Jeremy’s chicks have become hens and are laying eggs with rich, yellow yolks. Their eggs are small compared to the ones we buy up the street.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n LOCAL FOOD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Amy and Bob are continually planting seeds in the deck garden. Some of the plants are slated for transplanting to the back yard and others get to live out their lives upstairs. Most meals involve something from one or both gardens. And avocados are in season! This is a picture of a black bean hummus wrap with mango and corn salsa, sauteed veggies, avocado, tofu sour ‘cream’ in a piece of fresh bread from the nearby Lebanese bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TWO WEEKS OF GROWTH<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Everything grows like crazy here! This is two weeks of growth on the deck garden, with a lemon grass harvest in between.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n OKONOMIYAKI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Amy designed this meal around cabbage. Okonomiyaki is a cabbage pancake which she topped with a creamy tahini-based sauce with a salad of shredded carrots, beets and cucumber and \u00a0on a bed of dandelion leaves. She saved the tiny flowers from the tops of the scallions to use as a table decoration.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n VISTAS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Managing our views, turning bidets into planters, making lemonade from lemons. Or not. We do what we can. But what we see in the photo on the right is the oh-so-exciting aluminum ladder. With this ladder we can replace burned out light bulbs and gain access to the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SAME AS IT EVER WAS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Our neighbors are a comforting constant in our lives, with their banana plants, sun-dried block rooms and afternoon card games and siestas underneath the mango tree across the street.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SMELL OF COCOA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We can see the cranes and shipping containers at Guinness Brewery from the second floor and while we cannot see it, we know the ADM Cocoa plant is very close by because we often smell the rich aroma of roasting cocoa. It is lovely to sit at our desks and inhale the\u00a0scent\u00a0of chocolate!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOING DOWN<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n March 25th – The sun sets on another tropical day six degrees north of the equator.
