Josiah & Luke working on the roof of the enclosure for the cooking area.
Yesterday we finished up the cook's shelter at the boys home and that was the fun job of the trip so far. No, it won't be in Haitian Architectural Weekly, but it'll keep the cooks dry and happy when it rains! Of course I love food, and Tues. morning we spent the time trying to work around the cooks to finish the project. Hot pots, knives slicing veggies, chicken legs cooking, stuff like that. And the wonderful smell of cooking...of course the cooks took a liking to us since we were doing something for them, and they taught us Creole lessons for all the food prep and items in the meal, which was fun and entertaining for everyone I think! Fortunate for us the job carried until just before lunch time and I got the very first chicken leg out of the fry oil, and it was so tasty! The other guys each got a leg too and we went on and on about how good it was, and so they've invited us back for more next lunch! Now the cooks have a better place to work because of this shelter. It's not pretty maybe, but it sure seems to be to them, and the folks here at MDL appreciate it and so that makes it all worthwhile.
Yeah, now they can cook in the rain!
