Today’s big event was our weekly student dinner. Maria and Olivia made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Similary to last week, it almost didn’t happen. The soup had a very … interesting flavor until Tyler improved things with a few spices. Tracy was banished from the kitchen for some ill-considered comments.
The main event, though, was a discussion with guests Emily and Joshua. They work in development with different non-governmental organizations (NGOs). (Emily is a former student of Tracy’s.) Emily works at MEST with students interested in software startups and the app economy. Joshua works in agriculture and micro finance, with a side business selling preservative-free dried pineapples. The samples he brought tonight were incredibly tasty!
A few days ago, I wrote about a volleyball game in which Kallie broke her ankle. In the photo below, you can see Kallie’s new blue cast that was installed this morning. She has a few weeks of crutches to endure, after which her ankle should be completely healed.
