Dinner time


Thought I would put up some more photos before my nightshift data (10pm-10am bonus data that expires two weeks after activation) runs out at midnight today (well, technically tomorrow).


These are the cooking gas tanks we use at the office (my apartment doesn't have a kitchen). The kitchen has two. Along with a gazillion stainless steel, handle-less pots, and I think two handle-less pans (shown below). It's nice to be able to adjust the heat so easily.


Usually I make vegetables with rice or pasta, but today I decided to switch up the starch and bought some potatoes. I added some of the dried oregano I bought at the Nakumatt yesterday, which made my potato slices so much better.

Featuring ketchup!!! And the office's harsh, fluorescent lighting.
Also made some tomatoes, zucchini, and an egg for protein. Definitely a strange combination but I just make what's cheap and easy. There's no fridge, so I buy the vegetables I need just before dinner everyday. Today, I got three small tomatoes (5 shillings), one mini zucchini (5 shillings), two small/medium potatoes (10 shillings), and an egg (12 shillings), which added up to 32 shillings - about 40 cents.

Sometimes I worry that I am not getting enough protein here, since I generally don't eat meat when in town. In Nairobi, I almost bought protein powder! But it was expensive and heavy. Damn I miss tofu. I need to eat more beans.
