Food And Lit: Zambia

October’s Food and Lit country was Zambia. This one was a challenge, but I ended up finding a delicious okra and green bean stir fry that I happily ate for lunch all last week. This recipe will be a repeat.

I also read Scribbling The Cat by Alexandra Fuller. I had such mixed feelings about this book. It’s a non-fiction account from when Alexandra visited her parents in Zambia and met K, a troubled African soldier. Parts were poignant, parts were delightfully daffy, parts were gruesome, and other parts just went on forever. I’m not sorry I read it, but I’m not sure I’d recommend it either.

Next month we visit Mexico.
