::ohmyword, the FOOOOOOD::

So, a question I've gotten a lot...[picture the person with a slight questioning look, head tilted slightly to the side, maybe a nice grimace...] So how was the food?

My response:  Ohmywordthefoodissoooogooooood.  <<<--------- said that fast.

How in the world can you beat vegetables picked straight from the garden that day, every day of the year?!!  Fresh, antibiotic, hormone-free meat.  No preservatives.  Just lots and lots of butter + cream + milk + salt. 

One afternoon, Carol and I went to the garden and picked fresh strawberries.  Then, meandered over to the lemon tree.  Yes, I said, lemon tree and casually picked a few lemons.  We then proceeded to make strawberry lemonade to accompany our dinner...or rather, our dinner was accompanying the strawberry lemonade.  If this were Twitter, the hashtag would be #sufferingfortheministryinAfrica.

On The Farm, my favorite meals were:  beef stroganoff, chicken curry, macaroni and cheese, roast lamb, roast beef, roast chicken, meat balls [mini meatloaves] .  See?!!  Like I said #sufferinginAfrica  I have no words to describe the meals I just listed.  And they were all accompanied by some sort of delicious rice/potatoes/nshima and gravy and creamy vegetables [creamed spinach was my favorite!!!!!!!!!]

At The Fig, my favorite things to eat were: meat pies [very similar to pot pies], samoosas [those from FH, they are similar to Mrs. Gentry's triangular egg rolls], chicken salad, a traditional English breakfast, milkshakes.

Basically, I need to exercise every day or I will gain weight.  The food is that good.

You should come visit someday and taste it for yourself.  :)
