How Cool is This




You will never guess how I spent my 4th of July. In the morning I went to the US Embassy, here in Malabo, and helped the Ambassador's wife, Nelda Johnson, a Cordon Bleu trained chef, prepare hors d' oeuvers for the dignatary party that evening.




The Menu
Puff Pastry filled with Smoked Turkey, dried cranberries and onion
Smoked Salmon w/ cream cheese on toast
Sushi
Virginia baked ham in homemade rolls
Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas
Meatballs in a tomato onion sauce
Crab Puffs on a cracker
Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, first time ever to be in EG.

Greg and I attended the Embassy party that evening. We didn't get to see any fireworks but for me it was still the ultimate day.

How great Kiowan! Sounds like you are going to have lots of wonderful experiences in Malabo. Have you organized a chili cookoff yet? I bet you will before this is over. Have a great time and keep the posts up. I check most every day and enjoy reading about what's happening on the other side of the world.
