Puzzle, Lebanese Food and Games

-

 Saturday Cory didn’t go into work, he stayed back at the house and hung curtain rods…one step closer to having privacy 🙌🏼. About a week ago, Cory bought me a puzzle because he thought I would love it. I love Starry Night and puzzles but when the two meet, it’s maddening!


While Cory was hanging curtain rods, I started the puzzle, where ALL the pieces are either a shade of blue or shade of yellow. He ended up joining me and we separated the pieces by shade of color and then some of them by shape. 


At 12:30 we met Ragheb, our Lebanese co-worker and he took us out for Lebanese food. Now, we all know Cory's pallet is that of a toddler, so we were a little worried but we were pleasantly surprised! It was delicious!

Our appetizer’s… the ones on the left were ground beef with seasoning (like meatloaf) wrapped in yummy bread and then you drizzle lemon over it!


We also got hummus with tortillas and veggies. 


Ragheb ordered for us and he basically got us the sampler plate, a little bit of everything. There was chicken (SO good), steak, and ground beef. Then they put tortillas with a chili sauce spread on them and you wrap the meat, sliced tomatoes, a garlic Mayo sauce, and the onions & herbs in the tortilla…DELICIOUS! They also gave us hummus and French fries!

On the way home we passed a shoe sale on the side of the street!  They have plenty of black and white shoes for sale. 




That night we went over to Sam & Amelia’s house and taught them how to play Phase 10…it was fun to have a game night! Sam is very competitive!

 We had a long, holiday weekend so we went to Mikembo with Moren & Sisca, Darius & Leonie, Leslie, Trent, Scotty & Kayla and kids! It was my first time being there and I loved it!  I was a little nervous when I heard we would be camping in tents, but it wasn't that bad. The tents were "nice" and we just sprayed for insects 2-3 times a day. There was a pavilion where we cooked, visited, and ate. There was a pavilion closer to the river that had couches and a table. People napped there, we played games there and just relaxed!  It was very green, because of the rainy season. It was a very beautiful place!  Simi playing around in the eating pavilion.  Caught Cory taking a nap! You can see the tents in the background. Scotty and Trent went and found some wild mushrooms and cooked them up! I was excited to taste them, I love mushrooms!  These particular ones were not my favorite...they had a flavor I didn't like.    It was very hot and humid...

 Thursday, January 30, Morne had me work from home. He didn't want us leaving the compound. I spent the morning doing my normal work and then at 2:45 in the afternoon, Sisca came knocking on my door telling me there was an emergency meeting called at 3:00 and Morne wanted all of us on the phone for it.  We met in Leonie's house and called in.  Morne started out by telling us that the M23 Rwandan rebels, who had already taken over Goma in the North, had started moving south and were planning on taking over Bukavu.  They announced their intentions to continue moving south taking over Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga, Lubumbashi, and then make their was to Kinshasa. The US Embassy had already been attacked and set fire to.  There was discussion about what we should do and the home office was involved too.  It was decided that all the women and children should leave. We didn't know for how long, but because the airport is also the military base, they wanted us to leave whil...

Week 1 at Home ~ July 1 - 7

  Monday, July 1 I was able to be in town for this Westland Breakfast!  It was so fun to get together with all the women of Westland and laugh, visit and eat good food! One of my favorite things about Monday's in the summer is Springville City's Farmers Market!  We love to go walk around and look at all the fun booths then get some yummy food from the food trucks and share!  This time we got alfredo pasta, calzone, corn dogs, California roll sushi, BBQ brisket with garlic mashed potatoes.  Our favorite was the corn dogs and least favorite was the calzone.  I tried the sushi and it wasn't that bad...but there was no raw fish so apparently it's not real sushi! Tuesday, July 2 We got up at 5:30 so we could go fishing up at Strawberry.  Kim and Janet met us up there.  I dressed for warm weather and it was so cold that morning.  I was bundled up in blankets and sweatshirts.  It warmed up as the morning went on.  It was so nice to be out ...
