my friends elyse and jason came to town to spend the day with me for my birthday. we enjoyed fantastic fried rice, and when a man who was greeting us learned it was my birthday, he sang to me. it went: WE WISH YOU A um, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
merry christmas, happy birthday, same difference.
we came home and made peanut butter chocolate MILKSHAKES. (can you believe it? i still cannot.)
then we went back to town, where i had my first fufu. fufu is the most common dish served in ghana, and somehow i lived here three months without ever trying it. so for my birthday, that's what we did.
i realized once we finished it that we should have put my birthday candle in the fufu so i could have blown it out, but it was too late.
it was, overall, a simple yet splendid day.
many thanks for all the packages! i had four wonderful packages to open for my birthday, full of chocolate and cheese and stickers for my kids.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! Sounds and looks like you celebrated in style. Is the fufu spicy? You are a beautiful young woman and the pearls are a nice birthday touch! Happy celebration! Elyse's Mom
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES! I cannot believe it. How did you arrange such a delicacy? I'm so glad you had friends around on your birthday!! You didn't say, but how was the fufu?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! :-) BabyJ says happy birthday too. Glad it was a special day!
ReplyDeleteYay! What is fufu? Sounds exotic! Where are Alyse and Jason stationed? Did they have to come far?
