Boring, but welcome, week


It was a pretty boring week for Witchner since Paul and I had to go to work each day, but that was OK with him because it gave him a chance to sleep in late and then be on his laptop all day long. We encouraged him to do some homework, but because it's only Wednesday, he's not feeling an immediate need to yet. He made diri e pwa for us for dinner tonight. It's soooo good.

There are a few things that are new to him. He was amazed when I told him that we eat beet greens. Although they grow lots of beets (betwouj) in Haiti, no one eats the greens. He looked pretty skeptical when I told him that we did. To prove it I steamed some, put some salt & pepper on them and had him try them. To his surprise he liked them. It sure seems like this would be a natural for increasing the vitamin/mineral intake for Haitians.
