Banana and bacon pizza! Who would have guessed?!

Its called 'fiji' ... Do they eat this in Fiji? Probably not... But will continue to eat it here. The banana is subtly sweet and just creamy enough to match with the mozzarella cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and salty bacon. Try it at any romans pizza joint near you! ... If you are in South Africa ,near a major city. Oh yea I'd recommend getting the thick crust. The toppings could get a little much if you go thin crust.

'Fiji' pizza at Romans Pizza
R54 ($7.70) for a medium that serves 2-3.
Follow it up with a fruit juiced cosmo in a pouch. They are meant to be frozen so check it!

Veggie cheese stew w/ wild rice and ...

Warm doughnuts w/ banana and custard... Easyyyyy

Forget the stew it was ok.

Dessert:
3 doughnuts, one banana , pre-made custard... Or you can make some custard just make sure it is chilled .

Smash and heat the doughnuts ... You will smell them when they are done . Mash the banana. Douse with the cool custard and serve. Yum.

I am developing a desert with the local bogobe.

'Chomie Rice

So I made up a dish, Chomie Rice. Homie means friend for rice.

Chomie Rice:
2 cups of rice.
1 tabs of oil
Rice spice (garam masala will work)
1/2 onion
1 red apple
Pinch of rock salt
Few grinds of black pepper
Sprinkle of cayenne pepper
2 1/2 cups of water
1 can of beans in tomato sauce.
Beetroot ( I use beetroot in vinegar)

Instructions:
Cook the onion , rice spice, apple pepper and salt until the onions and apples are soft.

Pour half cup of water and cayenne and let it simmer.

Add rice drained beans and water.
Let cook until rice is soft.
Add beat root for color and as an added bonus of flavor.

Love it.

P.s its called chomie rice because it makes me some friends from both the flies and my 3 year old host niece.

Fist fighting typical lunch. Fighting on a moving bus.

Slim on words today. Bogobe, beatroot, cabbage, chicken.

I was on my way home on one of the public transportation buses when this woman who was carry a baby came to the back of the bus, dropped off her kid, went to the front of the bus and started to get in a fist fight. She lost the fight ... I didn't know a weave was that strong. The other girl was holding her weaved in wig with one hand and pummeling her with the other one. Classic... Who says the bus is boring? I sure as hell didn't. I'm glad its the only way to get to my village.

For dinner I made a beef sausage stew . My principal made some bogobe and we showed down. Pleasant end to a hilarious day.
