Lost in Lesotho

Putting words to my experiences as a PCV in Lesotho and now as an RPCV living in the Midwest! Continuing the journey post PC with a new job and long distance relationship with my boyfriend that is born and raised in Lesotho and that I met as a volunteer!

About Me: I'm a quarter life Midwestern girl that worked with Preschool (ECCD) teachers in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Now as an RPCV, I'm working with a rural school district in IL as a parent involvement coordinator with families with children 0-3.

Cooking with Sejake and Jackie On Sunday, I was cooking mexican, since tortillas are expensive here store boughten.  I make them myself.  However rolling out 12 tortillas gets tiring, so thankfully Sejake is my roller outer.  It takes him about an hour to do all 12 tortillas to perfection.  I then fill the yummy tortillas with cooked red lentils (cooks down to “refried beans” adding mexican spices and chopped onion and green pepper) then I add shredded cheese, canned mexican tomatoes (so good), avocado (if I can find one cheap enough in Maseru) and plain yogurt as sour cream on top! Being close to Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, means that I can get most of the food items I need to make comfort food! Mmmmmmmm
