Karen and Peter Shaw organised a Gambian Evening one Saturday in July. It was probably just like the rainy season in the Gambia when eight of us sat under the Gazebo in their garden eating a lovely Gambian meal prepared by Karen. Our Gambian dress was very authentic but the raincoats over them did make us look a bit like “damp squids”.
We eventually succumbed and moved indoors because after all we had to keep the drums dry and warm didn’t we? There was no way we could miss out on that part of the evening. Karen’s friend had kindly bought us some instruments and everyone had a turn. I can honestly say we were mostly useless but it didn’t matter a bit. The company was genial and the wine flowed freely. Sorry, I know we should have stewed the tea but red and white wine tastes so much better on a rainy night in England.
Thank you Karen, we had a super night and the food was excellent. I didn’t know that peanut butter tasted so good mixed with vegetables. Where on earth did you find the recipe? Perhaps we can add it to the new WYCE Recipe book!!
