :) The food was delicious, my compliments to the chef. If I get called upon to host an American dinner party, are there any foods that can actually be dubbed American? Thoughts, suggestions, and comments would be greatly appreciated!
