The most recent four, top to bottom.
Norlita and her kitten Michi...actually every little kitten is called Michi which means small.
Making yogurt with one of my host families, Favie and Diana are my assistants. This particular batch was made with the heat from the fire. It turned out so creamy and smooth. We enjoy adding cinnamon, sugar, pears, or guava jam. We have also made lots of banana bread, biscuits, and regular bread. It brought a smile to my face when I came by for a visit, I have switched families, and they offered me fresh banana bread they had made themselves! To thank them for hosting me I made them lunch. Ham and cheese pananis, fresh vegetable salad, and oven french fries. They love Ketchup and mustard as much as I do! The whole lunch was a huge hit.
As much as I love my site, I still enjoying getting out every now and again. This time I made a stop to visit Amelia, fellow Crop Extensionist PCV who lives about 3 hours from me. We enjoy cooking together and this photo is of our mexican dinner. We made flour tortillas, guacamole, and a spicy tomatoe, onion, and garlic sauce. Oh, so delicious. And yes, I have little tiny rubber bands in my hair. Lorena, former host family granddaughter, was excited to do my hair before my trip.
Amelia and I split bamboo to prepare for a fence for her garden.
