I guess its funny now that the episode is over. I have to agree though with the other Kenyans, it must have been the greens rather than the ugali. We look forward to having you in church this Sunday and I'm hoping that in the coming weeks you will share with the church the wonderful things that the Lord has done back home. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus and for allowing the world into your life and your family's life. Also thank you for giving such a positive account of our country. May you be richly blessed. Dr Paul,

This shows a true calling to serving the kingdom by all missionaries living in Kenya. I tried keeping up with your blogs, and this episode of oh golly is hillarious from your descripition. As some in the blog have commented, it is true, the sukumawiki (Kale) or whatever greens they served could have made you uncomfortable. Let one of the Kenyan's here in the US fix you some ugali and compare now that you know the remedy. God bless you all.

About our culinary delight- 'Oh golly'- i must agree with Shiku about the grade of the corn you ate. I too cannot stand it but the older folk prefer that to the super refined ones the younger people prefer( that probably explains their good health). Anyway being a chef at one of the local 5 star hotels i must ask you to try it in one of this establishments on their buffet menus- African buffet. Try it with nyama choma and 'kachumbari' a local vegetable salad.Or with chicken stew its fantastic. on its own its tasteless as it is never seasoned. Hope you will like it next time. God bless you and your entire family. Dr. Paul,

I feel your pain, I must I admit I was laughing so hard my stomach was hurting. I am praying for you and the family I know first hand what you guys are experiencing and the blessing you guys are delivering and receiving while you are there in Kenya. I read the book "Miracle at Tenwek" what a blessing to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Ernie Steury. I cannot wait to read more from you and the family. God Bless and see you guys soon!

Ugali is my delicacy. I would rather have ughali to boiled rice. We say it keeps the stomach full for ours whereas rice will disappear before the evening meal is served. Avoid the sukuma-wiki greens next time as they tend to be acidic to the stomach and can develop the nuclear 'war' you experienced in your tummy. mbato ‘Pole’ (pronounced pol- e) Paul for the experience.

Probably your immune system was not strong enough due to overwork. Ugali is liked by people especially who live in western Kenya. I guess that Ugali was a special traditional one. My husband who is a Kenyan visited Japan (that’s where we met) long time ago and he was given ‘’Sushi’’ for dinner on first day. I was told if I have a chance to go to western side of this country I should try the traditional one which is so sticky.... and use different type of maize flour..... It may give us heartburn if one is not used to eat. Normal (?) Ugali is so delicious! I recommend Ugali with Nyama choma (Swahili word; meaning roast beef)! from japanese who loves ugali Dear Paul,
