It's been over 2 years since I've been present here on betumiblog. Amazing things have happened in that time.
My husband husband retired from Penn State in 2025, we sold our State College, Pennsylvania house, have spent time in Ghana, China, Brazil, and now landed in Kigali, Rwanda for the past several months where husband Kwadwo is teaching at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, and, among other things, I am working on my next book. People here have been wonderful. When a restaurant found out we were celebrating our 53rd wedding anniversary they surprised us with a wonderful gift.
A note of profound sadness, though. My wonderful collaborator on The Ghana Cookbook, Barbara Baeta, died late last year. Kwadwo and I and our 2 adopted sons, Sam and Ernest, had Christmas dinner at her house. I was recently in Ghana to attend her funeral. Truly, a bright light has been extinguised, though her legacy will never be erased.
Stay tuned for more updates! I'm back. Fran
