We received our sea shipment right before our first R&R!

The Saturday before we left on our first R&R vacation, we finally received our sea shipment, YAY! It had been almost 3 months since it shipped and was so worth the wait :) It was almost 50 boxes in total!

It is simply amazing how much our physical Bibles, a bottle of Sriracha, bikes, golf clubs and a cabinet of spices could mean to a young American couple living in beautiful Africa!

So to put this title simply . . . we get amazing produce here!!!!!!

I meant to post this before our trip but forgot :( Just like the cauliflower recipe that I posted earlier, I have a very similar roasted zucchini recipe. I have never bought zucchini back in the states and figured I would roast it similar to how we liked our cauliflower and broccoli. I took this out of the fridge and started to cut one into half inch slices.

After slicing one completely, I tasted it to make sure the marinade taseted okay and did not need anymore salt or pepper . . . and then . . .  I realized . . . the joke was on me!!!!!!!! It was a stinking CUCUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me the last time you bought a CUCUMBER this BIG!!!!!!! I literally laughed out loud at myself as I looked at the CUCUMBER marinating in the zucchini recipe!! So what do you do when your "zucchini" plays Halloween and is a cucumber?!?!? Well I cooked it just the same . . . hehehehe! He was not getting out of that oven roast, bahahaha! It was actually really good! 

I figured the best way to show the McElroy family how big this thing was would be to compare it to a Cuisine Magazine :)

And this is a local Malabo grown avocado that I got today in the food drop.

AMAZING and so creamy!

And here is an avocado tree we found at the Sofitel Malabo Sipopo Le Golf, golf course we go to on the weekends.
