Let the Cookouts begin!

We had our first (of hopefully many) cookouts last Saturday. It was gray, but it didn’t rain.

Easter was on Sunday. I drank tea with some acquaintances. It was a very pleasant day.

So happy that I saved this for Easter!


Right now, I am trying to read Ivanhoe. It is SO BORING. I’m trying to read more classics…let’s hope I can make it through this one.

Today I attempted making fajitas. In Mali, several volunteers were excellent cooks, in addition to being excellent persons. My dough for the tortillas was SO STICKY. Oh well. I think I would have fewer problems if I had measuring cups.

The dough even stuck to my cup (used as a rolling pin)


Sigh…
