Friday
Today I went to Edy's.
While it was technically the second time, last time we were in a rush, so it didn't really count. Edy is one of our lovely Cape Verdian farmer friends who enjoys taking our compost and keeping her friends well fed. Jason, his girlfriend Mary, and I stopped by at the end of a long day to deliver a load of compost, and she and her husband invited us in to eat. First she gave them each a Heinekin, and me a ginger ale, then brought out the cauliflower/squash/meat soup (made from Monday's haul of cauliflower). This was followed by fish, and chased with a plate of rectangular samosa-like items. Then she brought out plantain fritters.
Edy wouldn't take full for an answer, insisting that we finish the items. Between the three of us we ate everything but half of the soup, which was enough of an appeasment, though I'm sure she would have preferred if we had polished that off, too. Edy is just an overwhelmingly generous person, and I look forward to interacting with her further, even if our communication is limited.
Time to sleep so we can get a nice 5:45 start tomorrow!

I don't think you will lose weight this summer.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't go to Edy's every day, and I am throwing around a lot of 50 lb sacks of potatoes, so we'll see which outdoes the other.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, Jim, you probably need to put on some weight. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fantastic meal... and fantastic company. It's making me hungry just reading about it. Better than the dining hall? :P
