The Mears Family: Cooking in Africa...a journey for me
http://mearsfamilylife.blogspot.com/2012/05/cooking-in-africaa-journey-for-me.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. Cooking in Africa.a journey for me. Yes, I have totally felt this after moving to Africa. Many new foods, pots and pans I was not used to, not my spices I was used to, a different store, cooking from scratch for 3 meals a day x 7 days a week, no drive-thru or take-out or delivery, not having my cookbooks, etc, etc. I understand! I was telling a friend that I went through phases with cooking after I moved to Africa. Phase 1 - (0-3 months). Phase 2 - (3-6 mo). Phase 3 - (6-12 mo).

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Anna and I want to update you on our plans in the coming months. As most of you know, I decided not to extend my contract with IJM Rwanda beyond June 2014.

We will land in Texas on June 24, spend a few weeks seeing family and friends (hopefully many of you! Sounds like a good change!
