Who Prepares Your Meal?

My first job out of graduate school was in the history Department at Morehouse College in Atlanta. I had a great experience teaching and mentoring Morehouse Men. I maintain regular contact with former students some of which are now history professors. My department chair was a great colleague from Liberia Gus Konneh who would bring in Liberian dishes for his lunch. Some of dishes he heated up in the department’s office microwave had unusual smells even for an exotic eater like me. He married a southern African American and I often wondered who cooked the majority of the meals in their household?
