Family Food & Shelter

23.	 A typical breakfast consists of:
	Some tea, cheese, and homemade bread. Nadja drinks milk 
	(dried milk mixed with water). She hasn't had fresh milk 
	for 18 months. When it is available, Arina makes coffee 
	for breakfast.

24.	A typical lunch consists of:
	We don't eat lunch and just have bread and cheese in the 
	kitchen whenever we are hungry.  

25.	 A typical dinner consists of:
	Vegetable and noodle soup, a dish made of rice, canned meat 
	and potatoes cooked in the oven, a tomato and onion salad, and 
	some homemade bread. Dinner doesn't last long, only about 15 
	minutes. 

26. 	Are you satisfied with your food?
	The humanitarian aid seems like very little. Distribution is 
	irregular, controlled by the government and corrupted by the 
	very powerful Mafia. Still, almost every month we could 
	possibly get:
	- 1 liter of oil
	- 2 kilos of meat and fish in cans
	- 1 salami
	- 1 kilo of flour
	- some p‰tŽ, beans and compote
	- 1 kilo of sugar 
	- 1 bar of soap for each person
	The cook uses this as a base to prepare the meals. He has to 
	find a lot more to please 4 stomachs for one month. Nafja uses 
	her connections with her neighbor who knows some important 
	people at the Egyptian United Nations base. She gets some rice 
	and spaghetti. Lokman contributes the vegetables he grows on 
	the balcony. Arina goes to the market to find potatoes and 
	fruits.  She buys them if they are not too expensive and when 
	they're fresh enough. Many times she comes back with 
	nothing. For example,1 kilo of potatoes could cost $10 (US). For 
	$7 (US) she gets a kilo of old apples. A kilo of meat is $32 (US). 
	Because the Bosnian dinar is not considered valuable, people 
	trade with German deutsch marks and US dollars, when they 
	possess some. Only bread is payable in dinars.
