April 25
I love when this guy cooks! Not just because it's a break for me (although that is a big perk) but because he just jumps in and uses whatever he has on hand and turns it into something fun. Well, this time we had on hand some maniok (aka casava). And as all of you know, you can make laplap with maniok!! So that's what he did. And what's more... he went to our banana tree, which started out about 6 inches tall when Brett gave it to me for my birthday last year and is now about three feet tall, and used the leaves to wrap the laplap mixture in while it cooked. It's by far the closest thing to laplap I've had off -island. I know it sounds silly to say it this way, but I love that he's brave when he cooks. I don't think there is anything wrong with cooking with a recipe (which is my preferred method) but I also love that he just jumps in and tries things out. I love him all day, my laplap-makin'-man!
