In Uganda I sometimes occupied myself by learning to make foods that I couldn't find in the store. Pitas, hummus and tortillas were some of my favorites. I always wanted to try tofu but couldn't find the salt that you need in order to make it curdle. Here, my main problem is not having the right cooking implements. [Actually, right now we have no cooking implements because my roommate just moved out!] Although I can find yogurt here, I'd been told that it's the perfect climate to make yogurt on the counter, so I thought I'd try my hand.

Voila! My first batch of home-made yogurt. Slightly more sour that I'd like, but not bad for a first attempt!
