Rod Calder's Birthday

Yesterday, October 30 was Rod Calder’s birthday and we were invited to join the party!
Rod and Sue live at Seven Fountains Farm and run the orphan home where more than twenty babies: Mary, Micah, Shepherd, Nancy, Elise, Mark … live. Sue is a great cook, so we never pass down her invitations! In the picture she is serving her homemade cream of cauliflower soup—wonderful!

The Calders have three of their own children and six Zambian children. I haven’t yet figured out what I can cook to serve this bunch, but it's my turn so I’d better figure it out! The farm is a great place to raise kids (and snakes, too, apparently). Just before we arrived Rod had shot a black mamba. Our timing was poor, I wouldn’t mind seeing a dead snake! There are lots of snakes on this farm because there is lots of bush.
Around the table – starting at the back in the green outfit: Aggie, Demulu, Jack, Chibbo, Stepphie. Aggie is HIV positive; some Winnipeg ladies help to sponsor Aggie so the anti-retro viral (ARV) treatments and other medicines can be purchased. Aggie needs ear surgery, so she is staying on antibiotics until that happens. If she’s lucky maybe next March!
