Sea Glass and Food

(Yes, I guess the next few blogs talk a lot about food, but when you have so little to work with and so little to do, food becomes the experiment and entertainment of the day - it is a good thing there are three meals to amuse you a day!)


So today was pretty quiet. I watered the seeds, which are mini little things as well as all of the newwest seeds that I planted, despite only one dill seed growing out of hundreds of dill and other things. I then filled all of the blue pots with soil and replanted some plants from small pots to the bigger blue ones. I did this while Jonathan rearranged the nursery by herbs, medicinal herbs, fruits, vegitables, flowers/plants (glad I got out of THAT job!). Then I made a sign for herbs to show Amir. It is mud and sea glass is used to form the Hebrew letters. I finished my day by making sweet potato and pear with sugar and doing a load of laundry. I tried to make a beet thing that would be good but it tasted like beets, gross. I gave the beet, sugar and cocoa mixture to Jonathan.

It was still early though so I sat while Jonathan cut up about 6 eggplants, 2 onions, 4 cloves of garlic, a head of cauliflower, and lots of thymne and rosemary. All while he spoke with a New York Jewish accent telling me about back in the day, don't turnout like your father's side of the family who married cousins and all sorts of stuff. It was super amusing.

While working Jonathan plays Hebrew podcasts. You would think some of this would stick, but I really need to write things down to get it. I repeat what they say though and Jonathan says that my accent is superb. If only my French were as good.
