Goodbye 2020

I have not made a post in a long time. But today is New Years Eve and it is about time I started again. I believe my inspiration came when I picked up my skis from being tuned. I redid my schedule for next week so I can get to the mountain. Outside, staying out of the lodge, six-foot spacing, I figure I can keep as Covid-19 free as anywhere. I will plan to write again during my first ski day.

But, tonight is New Years Eve and Tina and I are looking forward to a fun and very special evening. Looking back at my posts I note that I had not mentioned our guest, Eunice. Eunice is a boarding student at Miss Porter’s School. She is here from Kenya for her junior year at MPS. Eunice was first with us last year for her Christmas break. Due to Covid-19 she has been with us this year since Thanksgiving. (MPS has shut down the campus and is doing remote classes like many other schools). Tonight she and two of her friends, fellow boarding school students from Kenya, are making us a traditional dinner.

Salma is at the Buffalo Seminary in Buffalo, New York, Mollet is at the Brooks School in North Andover, MA and, as I mentioned, Eunice is at Miss Porter’s School here in Connecticut. They are all staying in the Farmington area during the Christmas break.

Cooking in the African style is not easy.
