    holla!

    It would make a whole latta sense if u would ask the mothers that u're helping to do the cooking. Instead of u running around preparring the food itself.(since u're busy and all u know) Well, that's just my opinion. U've asked for help. So, here are some suggestions cwm1.gif Dried Wattle Twigs roasted with Wood Chips and Crevice-Algae Salsa Dip

     

    This is a super topper, perfect for when you or the kids want something different or fast.

     

    <b]Ingredients</b]

     

    Twigs from a wattle bush, preferably gathered some distance away from the communal latrine

     

    4 1/2 C. wood chips, hacked from the bark of a Chana tree

     

    Scrapings of red and green algae from between rocks on the crags at Kumra Basin

     

    Preparation

     

    Julienne the wattle twigs and mix well in a small gourd. Marinate the wood chips in goat urine for one hour at room temperature (52° C/135° F), uncovered, using a hair whisk to keep away camel flies and sand fleas.

     

    For the dip, chop the algae, taking care not to mix the two colors, then wring head towel into the two piles. Set aside.

     

    In a medium gourd, mix the wattle twigs and the wood chips (which should now be moist and dark-colored).

     

    Set out small decorative Red Cross soup can husks, cut in half, and sprinkle a little salsa in each.

     

    Serve.
