Thurs Sep 3

Lonnie took Annslie and walked to Neeconjo for eggs. I mixed up flan in preparation for a special day tomorrow. 

Baked chicken fingers, Mac n cheese, and baked beans for lunch

 A downpour came thru this afternoon dropping the temp beautifully! When we left at 4:15 for Lewis’s 5:00 Doctrine class, the van thermometer showed 26* C(78.8*F.)! We haven’t seen that all summer! The traffic at Gollamari bridge was quite backed up (it’s a real bottleneck there but they have made good progress on the big new bridge.. it’s a point of observation and comment every week when we go drove by) so we were 10 min late. Shortly after we arrived, the power left. So we were reading the lesson and scripture references by flashlight, just like last week. Purnima served us crunchy green amra wedges seasoned most delectably with lemon juice, salt, a bit of sugar, and a touch of hot pepper🤤

The days are shortening noticeably, It was already dark at 6:30 when we were driving back thru the city! We stopped for a few kg of meeshti balls for a special treat for our S.S. students and Lonnie’s friends tomorrow. Then picked up a little snack of pudi… a little round, crispy, flaky, fried street food with just a sprinkle of yumminess inside. Another stop by the fruit and veggie market. The girls ate all the mandarins while they were waiting for us in the van so we stopped again at another fruit and veggie market and bought more along with bananas we’d forgotten to get at the last stop.
