Being welcomed by Mozambique

-




For this 'Shoulda Been Dead' tour we are going all over Africa. 

An amazing Country from what I have seen so far. Yesterday we held  an event in Mozambique and then we traveled today to  Botswana to hold an event here, I will tell more about that tomorrow. Mozambique from what I ate there are foods similar to Portuguese food (From Portugal).

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that the typical Mozambican food is seafood. There is the ocean nearby so everyone eats all type of seafood. There are even people who stand by the ocean toward the evening with a fresh catch of fish and just sell it, out in the open. So Unique.

Here is also a picture of one of the means of transport here in Mozambique. The back of a pick up truck... Take a look. As we were driving around the City today I saw a bunch of people hitching a ride in the back of this truck. I was told that that is a quick way for people to get around. Since there is too many people for the regular public transport.

Mozambique received us with such open arms. Here in Mozambique they received us SOOOOOOO well. You wouldn't believe it, They made a party at the airport.

As soon as we stepped foot outside the door of the airport there was like 50 people clapping and singing and dancing for us with their traditional clothes on. We were super shocked/ shy at the same time cause we were like what is this. There was even people (other people on the street/taxi drivers/those leaving the airport with suitcases in hand stopping to look and take pictures of everything.

They were all looking and wondering who are those "important" people that they are making this huge party for... (Great evangelism tool)




Take a Look at them celebrating...

                                   


Before this, As we were getting into the plane to go from Namibia to Mozambique we noticed this... I had to take a picture. 
Look


This guy who was walking in front of us has a 'Shoulda Been Dead' book in his hand. Maybe to read in the plane.  How Nice... We were so happy when we saw that.

But at the event in Mozambique (Which went great by the way) we had about 10,000 youth show up for this movement against drugs.





We even got to join them at the event in wearing traditional styled clothes made specifically for us by a Youth Power Group member of Mozambique. How special, We absolutely loved it. Thank You all for your kindness, Mozambique.

Africa is not at all what I expected, it is not at all what America portrays it to be... It is so much more developed and so unique in ever way.

                                                                SO

Keep posted for more blogs coming soon, today we are in Botswana, Africa. I will let you know more about their foods, culture, the events held here and more. Stay posted for more on Botswana and the upcoming Countries.

God Bless
From where I am to you, Elise

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Image
Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk.
