Cooking Local Food

This week I learned how to cook local soto ayam (chicken and rice soup with limes, bean spouts, onions, sawi). It is our family's favorite meal these days. We have it at least once a week. Now that my language is really moving forward, I know a lot of the cooking terms and I have a good "food" vocab so this was real enjoyable for me and as you can see for Maggie too. This friend is also the one who has helped from time to time with Maggie. She is very like-minded and has taught Maggie the local lingo (She doesnt speak any English). I think I am about to have this friend work with me on spiritual vocab. I have found a non-believing conversation partner, but I am going to put her off for a few weeks until I can settle Dave a bit more with his "playing with friends" routine.

Next week, I am cooking something else. Will keep you posted.....
