Morning Mixture, Mocha or Millet?

This morning, I was excited to use my stove top espresso maker and add some mocha mixture to the taste.  I grabbed a plastic container, scooped out a spoonful, and gleefully added it to the mug.  I kept stirring, but the mixture didn’t seem to dissolve.  Once finished with the first cup, I boiled extra water to see if it would then.  No luck.  It still didn’t taste right.  And then I remembered that I had two plastic containers that look like this:

One is used as an additive to make a mocha, the other, to make millet porridge which is a brown grainy porridge.  They look alike, right?  But taste so different…

I used:

Instead of:

Needless to say, hopefully there won’t be any more mix ups.

Mail Call!!

Everyone enjoys a little reminder of home. If you would like to send mail, I can be reached here the first 10 weeks or so: Sandi Giver, Peace Corps Trainee P.O. Box 29348 Kampala, Uganda Once training is completed and have been sworn in as an official PC volunteer, I'll update this with the new address. Some tips: 1) Write "AIR MAIL" and/or "PAR AVION" on mail. 2) Keep packages smaller and send padded envelopes when possible. 3) Don't be overly descriptive on the customs forms. DVDs can be "educational material," and foodstuffs can be "nutritional goods." Reduce the temptation for someone to open it. 4) Mail can take at least 3 weeks to reach me, packages 1-2 months so start planning ahead :-) 5) Number all your letters so I know I've received them all. 6) It's best not to send money or valuables in mail... while in India, a girls mom sent her retainer and it was replaced with a book on computers somewhere in the line... as well as only 2 chocolate bars out of 4 sent. 7) Write your address somewhere so I can send you something in return. I'll tell you something crazy about life in Uganda...
