The time of prayer, thanksgiving, short testimonials, gift giving all went well. The women tried to teach Abby and me a Zulu dance (that didn't go so well). Lots of laughing by all!
Then came the food . . . .
Most of the time when we have a braai it has more of an Africaans flavor. This was my first time hosting a braai with all Zulu women.
First- I had bought a bunch of rolls to put the boerewors in (standard at all the braais I've been to)- NOT ONE SINGLE lady took a roll.
Second- I put out forks and knives for the meal. Thuli looked at me and said, "Oh, I guess we eat with a fork instead of a spoon" (said in a very disappointed voice). All the ladies laughed at this. I instantly thought back to all the Zulu celebrations I've been at and YES, I was only given a spoon :)
Third- nobody used the tomato sauce- I was told this ruins the meat!
It was still a wonderful day, I'll tuck away the experience and try to do better next time :)

Hi Heather! My name is Nikki. I had the pleasure of meeting you and two of your daughters at the pediatrician's office today! Thank you and your daughters again for the fun conversation. I look forward to following your family's journey through your website and blog :)
(Barrack is fine, by the way. Just a cough that a few breathing treatments should clear up!)
