Wednesday was a nice lazy day and it’s a good thing I rested up because Wednesday night I went with my Mom and sister to the Milwaukee production of Rent at the Skylight Theater. It was my first time seeing it live -- seen the movie 5 or 6 times. We were blown away! The whole show was incredible and the performances were Broadway caliber. Wish we had time to see it again before it closes this weekend.

Last night my parents and I went to dinner at a Nigerian restaurant. At first I was really reluctant, but my dad insisted that I give it a try. I'm so glad that I did! The food was excellent!!

Appetizer:

*Zanzi Fries - sweet yam spiced french fries

Entree:

*Waashi platter -fluffy white rice and beans served with Egusi Stew (West African melon seed (Egusi), cooked with spinach, herbs and distinct tropical ingredients, hearty with beef, turkey, chicken, and a hint of seafood.)Side of golden-fried plantains.

Dessert:

*Mindinmindin "Mindy" -apples baked in molasses, cooked with tropical liqueurs and secret spices, then served over French vanilla ice cream with bananas and cream.

My mouth is still watering.
