This is the kitchen in our home, and here are a couple of pictures of a typical mealtime. Notice the bowls - we have a lot of soup. Mostly with potatoes, but also with any other vegetable we can add: broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peppers, peas, yucca, green plantains, onion, beans, etc. Also sometimes we throw in a chicken or some part of the pig. Speaking of the pig, every now and then we see some part of the pig in the fridge that we are not all that anxious to eat - for example, the head. Suzanna has noticed our discomfort and now sometimes she plans on eating those delectable parts when we are not around. So nice of her. We decided to have a table made in order to more comfortably fit our two families. I found a carpenter in town, and he made a nice sturdy table, two long benches and two end chairs, stained and everything, for about USD180. It looks and works great. I'll put up a picture of it later.
Also notice that the walls have been cemented. They are no longer simply cinderblock. After the month or so that it takes the cement to dry, we are thinking of having a big painting project.
Hi guys! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see all of you in these great pictures ~ I have really enjoyed reading your blog and catching up on all the news in Ecuador from my home in Newtown PA! It's hard to believe that I was there with you just a few short weeks ago. What a special week that was. "Hi" to Jorie and Audrey (and Bentz too)! Be well..I think of your family often! Keep warm:) Linda(Tandana)
