Food again

No, it is not Easter Egg colouring time! Every week I buy eggs from a local farmer. Eggs are much cheaper than meat so we are getting our protein from eggs now. But before I make quiche or omelette or scramble the eggs, I need to clean them. First I wash off all the feathers, mud, and straw and then I soak them in potassium permanganate. This process of disinfecting is necessary with all fruits, vegetables, and farm products. Everything takes longer here -- especially anything to do with meal preparation.

Occasionally we splurge and go out to a restaurant. We have to be careful how food is prepared there also! One of our favourite places is a collection of Indian take out stands in a parking lot a few minutes from here. It is called Diamon Plaza and we went there on Saturday night with our friends the DesRoches and the McGavrins. We ate bhujiya, chicken tikka curry, Naan bread.
