Gabs culinary adventures

My favorite traditional food in Botswana is dumbling. It's unclear to me what the name actually implies, since they are undoubtedly dumplings. They are giant doughy bread balls that soak up plates full of sauce. Another great part about dumbling is that once you make the dough, you can steam it to make dumbling, or cook it flat and dry in a skillet to make phaphata (giant English muffins), or roll it and balls and deep fry it to make fat cakes. When I told my favorite waiter in the hospital cafeteria that I love the dumbling, he wrote out this recipe for me.
Here's the result from my first dumbling party! Great success!

Here are a few other favorites:

1) Chili bites. I bought these at the grocery when seeing the mixture in a box only cost about 20 cents. How could I pass that up? They basically tasted like falafel.
2) Carrot Cake Pancakes. Sarah's creation. The best part was the cream cheese "topping". Breakfast of champions.
3) Lime Slushies. We discovered about a month ago that our lemon tree in the front yard was actually a lime tree. No wonder the lemons were never getting ripe. We had been blaming Ryan Wells for picking all the fruit before it got ripe, but turns out he just realized they were limes before we did.

4) Digesting. Matt and Tessa's house. Not too shabby.
