matapa

Ana, the girl who recently came to work for us, has turned out to be one of the neatest "surprise" blessings! She's so fun to be around and a hard worker...and so great with the kids. She made matapa the other day--a traditional Mozambican dish made out of pounded peanuts, manioc leaves, and coconut milk.
