Life in Lib is improving. The country is rebuilding after 20 years of civil war. Thanks for the info.

everything said here sounds so delicious. this is my first christmas away from home, so i cant help but feel a bit homesick. . . but i have friends who have invited me to a christmas party tomorrow afternoon. i wish i had proper cooking skills so i could have brought something, but sadly i dont. in the morning i hope to see a bakery open so i can at least pick up a dessert to bring- some say it is rude to go to a christmas party and not bring anything.

merry christmas everyone.

Beef Sauce

Chicken Sauce
