Christabel's Swiss-imported kitchen

DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DEEEELICIOUS! ... the Sunday "lunch" Christabel Cooper prepared for us in her Swiss-imported kitchen following Fast & Testimony Meeting--the first of our new adventure. Menu included fresh tuna, salad, carrots w/"string onions for color," boiled plantain, dashine (starchy vegetable), rice, THEEE best-ever "sauce"(intended only for the tuna but which we also put over our rice) and a scoop of vanilla Blue Bunny ice cream for dessert! Words cannot express the flavor of her carrots or sauce. She had marinated the tuna in milk, then dried if with a paper towel, dipped it in flour and fried it slowly in a little oil. She told Sister Hadlock that good fish swims three times--once in water, once in milk and once in oil.

Christabel, a native-born Dominican, joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while living and working in Switzerland. She, a hard-working woman and FABULOUS cook, is Roseau Relief Society Leader. Her son Tony, a returned missionary who built her house, is the Roseau Group Leader. Christabel, her son and his family are the backbone and strength of the Church here!
