Had an amazing lunch today with a group of young Kenyan leaders who introduced me to one of their iconic national dishes. Does anyone recognize it?

I love the solemnity of the Oath of Office, and swearing unto God to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. And obviously the impact is magnified when it’s administered by my former boss Justice Thomas, whose rich and sonorous voice could have secured a career as a voice actor in Hollywood. 🇺🇸

Few things make me happier when traveling than trying local street foods. Although I didn’t have time to hit the actual streets during my recent visit to Cairo, I found an amazing variety of local dishes at a restaurant in the new Grand Egyptian Museum. From fresh baked breads to mezze to lamb to fresh sugar cane juice, I’m a big fan of this traditional cuisine! 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇬

No trip to La Paz, Bolivia 🇧🇴 is complete without a visit to the Witches’ Market downtown, where indigenous women sell herbal remedies, amulets, and good luck charms — including animal fetuses! Was very moved that a group of young participants in an Embassy-sponsored English language program put on a show for our delegation.

The hospitality culture in Central Asia is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. In Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, where I am now, they treat every guest as a dear and honored friend, and every meal as a feast. Tables are laden with a variety of nuts, fruits, meats, and cheeses, and then they bring out at least 6-7 courses—soup, salad, meat pastries (“samsa”), chicken, fish, lamb, beef, the national dish “plov” (a sort of rice pilaf), and dessert. I would be morbidly obese if I lived here. “Oldik” 🥂to my new friends in Uzbekistan!
