Turning 28 in Tanzania



The only way to properly celebrate one’s birthday in Moshi is by playing poker at a speakeasy and eating soul food. We’re celebrating my birthday tomorrow instead of today, since that’s the group’s regular poker night. I kept backing out in previous weeks due to other obligations, but figure I’ve got no good excuse not to play on my birthday. Olaf, the German with the winning streak, will be absent so I will have to wait until sometime next month to take him down.


The menu for tomorrow’s affair is as follows:
1st course: Salted tomatoes & fried okra
2nd course: Macaroni & Cheese
3rd course: Fried hot dogs on white bread with mayonnaise

Accompanying libations will include Coca-Cola & Fanta Orange.

  1. Combine the Coca-Cola & Fanta Orange (a little over half on the cola) for a great drink! In Germany, they market it as Mezzo Mix.

  2. Your birthday definitely sounds better than mine. Mine was absolutely dull but then again, I guess 29 is a boring year.
