“You must have been running”
29 Aug 2019
I had been waiting to get to Setavi and see how the men did with different soils and working mostly without guidance (although I made suggestions and gave ideas, I allowed them to find the solutions). They did SO WELL… … More “You must have been running”

They are corn tortillas stuffed with potatoes and I have become very attached to getting them every Sunday night. It costs a quarter for 6. This past Sunday evening, the ladies got … More The Dinner Snatcher
