First Dinner in the Dark = Success!

Every night here the power tends to go out around 6 or 7pm.... annndd as the days go on, its been going out for longer and longer periods of time. NBD really since we still have all of our trusty electronic gadgets that run on batteries and the wifi is backed up by a massive battery thing that kicks in when the power goes out - so we never really get affected when it does go off since we're still connected to the world lol!

Howeverrrrrrr, we always held off making our dinner until the power came back on - just to be safe! Today was a different story though. The power went off around 6:30pm, maybe a bit earlier, but we were waay too hungry to wait for it to come back on - and thankfully we didn't wait, 'cause it only just came back on about 20mins ago (almost 3hrs - which is really long for Gitarama!). Anyways, we brought all of our light generating electronic gadgets into the kitchen with us along with two trusty candles, and got to work! The result? Probably the best meal we've made yet, no joke lol!

We've had to be pretty innovative since we've arrived in Gitarama because our groceries basically consist of rice, pasta and veggies. There's really only so much you can create out of that - but we're starting to expand and be creative. Tonight we decided to use our mushroom soup as a creamy sauce to go over our rice. We added some veggies and spices to the sauce as well for that extra "kick" and flavour (or something like that...) Mashed it all up together, et voila! Our attempt to cook in the dark actually turned out to be a scrumptious meal! We're so brilliant ;-)

Here it is!:

"The Masterpiece"

Ps. I am well aware that the above does not look appetizing to the human eye by any means, but I swear in the light (once it came back on and from what we could see through the use of light from candles and electronics) it truly did look very yummy in real life! Believe me :-)
