Dinner at the farm!

Ashley has developed some really wonderful relationships while she was here in Zimba, among them with a woman who, along with her husband, owns a farm.  Mr. and Mrs. Montevance (I'm pretty sure that i just butchered the spelling!) kindly invited us to visit their home and to join them for dinner.
The farm, although simple, was beautiful throughout, and we could easily see the hard work and dedication that was required to keep everything here running smoothly.

Mrs. M proudly shows off some of her layers ( that's chicken talk)

And here's what happens to chickens who step out of line... They become part of a delicious dinner.

These cattle were impressively huge!

 

Mr & Mrs M's granddaughter Claire cooks our nshima, which is made from ground corn meal, and is part of a Zambian's daily diet.  Loved their outdoor kitchen!

Ashley gets a demo of corn grounding, a critical part of making the nshima. 

And we finally sat down to a fantasic nshima dinner... Mrs M is that kind of hostess who will NOT let your plate ever get empty!

 

Needless to say, we were stuffed. 

a perfect Zambian sunset to end a remarkable day!
