Our family, and the Hambrices, have really been spending a lot of time in a village named Savilong.\u00a0 There are a lot of really nice people there, and several of them have been willing to help us learn Tok Pisin well.\u00a0 Mandy and I met a woman named Rosemary who wants to help us, and she mentioned that she wants to learn how to bake a cake!\u00a0 Someone asked me, \u201cdo they not eat cake there?!\u201d\u00a0 Well\u2026no!\u00a0 They basically live off the land, so anything that you need from the store (flour, salt, sugar, etc.) is not readily available to make cakes!<\/p>\n

A few of the ladies came over last week, and Mandy and I taught them how to bake.\u00a0 Side note: any time we go visit them, we just sit outside their house.\u00a0 They don\u2019t do anything in their house except sleep, and they have nothing, so we sit outside.\u00a0 When they came over to cook, they obviously had to come inside our nice house, and use our nice bowls, and spoons, and stove, and oven (they cook over fire).\u00a0 I felt a little weird because they don\u2019t have anything nice\u2026but it\u2019s something I have to get over.<\/p>\n

I chose to teach them how to make a coconut cake (coconuts are in abundance here!)\u00a0 We had so much fun!!\u00a0 I would tell them a step in the recipe, and they would watch me do part of it, and then I\u2019d make them do it.\u00a0 Then, I would have them tell me what they are doing in Tok Pisin, while I record them (so I can study the language!)\u00a0 One funny thing to mention was I told them to put a cup of sugar and gave her a measuring cup (which they don\u2019t have!)\u00a0 She filled it half full and asked if that was good.\u00a0 I thought, \u201cno way!\u00a0 You gotta fill that bad boy all the way up!\u201d\u00a0 But how would she know?!\u00a0 The cake turned out delicious!\u00a0 We baked 3 circle cakes and ate one.\u00a0 Then we sent the other 2 with her (so she could sell in the market).\u00a0 She told us that she wouldn\u2019t be selling them, she was too greedy!\u00a0 Relationships are forming for sure!!\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
