Off the top of my head and based on the recipes I’ve published here at Chiperoni.org, I would say banana bread.

Lunch over IP on young Malawi windmill inventor:
William Kamkwamba, a 15-year-old Malawian (…) built a windmill in his rural village based on a picture he saw in a book. He used old bicycle parts, wooden poles, plastic pipes, and an old car battery for energy storage. The windmill now powers four lights and two radios […]
I tried to capture today’s awesomely red fireball of a sunset in Basel. My cameraphone snapshot doesn’t quite do it justice. But heh, that’s one moment in time captured and stored and uploaded and tagged and online.
Stumbled across this blog entry:

A nurse midwife writes about her work experience in Lilongwe - sad and heart-wrenching with glimpses of hope.
I found a Quicktime movie about her work, but I can’t view it on my Windoze machine, even though I have the required Quicktime player.
[update] The video now works but it’s on a slowish server.
Network Africa interviewed Malawi blogger Mwai Kasamale.
Found out about this via Black Looks.
