Recently my brother in law came to see if he would like to be our watchman at home. Enslaving your younger siblings (including cousins, extended family, in-laws, etc) appears to be a Zanzibari tradition I am yet to fully wrap my head around. But if Shemegi Aussiebarian is typical, they are worth their weight in gold.
Reason 1 to love your live-in in-laws: cooking!!!
They can teach you how to make deliciousness like this:
NB: Urojo Day isn't an official holiday, but hey, let's start a trend: every last day of May I can cook urojo in memory of the first time I learnt to cook Urojo, King of Zanzibari food :)
And they cook dinner!
Nom!!!
Asante sana bwana shemegi!!!!
