I think this looks like an excellent matchup, and I can't wait for the results.

Such innovative ideas in turning comfort food into gourmet food.


Well, you won't have to wait long.
Competitors, ten seconds until time is up!
And, that's time!
Bring your dishes to the judges.
I have prepared for you chicken in a spicy ginger and coconut sauce with sides of kales and ugali topped with sprinkled coconu
I hope you enjoy.
The judges taste the first drink and, after having a drink, motion for the second dish.
Today, you will be enjoying X... made into finery when served with vegetable stewed with coconut milk and spices.
The judges taste the second dish and go to deliberate with one another.
It looks as if it is going to be a close competition.
Both contestants brought a great deal of talent and produced incredible dishes.
The first judge looks up.
Let's see what the judges have to say.
The judges consult one another to determine who will be the winner.
It was an incredibly close match, but we have decided that the first contestant has brought forth incredible talent.
But, it is the second contestant whose dish demonstrates refined and intellectual tastes.
Congratulations contestant number two, you are the winner!
Let's clap for our cooks today!
And, to the first cook, remember, as the Swahili people say, "One who doesn't want to lose is not a competitor."
Love is an amazing thing, it is the wonder of the Lord.
It does not need a cause, that cause is dignity.
It pours itself completely, like the waters of the shore.
People will wonder, "What thing found you?"
It does not need gold nor many bodily ornaments or a lot of manners, the manners or ancient times.
Alas, miserable love, her troubles you do not see until you are close, closer to lover's love.
When love strikes you, it strikes you in the heart.
You transform into a penis with a lot of anxiety.
You roar like a bear, a bear which has no home.
Without your darling, you are certainly in trouble.
Love is like a grape, a grape ripe on the vine.
Even if it is lacking , you will follow it with vexation.
She converses with a mute, who knows her undoubtedly.
Nor does it have old age, the youth of long ago!
Love is not a tenet of thoughts or religion.
Love is not an etiquette, it is neither a charm nor of value.
Love is not hierarchical, its rank is priceless.
Love conquers, that hailed wonder!
She does not have caution, love is a cursed person!
Love is feigning, a spirit in the hand!
Love is a steamship without a captain inside, or a stubborn donkey, danger with no equal!
Love has no answer, love is not a test!
Love is not a book for studying in the classroom.
Love has no rule to be similar on Earth.
My nib has wearied, I will put the pen down.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2010 political forum.
We hope this will be an opportunity for the leaders of our "Grand Coalition," President X... and Prime Minister Y..., to explain t
I don't know why I bothered coming.
These politicians never say anything new.
Oh, I cannot wait!
That X..., he is so handsome.
Too bad I could only vote for him 3 times in the last election.
Bah, Y... is my man.
Besides, a new government means new jobs, or at least old jobs for new people.
Maybe then I can move out of my grandmother's place...
Well, maybe if you went to school more...
Not that it matters, but the commentators are speaking.
We are here today because the people are worried that there is much disagreement between the country's two leaders - Prim
I think my friend is especially referring to the recent news that Prime Minister Y... tried to suspend two government ministers
We are having this press conference so that the President and the Prime Minister can explain their positions, and the people o
President X... will start.
I just want to go home to mark my students' exams.
Both of these leaders keep saying the same thing; they fight for no reason at all.
Corruption is bad for our country Z...
But, that is not the issue here.
These political games are an attempt to undermine my government.
The President is the most important leader in Z...
He knows what the people want.
This is the way it has always been done and how it should be done in the future.
The Prime Minister cannot fire anyone without my permission.
X...! X...! X...! You are so smart and handsome!
I am so embarrassed.
My students act like animals.
While that is a valid point, the Prime Minister does play an important part in the coalition government.
Prime Minister Y..., what do you have to say?
The president talks about how corruption is bad for Z..., but he does nothing.
We all know that the Prime Minister is the most in touch with the ordinary people.
Is it my fault that the ministers who were corrupt also happened to be my political rivals.
I did what was best for Y... ... I mean Z...!
Y...! Y...! Y...! You are so powerful and smart!
Here we go again.
Isn't that exactly what X... said.
Thank you President and Prime Minister.
Well there you have it, it seems like both of these gentlemen are committed to fighting corruption...with more corruption.
Mr. President and Prime Minister, perhaps you can speak on your policies concerning education.
Yes, of course!
I think students should learn to read and write.
Everyone should have the opportunity to go to school.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Prime Minister, how would you respond?
With all due respect, President, I believe there are several issues you are overlooking.
Students should have the opportunity to read books and practice their knowledge.
Oh dear, I am probably the most qualified one to be talking about education here.
Well, those opinions don't seem too different after all.
True, perhaps this disagreement really is pointless.
Who knows if this debate will ever be settled.
It is true that I am hard of hearing, but is there no fight?
Did both commentators just agree that this debate is futile?
Aww, I was really hoping for a presidential brawl.
My teacher was right -- these politicians never say anything new!
And so, I look forward to many years of service as your president and leader.
Me too.
But, I can share in the work at home.
You will do as I say!
I beg you, Father, I cannot be married now.
The following day, X... ran away!
There was no one who knew where she went.
Her family looked for her, but they could not find her.
After five years, X... returned and told her family that she was in Dar es Salaam.
X... changed her name to Y...
So, when she returned home, X... had changed a lot.
Many people did not recognize her.
Her parents were very happy to see her!
Many people thought that X... would stay, but she knew she would leave.
Here, she speaks with her friend Z...
Z..., now you have become a true man!
X..., is that you?
How are you?
How have the years been?
We are going through the years, continuing life.
But, you have changed very much.
Now, you speak Swahili.
Yes, because all the people in the city speak Kiswahili.
Do you like life in the city?
Visiting hours are between 3pm and 5pm.
You both can return later.
I am becoming poor.
I should have gone to Dar es Salaam during the harvest time because I would be able to sell my products and get money.
What part are you from?
I am from a village.
One of my friends from my village lives in the city, but she didn't arrive to receive me at the train station.
What will you do?
I don't know what I will do.
The fee of the place where I am living is 25 and now I don't have any money.
I need work.
Can you help me?
You have helped us a lot.
I can give you work in my house, but the exact answer will be given when Baba X... returns.
Also, youth of teh city think housework is shameful.
That is just blindness, mama.
Work is work if it feeds you and preserves you.
Every day, Z... worked hard for Mama X...
He lived well with the family.
The work paid little, but he was able to buy clothes, send his parents a little money, and put some in the bank.
Many months passed.
Z... made new friends who lived in the city.
Z..., why do you continue to work for Mama X...?
X... and Y..., two enterprising students from Harvard, have been studying in Ghana for four months at the university of Ghana
They take a taxi cab to Legon and witness for the first time some of the corrupt practices within the rank and file of the Ghana
Sure, I don't have any problem.
Go ahead and have a look, but, officers, please be fast because my passengers are students from America and are rushing to g
They are already late.
The policeman circles around the car inspecting it.
Well, it depends on you.
You can go right now or it could take hours.
What is wrong?
What is he saying?
But, officer, I just started work.
These are my second and third passengers, so I don't have anything on me yet.
The policeman comes back after inspection.
Look, your windshield is too dirty.
It is dangerous to drive like this.
Instead of you doing something, you tell me you just started work.
I also haven't been on the road for long.
You are my second driver.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
The driver gets out, tries to smile, and pulls some money from her purse.
Two for the two of us?
You are not serious.
The windshield offense alone is 20, and now look at your lights.
They are not bright enough.
Fine, I'll add one.
No, add three more.
Alright, take this and let me leave.
The police officer collects the money and drives away.
What happened?
We are already late to class!
I am sorry!
He was not going to let me go until I added 3 more.
This is the plight of drivers here.
When a ploceman stops you, if you don't want to be delayed, you have to pay.
Otherwise, they can waste your time unnecessarily.
I am going to drive as fast as possible.
That is not right.
So, they collect money whether they find fault or not.
Wow! That is ridiculous!
There is barely any dirt on the windshield.
Listen, the police here are corrupt, and, probably, it's because they are underpaid, so they find other ways of making money.
That's unfair.
Fairness is often scarce in this part of the world.
Go to X...
You'll have to take the car rapide.
Do you know where to get the car rapide?
Yes, I know where.
I'm getting ready to go.
See you later, God willing.
Be careful on the way.
Hey White girl, where are you going?
I'm going to X... Market.
Are you full?
No, it's not full.
Hurry up!
Hey, driver, step on the breaks!
Don't rush me!
Wake up, let's go!
Take your foot of the break!
You're disrespectful.
This is my car rapide.
You are not my equal.
Only shoes have equals.
Careful!
He's been driving like that since X...
I don't know if he's drunk or if he's crazy.
You talk to much.
Hold on to the handrail.
Where's the seatbelt.
In Senegal, there are no seatbelts.
Hold on to the handrail instead.
Hey, you speak good Wolof!
Where are you from?
I'm from America.
I live in Boston.
I didn't know any Senagalese people in Boston before I came to Senegal.
That's strange, he's been in America for a long time.
When you go back to Boston, ask someone where to find him, you'll see him.
I'll do that God willing.
Why are all these animals harassing me?
Ah, I'm tired.
I'm going to sleep here.
Please, just leave me alone!
What have I done to you?
You stink up our forest.
Your face pains my eyes.
Your voice pains my ears.
God must have been drunk when He made you!
I am going to see the diviner!
Please, Baba, all of the animals are harassing me.
What can I do to be respected?
X... syas that you should sacrifice one calabash of water, ashes, and the X... leaf.
You should put the ashes and the leaf in the water and drink it.
After that, you should pee around your body before you go to sleep.
Lion did what the diviner told him.
While he was sleeping, the other animals came over to harass him.
See this filthy, good-for-nothing lion.
He smells even worse than before.
Let's jump on him again so he leaves this forest again.
Hey you, dirty animal!
When the animals crossed the circle of urine, they fell down dead.
No one will jump on me again!
I am the king of the forest!
Do you understand this, X...?
I'm the lion?
I should pee around my bed before I go to sleep?
I don't think my wife will like this.
You are right, you are the lion, but you should offer a sacrifice like the lion did.
If you sacrifice, you will become an important person like the lion.
Do you understand me?
Yes, Baba, thank you very much!
I will find another man with a lot of money.
You will be jealous of me.
I will laugh at you.
After that, forget about me!
Keep up the good work.
I say yes.
I like the way you beat your drums.
Your poem is not good at all.
If you want money, Gucci, and a Benz, go get a job.
I say no.
I wear the number 10 jersey.
I defeat people in NY and LA.
Mikel John Obi is my friend.
I play soccer like Tonda Balogun.
Look at me, I juggle the ball so well.
Soccer is the coolest sport.
Yo, I think you play well, but this is not a soccer field.
I disagree, I didn't enjoy your performance.
I don't like soccer, but I like golf.
Who do you think you are?
This contest is a singing contest.
I would like to sing one song.
Little children sing it when it's raining.
Rain is falling.
Stay inside your house.
Don't go out in the rain or it will destroy your clothes.
Don't go out in the cold or you'll get a cold.
You sing well.
I would like to hear you sing more.
You have a lot of talent.
I agree.
How old are you?
I'm 10.
That was amazing.
You are the next Nigerian Idol.
I love X... very much as well.
I have an important job and I want to advance in it.
When we get married, you will want many kids and I won't be able to work anymore.
X..., do you want children after you guys get married?
No, I never said that.
I want you.
But, your mother told me that you want lots of children!
Did you hear me?
I said I want you.
Yes, but once we're married, you'll want more.
You'll want kids.
Eventually.
Can you promise me we'll wait a few years before we have kids?
I really want to succeed in my career.
Of course, but you know my career pays very well.
You won't have to work.
But, I want to.
You don't have to.
Uh-oh, looks like we have a problem.
Y..., what do you do?
I'm a doctor.
And, do you like your job?
Yes, I love it.
So, your job makes you very happy.
X..., why don't you want your wife to work?
I'm a lawyer.
I have a lot of money.
She can stay at home.
A mother and daughter are at a department store shopping for school clothes.
A sale's merchant is pushy and comically tries to sell them two items that they do not need.
They become frustrated and leave the stores.
How much for the hat?
It costs 7.
No! We are here to buy a skirt and tie.
Do you sell skirts?
Yes, I have many skirts.
I have green skirts, yellow skirts, and black skirts.
They're cheap.
How much for the skirt?
It's 14.
Seriously, no way.
What is the problem, are you confused or are you crazy!
Don't be upset Ma'am.
I apologize, but they are beautiful indeed and they only cost 10.
Thank you sir!
But, why are your clothes so cheap?
It is amazing what you can find on the streets at night.
X..., come here.
There is no way we can buy clothes from here, they are thieves.
Come back, come back, I am joking!
Once upon a time, there lived a great king of the jungle called Simba.
Unlike most lions, though, Simba was not born into the royal family.
Simba was just a simple lion who had a lot of courage.
Unfortunately, the king of his jungle, Leo, was very cruel and wicked.
He would eat his subjects if they annoyed him and hyenas helped terrorize the animals to give him everything that he wanted
Dear brothers and sisters, this ruler is terrible, he is killing us!
He is taking our food.
We cannot live like this any longer!
We must fight him.
After speaking to his people, Simba fought the terrible ruler and became king.
Many people rejoiced!
He was kind to his subjects and even became vegetarian.
Dear Simba, great king, we are very grateful for you having saved us.
You are our king and we are happy.
One day, a malaria mosquito bit Simba and he became mad.
He started eating his subjects and, like Leo, became wicked.
One day, Simba caught a hare and was ready to eat it him.
Ha ha, now I will eat you hare!
Please don't eat me!
I will do anything you want, I promise!
How about the black mamba?
Can the black mamba kill you?
Yes, the black mamba is very dangerous, but no one can kill the black mamba.
If you let me go, I will bring the black mamba for you to kill.
He will be tied up so you can kill him, and everyone will see that you are the king of the jungle.
Fine, I will do that.
But, if you lie to me, I will come and eat you and your whole family.
Bring the mamba to me tomorrow, do you hear me!
That will be interesting.
What do you think is the population of Ethiopia?
We are not sure.
Ethiopia has 80 million people.
Do you know how many languages are spoken in Ethiopia?
Yes, it is more than seventy.
Yes, she is right.
Does anyone know about emperor Haileselassie?
He is also called Ras Tefferi.
Yes, he was a very famous king of Ethiopia.
The Rastas love him very much.
Yes they do.
I like the Rastas.
Who knows about Abebe Bikila?
He was a famous athlete.
Yes, he was the first Black African to win the Rome and Tokyo Olympic Marathons.
Does anyone know about this Ethipoian costume dress?
Oh yes, it is decorated with silver.
I love it.
Let us introduce you to Ethiopian food.
This is delicious.
Oh yes it is.
Where can we find it?
Addis Red Sea Ethiopian Restaurant.
Thank you.
It was wonderful to meet you.
X... is visiting Mali in West Africa.
He decided to buy some of the beautiful West African mangoes off the street.
When he asked for the price of the mangoes, the seller did not respond.
That is when the seller told him that she deserves a greeting first.
Then he agreed to greet and asked for forgiveness because not greeting in the mantle culture is considered an offense and im
Finally, X... greeted and asked again for the price of the mangoes.
This time, he was told the price of the mangoes.
To show that he was even a little interested in interacting with people, he bargains for the price of the fruits and gets them at
How much are the mangoes.
Owner of the mangoes, can't you speak?
Did you greet me?
I am not a dog.
Sorry!
No problem.
Good evening.
How is your family?
Fine, thanks.
How is the place where you left?
It has no problem.
The mangoes are two dollars.
That is too much.
It is not too much.
Make it three for five dollars.
Okay, pay that.
Here is the money.
See you another time.
Send my greetings.
I will send it.
Okay, okay, 150000 kwacha.
No, I will not pay that much.
Come on.
This is good stuff.
Okay, I'll bargain with you.
This lion and the flag of Malawi for 160000 kwacha.
No, I do not want the flag of Malawi.
I only have 80000 kwacha.
You are trying to rob me.
I am not ripping you off!
Flag and lion for 80000 kwacha and your shoes.
My shoes?
No, I need my shoes to get back home.
How about three tubes of hand sanitizer and 80000 kwacha.
Okay, I can do that.
Here.
By the way, do you know how to get to Area 47.
Yes, I used to live there.
Walk that way, turn right, go straight, until you see the gas station, and then you will see it.
Do you know of any landmarks near it.
I think it is near a church.
Okay, great.
Thank you for your help.
Have a good day.
See you.
This is the story of a young college student who lives a double life because he isunwilling to share his secret.
I wasn't able to buy meat today because it was too expensive.
So, I made potatoes and corn for us.
Thanks, Mom.
But, I'm tired of living under a tent like a poor person.
None of my friends know what state we live in now.
Who cares what your friends think?
At least we're alive.
Oh! My friends, I never thought that X... was living in this condition.
Like the proverb, says "A round behind does not mean good health."
Looks can be deceiving.
You don't scare me.
We're here, we're still here.
Bouki and Malis are two of the most famous characters in Haitian folklore, with stories of the duo dating back to the 1800s.
Bouki symbolizes the peasant, the "new slaves" that just came from West Africa to Haiti, while Malis represents a slave who w
Though they play many roles -- uncles and nephews, siblings, or friends -- one thing remains the same: Bouki and Malis are op
Here is a modern day adaptation of Bouki and Malis story.
Bouki searches for a girlfriend.
X...is very angry, she pours a cup of water on Bouki.
Bouki does not know what is happening and shrugs his shoulders at Y... innocently.
X... returns to sit with Y...
The man has no shame and he doesn't even realize it!
He has no shame, but you can train him to act like a civilized person.
I would never go out with this imbecile Bouki.
X... I understand you, but I don't want Bouki to be depressed, so here is $50.
Take him to a restaurant for me.
As X... and Bouki leave to go to the restaurant, Bouki says confidently to Y...,"I told you I would get X..."
Bouki smiles and X... and Y... burst out in laughter.
In that case, if I get baptized, they're going to call me Z...
I can't have that.
What kind of foolish game are they playing with people?
They tie you up, dunk you, then they change your name.
You don't understand anything.
They only want to put us on the good path.
You're suspicious.
With all that sweet talk your talking, they must be paying you.
On this path, a calabash can give you squash and small piles become big ones.
That's what they told me.
Since when?
I'm not going to get involved.
X... goes to school and learns about techniques to prevent the spread of cholera.
When she comes home, she is eager to share this knowledge with her mother.
Mom, do you know what I learned today?
What did you learn?
I learned how to prevent cholera.
What are you talking about?
Cholera is carried by the air so we just have to avoid smelly things.
Excuse me mom, but that is not true.
It's transmitted by germs in the water.
