First of all, happy birthday Sabrina!! Hope you enjoy being 25 the second time around, too. This morning, I had my last breakfast for a while – Jane’s delicious homemade muesli. Lunch was leftover chickpea curry, and snack was – ok, I had lots of snacks.
But then there was dinner. I was all mentally prepared for one last delicious dinner when Arvind announced mid-afternoon that I was done with ‘real’ food. Hmm…wasn’t quite ready for that, especially having seen others eating ‘normal’ food the night before their fasts!!
I got to try a little bit of the dhal Arvind and Dean had made, and it was delicious – I’m trading Dean pctures from Sunday for the recipes he’s been jotting down during his cooking lessons, so I’ll just have to make that one…or stay a bit longer and have it here! Dean’s been doing a lot of cooking lately to learn from Arvind, which we all think is pretty amusing for a fasting guest – not only are guests not supposed to do anything remotely housework-related, but most of Arvind’s recipes involve the phrase ‘to taste’ several times, so it’s got to be tough.
Oh – in case anyone’s counting, Dean’s been here longer than the original plan of one week. He’s determined to finish the fast only when his body says he’s done, no sooner.
The new WWOOFer, Oceana, arrived today from Australia – with a few days of NZ exploration thrown in there before coming here. She’ll be taking over the housework and will probably stay relatively long-term to train in massage/.bodywork with Jane and Arvind.
