2 pictures of the root of death.... with its purply veins of tingly ouch. I had eaten this particular root before in a stew so I have no idea why it caused such a reaction this past time of the afore mentioned blog.
Well here are pics before we cooked it and after.
Chibi Lea seem to be doing better but continue to pray for better and better health for her.
We had this past Friday off for day of the soldier. We also got paid on Thursday which is always exciting. So these past few days have been very good ones.
One of the parents sells fish so we were able to get some fish which we ate tonight (Saturday) in an orange/ginger/garlic glaze. It was really delicious.
I have been enjoying continuing the relationships I made with people around this area, it is fun. Such as this next narrative:
One day I was moving rocks onto one of the roads we use often and had gotten quite muddy recently. Well as I was doing this one of the waitresses that we have gotten close to walks by sees what I am doing and starts helping! I tried to insist that she did not have to because she was just getting off work walking up the road for the bus. She said she had time and continued helping me collect rocks. I call her Sonrisa which means smile because she has a beautiful smile. It was such a sweet gesture. As she left that same day she said "Tomorrow I will do a little bit more." and sure enough she did!!! It really touched my heart. I hope that I will be able to return the favor and do something extra special for her one day.
Also that same day I was chopping grass and two other of the workers at the hotel walking up the road stopped to wave at me. They were far off too, but they saw me and stood there waving until I turned around and waved back. Those moments make my heart smile!
the bits you see are the purple veins within. Oh that was a weird moment when we thought we were going to die.
Here it is cooked. We ate some raw and it was fine it didn't cause the reaction until after Loq fried it.... strange.

So glad to hear of smiles of the soul! Always good...especially when they are unanticipated. ;0)
Regarding "root of death": it looks very much like what the Hawaiians call taro and the Fijians call dalo...similar to potato and usually boiled in both aforementioned locales...if it is the same thing, I don't know why the fuzzy mouth thing happened...
Love you bunches!
P.S. Glad Lori found you! :0)
P.S. (again) Noticed you changed name to the blog link for me...nice.
