We started the day visiting the community garden. The homeless can work in the garden and earn tokens to be redeemed at the local shelter for food, toiletries or even a bed for the night.
They grow a vast array of food that is available to be purchased. We bought a lot - carrots, Swiss chard, lettuce, grapefruit marmalade, radishes, turnips and cabbage.
We even bought artichokes which we had to go out into the field to harvest.
Then we went to the super duper Woolworth's food store and went down every aisle. Lots of things were familiar, some not so much. They had a paella mix of seafood looked very appealing. Unfortunately out host is allergic to fish.
We bought the ingredients for bobotie, a South African cassarole I have been wanting to make. It's Cape Malay fare served with yellow rice, coconut, bananas and chutney. Yum.
While we were waiting for dinner, I went off to a guide meeting with Stepanie, the resident guide. They made up skits demonstrating the the guide laws while taking turns at the sewing machine.
They are making halter tops from bandana to sell along with various other things in support of cheetah rescue, this year's charity. I got to help with the sewing, I was right at home.
