In Zimbabwe we eat ugali too as a staple but we call it sadza in Shona. Most southern Africans eat it too but we cook it a little softer and not so thick. It’s known as pap by most southerners. Your village is just gorgeous 😍

Jael, this has got to be one of my favorite videos from you! Oh, gal, those evening sights, sounds, and smells in the tropical African rural area, what can I say! And you sounded so poetic, have you ever considered publishing some prose or poetry? We made our Ugali like you do yours but sometimes, just to give it a different taste and flavor, we made it ahead of time and then wrapped it in banana leaves and steamed it in a saucepan on the Jiko. And for our Tilapia, we either had it fresh in a stew like the one you made (fish fresh, not fried before stewing), or we had it smoked and then added it to a peanut sauce. Too delish! Question: 1. You milk your cows twice a day: if they produce more milk than you can use in your household, what do you do with the extra, do you sell it? 2. It is a hot dry season over there; if you run out of water in that water tank, what do you do for domestic water needs? Thanks for a great video. I love the variation in your content.

@jaelofthevillage

Thank you so much. We don't sell the extra milk. I use it to make ghee,cheese, cream and other milk products. We have a well that never dries up. It helps other villagers, too, in the dry seasons.

Hi there, I am enjoying your episodes. I have not experienced a village life, although I was born there. My father worked for the government. So my mum, my older sister and I (was 2 yrs old) left the village to go to the capital city to join father. That was almost 5 decades ago. But the good thing was we always went back to the village when my father was on his recreation leave (after 2 years). I really enjoyed those times. Now I am almost retiring and am planning to settle back in the village. I follow your site because it has helped me so much on my preparation and settlement in a new environment and how to adapt to the village life and the people. Warm regards.
