Camping in the Kitchen
ZESCO (Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation) is introducing new power cuts this year. That means that we’ll be camping in our kitchen a lot more. We have an electric stove – but that may get a little dusty as we pull out our Coleman petrol camping stove. We’ve been cooking on it once or twice a week for the past year but wouldn’t be surprised if that increases.
Andrea has all sorts of back-up plans and recipes that she can switch over to if there’s a sudden black out. Now that she’s used to this kitchen reality, she can really function quite well and our family has an assortment of favorite ZESCO recipes. Baking is a little tricky, but if we plan accordingly, the baking can get done earlier in the day. The bread’s not hot but that’s okay.
She’s quite the lady!!
