At the market
We knew that as we moved into the house and began cooking, we would need supplies. We brought some things with us, but certainly not everything. After our first dinner meal we realized the urgency of the matter. We just could not live on dried greens and soya meat replacement for very many days -- well actually we probably could, but certainly not happily -- and we would quickly use up all that we brought. So we must go to the market!
Our list included rice, corn meal, wheat flour, dried beans, oil, salt, and eggs if available. A friendly young man named Benjamin agreed to go with us our first time. Market shopping is women's work, so Debbie was personally very grateful for the cooperation of Jerry and Benjamin who agreed to accompany her; lugging around a 20 kg (kilogram) bag of corn meal and 10 kg sack of rice would've been a serious difficulty for her alone!
