As many of you know, spam has been interrupting our conversations for some time now. Since the BETUMI FORUM and my journal were actually forerunners of today's blogs, today (Feb. 7, 2006) it seems natural to set up a BETUMI BLOG. This should be much less complicated than the discussion board we tried earlier.

I hope you saw Lydia Polgreen's acticle in the dining out section of the NY Times (A Taste of Ghana), Wed., Feb. 1, 2006 on street food in Ghana. If not, you can register for free at NYTimes.com and search for it. Candice Feit's accompanying photos are great, too.

This is just a brief post to inaugurate the new board. Can't wait to hear from folks.
