Sippin' home brew

Last week we traveled to Soroti in Eastern Uganda for some more training. Our friend, and regional editor, Kenneth Oluka, invited us to his family's home property, where they had prepared a feast for us - including the local beer made from millet. We sipped the beer through long straws from a pot. Bill, obviously, really liked it, beer drinker that he is. I thought it was okay, but I really liked the fact that everyone was sitting around positively obsessed with watching us drink it. They could hardly contain themselves! We like providing entertainment for the Ugandans ...

There are many more pictures of our trip on Picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/morrow.ristow/SorotiTrip# Highlights include me grinding millet for flour, not my first skill. But good to know, just in case I run out of flour at home. Of course, I'd have to find a smooth stone, and long piece of wood. I'm sure there are some things like that close at hand on Queen Anne Hill, just like on the Soroti compound.

Love the pictures! I don't know what is more shocking; seeing mom drink beer, or make flour...
Bill do you think we could get them to tap that beer at the Hilltop Ale House?
