Maddie went to school in Idaho for the last trimester of school and lived with Jim and Marilyn, but when we met Kami at the airport, she came on home with us to spend the rest of the week. This was her and Kami walking over to invite two of Maddie's high school teachers to her report. They are some of our neighbors. They came and loved it!:
Kami wanted this picture to send to one of her Filipino companions because she thought it was so "American" how much bread we had in our cart. This WAS the bread store...
She had said how excited she was to "feel human" again when she got home. Over in the Phillipines it was useless to do her hair because of the humidity. SO, two days after she got home, here we were at the beauty salon:
Kami cooked for the family soon after she got home. Jim, Marilyn and Linda were here for Easter and got to experience it with us!
It was hard to find some of the similar ingredients to what they had in the Phillipines, like a certain kind of green bean that she said they had there. She brought some of the spices that she used, though, and this Balut:
I can't say that it was a hit, but Kami has really developed a taste for it. This was Pace's opinion:
It smelled the house up SO BAD and no one could get past the crunchy bones and eye balls!
Our neighbors stopped by right after it was ready and we couldn't talk them into staying to try some:
interestingly, Anni seemed to love the Balut, but stopped eating it when a bone got stuck on the top of her mouth...
