…for power outages. It’s been really bad lately. Saturday we had power from 4:20 am – 6:25 am. Doing laundry at 4:30 am isn’t really all that much fun, but we’ve been dealing with it pretty well. Matt’s been traveling lately (most recently Beijing and Hong Kong), so of course his first day back we have power – I’ll take it though. Luckily, when we bought our oven 6 years ago, someone was smart enough to tell us to get a gas stove so it’s not impacted by power issues. Some of our other friends weren’t so lucky. We took full advantage of it this past week.
Then later in the week we really got into the Christmas spirit by making cookies.
Just one more week of school and then a 3 1/2 week break when we’ll meet up with Webb and Jeff at Loisaba Conservancy just after Christmas. We’re so excited! The LA Times just published a great article about it and TNC’s work there: here. We can’t wait to go back.

Before she left for Zanzibar Chris did a kids’ cooking class for us. They made veggie spring rolls, chicken and biscuits, and pain au chocolat (nutella and peanut butter and banana because, ya know, kids). I didn’t have to do anything except show up to eat it. Thanks, Chris!

Christmas season, Tanzania-style.
