Ice, Ice Baby




You know it's almost time to go back to Marulaon when Aaron comes in from shopping for the village and goes straight to SITAG's deepfreeze to deposit the rice and pasta and kill the little critters that hide inside.  In Lavukaleve, they are rais osou, "rice flies".

Wow. The transition back to the island is coming fast. How wonderful that you'll have a helper with the kids and schooling :D

That moth in (down a post or two) is so big I thought it was a little bat!

Originally I thought it was a block of ice. Makes me wonder if I should at least be keeping our big bag of rice in the fridge to keep away the rice flies.

Blessings!

Ah, the critters in the rice took me back...we used to always make sure to sift our flour and pick through our sugar before cooking. Memories! :-)

I can't wait to see what our combined chefs cook up for us when we get together next summer!
