Reasons to love live-in in-laws #2

This is what I woke up to this morning:

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you: it's a clean sink! And I didn't have to lift a finger!

Lately I've defied my old Kingaroy ways and been the kind of person who *gasp* does their dishes straight after dinner.

Last night, I tried, but got told to relax.

Ahh I have an awesome shemegi!!!

Shemegi: brother-in-law

Shemegi!! Reasons to love live-in in-laws #1

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:

Saturday's Urojo Day feast :)

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 :)

Home-made urojo... I think I'm obsessed..

And they cook dinner!

Rice and mchuzi wa mbatata

Nom!!!

Asante sana bwana shemegi!!!!
