Welcome to Africa ... Here's a Taco!

Ironically, our first meal together at our new home in Africa was Tacos! Susan made hers with Textured Vegetable Protein and picked up some mince (SA for ground beef) for mine. After eating 3 meals of airline food, they were indescribably delicious. Fortunately, there is a gourmet grocery store within walking distance of our new place in Sandton. (Think Whole Foods quality at Food Lion prices). With the exchange rate here (currently ZA 7,14 = $1) food, wine and beer are very cheap. Some foods that we are used to eating in America are hard to find, though. We bought some "Parmesan" cheese for our pasta and it tasted disgustingly like grated blue cheese. Gross!
