This post comes as a request...


While there is much more variety in food at the local market than I had originally expected, I have no cookbooks and am becoming bored of my various rice-bean-veggie inventions.

Here is a list of foods I have access to at the market. If anyone feels like passing on a recipe that includes said foods, I would be ever so grateful! They could be sent by email or facebook.

Please note that I have no oven or fridge. Only a two burner coleman stove.

Meat and meatish:

Various cuts of zebu (including ground meat)

Unfortunately, chicken is not an option (the only way to buy chicken here is alive) I don't like chicken enough to spend the time killing, feathering, and gutting it so I can can eat it for dinner.

Fish (fish steak, whole fish, shrimp) Oh, and lobster season has begun!

Beans of all varieties

Eggs

Peanuts

Fruits and veggies:

Tomatoes, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potato leaves, cucumber, leeks, carrots, eggplant, pumpkin, green beans, corn, cabbage.

Pineapple, mango, banana, passionfruit, papaya, coconut, oranges.

Others:



Noodles

Peanut butter, soya sauce, vinegar, milk powder


Spices: salt, pepper, curry, chili, others can be bought from the 'specialty' store

Thanks a million!

  1. I will get onto researching you some recipes! I am at Susie's at the moment and we have been reminiscing while drinking our tea in the DRAWING room. Mahvelous, dahling, don't you agree? xoxo

  2. Glad to see you're eating beef! We should have taught you how to cook it back at the Spanish Lantern. We looked up pictures of the zebu...very ugly, indeed!

    Sounds like quite the adventurous Christmas break! You are a CRAZY white woman...but that's why we like you!

    Any news on changes in position? Any more hairy spiders? Nasty!

    You should write a book about all your adventures over yonder...it's quite unbelievable!

    We're pretty sure you don't miss the snow! Right now the car doors are frozen shut after taking the car to get washed. Boo! The city is slow on plowing the roads, and has decided not to plow side streets to save money.

    Come home and shower...and have a sauna built by Peter!

    We miss you! When are you coming home?

    How are you doing? Drop another line soon! This is an order! : )

    Love,

    Candice and Kathryn

    I will have Grandma dig out recipes for you and will pass them on to you via e-mail

    Say Hi to Yvon

    Love and prayers
