LL - Seeing your photos just motivated me to carry through to my 6 PM fast. Now that I think about it .... I don't think I will be hungry after 6 PM after all.

WG, you can still make that meal with cheese while in Dakar go buy the cheese packaged in a supermarket.

Tambacounda is 8 hours by bus, think it'll still keep well? Also will I find Colby and Mozzarella?

I wouldn't trust a cheese that has been sitting for 8 hours in the Senegal heat! As an alternative, you can buy Laughing Cow that doesn't need refrigeration. It's no colby or mozzeralla, but it's yummy on fresh French bread with a little honey for b'fast.

LOL!! My husband does not like to eat out. Your experience would really send him over the edge.

I know I am picky and I am not real into trying new things, although I am doing my best to be a little more open. I did attempt to make fried plantain and yam - failed miserably but I tried, or maybe I cooked it right just didn't like it, I don't know.

Anyways, I am going to be in Senegal for over 3 weeks and I know I am going to have to cook. I am a good cook, I really am, but I don't think the things that I know how to cook well are going to be available there, maybe they will. Most of what I cook is Mexican. So my question is, what can I bring in with me? And how much? Is there a list somewhere? I remember when I was coming back from Paris I found a list of things I could bring back with me but can't seem to find one for going into Senegal. SO says he'll teach me to cook the way he likes, I just hope I can learn well enough for him. The biggest issue with cooking things he likes is that I don't eat seafood at all and can't even touch it without getting sick. I know that he likes a lot of things that have seafood in them.

You must think I am a "princess" type but I'm not, just when it comes to what goes in my mouth. I can handle no power, lack of toilet facilities, getting dirty, working hard - those are all things I can do. He jokes about having me eat a goat and I laugh along with him, but in reality NEVER could I do such a thing, I raise goats and I love them, I could not even begin to think of eating them, it'd be like eating my own child.

So, do you know what I can bring with me?
