Bamboo Shoots and Leaves
Last night the air cooled down and I went for a run at dusk. A 5.5 mile run. It was a wonderful run and my new running shoes were amazing.
That was a huge blessing yesterday.
As we transition into life here I am going to be sharing some Thankfulness posts as a way to end each day with reflecting on the good.
Here are 3 things I am thankful for about this day:
1. We saw this crazy looking little dog that followed us down the street and stood and stared at us while we were in a shop. This dog was so pathetic looking it was cute. It looked like a shaved Chihuahua with Dalmatian spots and a bad haircut. It was an incredibly cute/ugly dog. It looked like it wanted us to take it home.
2. I pointed at a picture to order food and I some how ordered curried bamboo shoots. It did not come with rice so I said the word for rice and managed to order some. The bamboo shoot curry was not spicy so I added a LOT of chilis to it from the bowl of chilis and fish sauce. I succeeded. It was spicy enough to almost make my eyes water.
The leaves I saw were in a wok. They were piled about 2 feet high in the wok. I have no idea what they were for.
3. I bought a bag of coffee. I do not have a coffee grinder yet so I keep trying to find ground coffee that is reasonably fresh. Tonight we were in Tesco Lotus and I found some Ethiopian Sidamo medium roast coffee. I will try it in the morning. It says it's tasting notes are Fruit and sweet.
Tomorrow we will try to get driver's licenses here. I may need to post a lot more than 3 things I'm thankful for at the end of tomorrow.
