Not much else to report on here in Abuja. Work has been slightly inane, and that's an understatement. I've never been more excited to go back to the States for SAS training. O_o Will be in Atlanta for most of the time, with a quick trip back home to pick up more home-cooked deliciousness to last me the rest of the fellowship here. Thanks to the kitchen of Mom and Dad, I've been eating pretty nicely here, since we vacuum-sealed all the food. I did actually cook tonight though, and I was quite proud of what I made (although half of the food on the plate is from home, haha). And my rice was perfect tonight! Third time's the charm :) (YES, it is hard to cook rice without a rice cooker) Here is proof of what I cooked tonight:
Tofu (that wrinkly thing on the right) and char-siu pork was from home, but I made the stir-fry bok choi with dashi and corn-egg-tomato dish thingy...
It's getting way hot here... Harmattan is almost over... soon it will be rainy season again. I would like to bypass all of that and just go back to Harmattan without any dust allergies... but... no dice. Instead, I will just console myself with this incredibly cute piglet picture. Someone please buy one for me as a pet. I will love you forever if you do.
EDIT/UPDATE: Was able to get my visa stamp extended, came back from the Nigerian Immigration Office in one whole piece, and the entire process only took 1 hour. Amazing! It's not even that fast in the States! Funny thing was, the guy who processed our visas was the same guy as last time, and he totally remembered me... guess that's what happens when you make a fuss about being American and not Chinese. :P
