GARI

 Gari

a granular flour from ground cassava. It looks like cream of wheat with a slight texture. It is made with milk or water with sugar and peanuts are added to give it texture. It thickens up when liquid is added. Not much taste except for sugar. I could have added more water to this. Fine china....Tupperware

PAINTING IN GHANA

 I thought that I would give some of the wood cupboards in the kitchen a fresh coat of paint. So bought paint and brushes. Opened paint and it was like pudding, thick as glue. tried to paint with it but it ended up being lumpy on the cupboard. I thought something wrong with the paint, nope, one dilutes it when you want to paint???????? weird or what. The painting mood passed for a few weeks. Today, holiday, a good time to reboot the painting mood. Got a second container to  pour some of the thick paint into and dilute with some water, how much, a guess. Well it was easier but did not seem to cover very well. It is flat paint so no sheen. Fan turning to speed up drying I hope. I did paint a few places, it does look better, I think I will bring a pot of varathane white paint back with me to redo the cupboards. Oh well I tried.   

I am continuing to follow the Ukraine invasion I wonder what will stop the Russians short of a massive war,, I pray not.as I play with paint, something wrong with this whole situation. 

                                                                                        

 

INDEPENDENCE DAY - GHANA

 tomorrow is the actual Independence Day which was celebrated today. It is a holiday like Canada Day. Today schools marched to a drummer, actually I have been hearing the bass drum being practiced in my neighbourhood for the past month. The marching schools was evaluated and the winners were given trophies. After church the dean, precentor and myself hopped in the car and went to the college playing field for all the festivities, police and army lined up, politicians, chiefs, local and federal leaders. It was like the CNE with food hackers, water for sale. lots and lots of kids and parents, I wondered in the car what the average family size was, and was told average 5 children/ family.  

here are the police lined up with a peak at the trophies at the bottom of the pic.

I have a video with one of the marching kids but can not up load it off the phone (still learning how to get this computer stuff to work)

The internet is a major problem these days, like every day and it becomes a real pain in the neck. I am having problems trying to solve it .....  ugh

yesterday ASH WEDNESDAY

 There were two services at the cathedral, 530 am and 9am, can you guess which one I attended, you are correct 9am. My rational is that God made the dark for use to sleep so getting up for a 530am service does not compute for me LOL I know .

We had over 200 kids from the near by Anglican schools and their teachers in the cathedral. The energy was electric. Ages were from KG to high school. All lines up for the imposition of ashes. While receiving the ashes it was interesting to watch their faces. Some were afraid, some were deep in thought. I would love to know what they were exactly thinking. 

LENT has started and the purple colour reminds us that we are reviewing our lives and preparing for the Holy Day of Easter.
