So last Saturday a few of us decided, hey, it's Saturday night, let's do something fun. So, since the whole town was shut down for the Genocide commemoration week, we decided to go to a hotel, buy some beers and a bottle of J&B Whiskey and drink at our house. In the back of our house is a big charcoal pit where all the food is prepared. So we sipped on our beers, and filled our mugs up with whiskey and sat around the charcoal pit waiting for our oil to get hot. We thought it would be a great activity to fry up some home made french fries to compliment our slight alcohol buzz. We were all reminiscing how easy it was to get late night food back home, just stumble up to any place open, tell them you want french fries, hand them your money, and two minutes later, hot fries. This is not the case in Rwanda. We first started by getting the potatoes out of the dirt and washing them. Then we had to bleach them for 45 minutes followed by peeling. Next we cut them into small wedges, and finally dropped them into our frying pan of hot oil. This pretty much took all night, but damn those french fries were good! So we have all decided that beer whiskey and some hot french fries is basically the best Saturday night we're going to get!
