Dr. Andy Norman, a GYN physician from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, is back staying with us for a couple of weeks. Two female physicians who are staying at the Catholic Guest House in town accompanied him on this trip and all three are doing fistula repairs on Ghanaian women who have experienced difficult and long labor during childbirth.
While Jim is taking care of a serious snake bite and a deep facial cutlass laceration at Tamale Teaching Hospital and Andy, Karen and Candice are busy at the West Hospital in town, I try to put supper on the table for all of us at night. I like being chef of my own kitchen once again; our previous cook, left the area a few months ago. Shopping and food preparation take quite a bit longer than in the US, but it's all "do-able" and forces one to try and be creative. Daily boiling of lots of water is always on the agenda since we cannot drink that which comes out of the faucet. Found some nice eggplant yesterday so will attempt that for tomorrow. Tonight looks like it will be garlic and oil pasta with a side of beans.
