Got Carbs?

We do. Lots of them. We're trying to find a balance, but easy proteins are not as readily available or affordable as they were in the States. Especially with peanut/legume allergy issues. Let me just say, I miss my almonds!

At any rate, we're eating lots of carbs. It doesn't help that our house help can take the same 1/2 dozen ingredients and do about 15 different things with them. She doesn't like it when I tell her she doesn't need to bake for us. Last Friday, she insisted that we needed a cake or something for the weekend. I said, "Naomi, we don't need a cake, really, you don't need to bake us anything."

She said, "Okay, I will just make some ice cream." So, Saturday night, we had homemade ice cream for dessert. Thank goodness the ice cream maker only holds enough for one serving each!

Cinnamon rolls for Saturday breakfast, who can pass that up?

Of course, in the interest of scurvy prevention, we're balancing those carbs with some delicious homemade orangeade.
