This week I am going to cook a traditional Haitian meal. My husband has such a soft spot in his heart for the people of Haiti and all my friends from home have gone many times. I just want to try my hand at cooking from a culture completely unlike my own. I love mealtime. Gathered around the table sharing nourishment and conversation…it's bliss to me, and I can only imagine it gets better as your family grows and matures. I can't wait to research, gather recipes and ingredients, and ultimately start cooking a meal that is completely foreign to me.
I have a tendency to be drawn to the same sorts of food, over and over. I could eat french bread and Nutella everyday and be happy (maybe not healthy??) for the rest of my life. But, Husband likes a variety. He is a 4 course dinner kind of guy. So, this week especially I want to love him well through his love of Haiti and his love of exotic food. :)
This could be incredible or an incredible flop. We'll see now, won't we?
