This is the Aboubakar family. They are a Sudanese family living in a refugee camp in Chad.
Mommy found this great book called What the World Eats at our local library. It talks about all the different kinds of food people from around the world eat every day.
This book also talks about what it is like for the Aboubakar’s to live in a refugee camp. It even has a recipe for something called Aiysh. It’s a congealed porridge that is a big part of their diet. Mommy and daddy found the ingredients for Aiysh at the grocery store and we’re going to make it this weekend. I’m very excited to try it!
I’ll be telling you more about the Aboubakar family and life in a refugee camp. We’ll even share the recipe so you can try it at home. So stay tuned!

Was it good? Or haven’t you tried it yet?

How was it?

We still haven’t had a chance to do it. Another reason for the delay is that we’re having trouble with our digital camera and we wanted to document the experience with a video.
We will do it soon though!
But I suspect it will taste every bit as good as “congealed porridge” sounds. 😆

We still haven’t tried the recipe yet, but we’ll try it soon. And I’ll tell you what I think about it!
