Special Meal #3

This special meal was from South Asia and included Tandori Chicken, Naan (bread), curried rice (with raisins), and cucumber salad. It really wasn't that bad of a meal. I didn't really care for the cucumber salad, because I am not a fan of cucumbers. But Aaron, as you can see, is ready for Mexico! He just piled it all in rolled it up and ate it like a burrito. Silly boy, it's Asia, not Mexico!

Shot Clinic #1

Let me explain this picture before you jump to conclusions. No it doesn't bring me pleasure to inflict pain on my children. But when we went into the room I asked one nurse if we could get a picture of us at the clinic. He said sure. So he was saying look this way...while we were looking, the other nurse comes over next too us, and I was thinking "oh that is nice she wants to make it look more authentic." Then she says to Evie in a play voice "let me see these thighs". Me, still thinking she is playing around, is smiling waiting for the picture to be taken. He takes the picture and Evie screams and I look down to see that she was preparing Evie's leg for the shot the whole time. I couldn't believe it. I felt so bad. Oh well, at least we got a picture. Evie and Mylee both got one shot and Aaron and I each got three. We will repeat this again next Friday the 29th. Praise God there were no reactions from these, so pray we will do just as well or better with the next round!

Special Meal #1

One of the things we are reqired to do here is eat "Special Meals". So this is the first of 3. This was a dish that is popular in Morocco. I don't remember the Moroccan names for the food so I will explain the meal in my terms. It was small meatballs, a pico de gayo type mixture and bread. So you put it all in one bowl, and eat it with your hands as I am demonstrating. However the other catch is that you can't eat with your left hand because it is unclean. Eating really messy stuff with your hands is actually really fun. You should try it sometime. Especially when everyone is doing the same thing. This meal was actually pretty good. I had seconds on everything!

Special Meal #2

This is the second special meal we have had. This one happens to be a Russian meal. It included Bortsch, Rye Bread, and sour Cream as you can read on the sign behind me. Bortsch is kind of like a stew with meat, potatoes, carrots and striny things we can only guess would be cabbage. We heard that real Bortsch doesn't usually have the meat in it. But they probably require a meat for every meal. There was also a salad type dish with a mixture of Peas, apples, and boiled eggs all mixed up with a salad dressing like cole slaw. Very interesting combonations, huh! The kids are being taught to say "this is interesting" or "this is different". So I will say for this one "this is VERY Differnt". However no seconds for me, thank you!
