Beets!

We don't have a huge selection of vegetables in Kigoma, so we can easily get tired of the same repeats. We have tried to grow some of our own in our garden, but with dry season upon us it's hard to keep a garden going. There are a couple of vegetables that the locals like but isn't enjoyed by our family, like okra and eggplant. This past month we decided to try beets, a friendly muslim man brought them to our gate, so we decided to give them a try. They were a hit! I just boiled them 'til tender and sliced them up for lunch. It's so nice to have something different than the typical tomato and avocado (which we love).
Beets for lunch.

Smick, smack, smooth -- beets are gone.
