Cooking worms with boys

We unexpectedly spent a recent evening with some boys cooking worms "meat" (aka: worms or something?) in cans on the fire where we were burning our trash.  Guess you could say they are opportunists!  And it was really their lucky day because we even 'donated' some spices to the cause.

We didn't partake in the delicacy this time... if for no other reason, because it was the most unsanitary culinary process ever...  Fetching worms from dung-invested areas.  Not washing them.  Using the lids of cans to cut the worms open and squeezing the guts and poop out with one's hands.  Not washing any of that.  And lastly, well, putting worms into our bodies.

They really got those cans boiling!  Also you can see the green leafy stuff the boys found and put in there for some extra flavor.

Patches also wanted to get in on the fun and continues to love licking the faces off of anyone who will let him...  Which wasn't exactly this particular boy, per say!

They were having a ball and making jokes and teasing each other the whole time, so a fun and funny time was had by all!

Time-out in Windhoek

Nice to enjoy some dates, food, movies, and shopping in Windhoek for the short time we are here. Peace Corps puts us up in very comfortable self-catering apartments (which allows dogs!) so we are enjoying the opportunity for rest and relaxation.

And some play time, of course.

Under the bed...
