Today's photo challenge is "Kitchen". Mine is not too exciting and in most ways, it's similar to yours: cabinets, gas stove, fridge, sink. But let me take you next door to a kitchen of a different style. In the following photo, you can see our yellow gate and right next to it is a red gate. That is where "Grandma" lives as well as Adam and our night guard and a lot of other people as well as a dozen goats (they only come home for night) and a plethora of chickens.
And, voila, the kitchen! These women do a ton of cooking. Ramatou, the lady looking at the camera, is making a corn-based couscous to sell to passers by for breakfast. Early in the morning she sets up a table in front of our gate to serve breakfast.
A close up of the corn couscous being steamed.
Huge pots.
Hot fires.
Hard work.
Beastly high temperatures everyday.
One water spigot by the gate.
One light bulb in the entire courtyard.
No sink. No stoves. No refrigerator.
Great neighbors.
