Our Relief Society meeting was great. Beforehand, Comfort came early and made a very delicious cabbage stew (without pepper) and rice. Baaba came a little later and we had a great discussion on teaching discussions, the years activities and of course Ministering Sister roster. And then Erica came and gave her two cents worth on our years activities that we were planning. She had some really great ideas and insights. She brought her husband and his friend from Nigeria. When Jeffrey came home an hour later, the men had a great scripture discussion while we were finishing up.
I invited Comfort and Baaba to have supper with all of us as I could see that the scripture discussion was going to go on for a bit. Comfort needed to get home and Baaba had eaten her supper and was on the phone with family.
I heated the left over Fried Rice that Comfort has made for my Sunday guests, Baaba had baked some plantains in the oven for us to try and I had Comfort's cabbage stew and rice to add to the table. Comfort had already made the meal at one time or another - perfect for Ghanaian guests.
Side note of vote:
When each person had come, I had given them all a sample plate of different kinds of plantain bread from plantains left on my counter that had turned black. They had a slice of plain, chocolate chip, coconut, and coconut with peanuts plantain bread. The plan was voted nice (damned with faint praise), the chocolate chip was a new and delicious taste - like a dessert, the coconut was praised by two, and the peanut and coconut was esteemed by all. So.....I would serve chocolate chip plantain bread/cake and plantain with coconut and peanuts to those who can eat peanuts.
