I was in the States when Starbucks started selling their Pumpkin Spice Latte for the season. After tasting one, I was determined to start experimenting with flavored simple syrups. I had heard that they were easy to make, but hadn’t ever really taken the simple syrup plunge. Now that I have, I plan on always having…
Shopping in Burundi can be a very stress-full experience. There is a way to minimize it though, just take the road to Bugarama on your way to the coffee hills and let the vegetables come to you. While it’s not an entirely relaxing experience to have twenty people shouting at your window with their produce…
The love of rhubarb must come from the WI roots. I grew up on it…yummy rhubarb and strawberry crisp…yum.
I (Ben) love it! It can be a bit intimidating, its a crush of very pushy “eager” sellers. But it’s the only place in all Burundi where you can find rhubarb. And I love rhubarb.
Gorgeous photos, as always. When I was in China I experienced a little bit of this – my husband loves to barter and we would have lots of people approaching us. I was always intimidated by it! But you seem to be handling things quite well.

Did a search for making yogurt and came across your blog. This site and your family’s story is inspiring. Tonight I will make yogurt and coldbrew coffee in your honor.
Those of you who know me know that I love anything that has to do with cooking. I am so excited today to introduce you to new friends of mine (hi, guys!) who are taking the world by storm with their cooler-than-ever-company, Yuppiechef. They have just published my photos and writing on their lovely blog…
I love Willie’s Cacao. I love it so much that it makes me want to jump up and down and run around he garden shouting, “Free Willy!” Ok, that was a bit much, but you get the picture. Chocolate in it’s raw form, from a single origin, ready to be used in a million bah-zillion…
He’s the guy with the show on BBC about buying a farm and moving his family to Venezuala(is that how you spell it). Reminded me of you guys. I hope that happens, the TV show i mean. I’m so excited bout seeing you guys:)

I made up this chai concentrate now I’ll add your syrup. All for less than $4 -which is what a 12oz cup cost. http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2011/01/step-by-step-amazing-spiced-chai-concentrate/.
