It wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't. Final decision will be told Monday. Remember when we bought a roast, thinking it was a beef roast. Then we went home and read in the dictionary about words, and what they meant. As I walked in the room, Bonnie said we had just purchased a horse. We put it in the freezer and started to look for someone who would eat horse. None of the elders would, no one we could find, even the natives would not eat horse. (I ate a piece of meat somewhere and I could have sworn that it was horse. It tasted awful, but it was meat. Maybe I have had a piece of horse? Who knows.) So, we went to a meeting with our director, and told him about the horse story. He laughed. He said that they DO NOT sell horse in this country. (I Wonder????) He said that the "palomilla" was just the cut, not the definition of the meat. So it is now, officially, NOT horse and we are going to try to eat it on Sunday. Will let you know if I start whinneying, or stamping my front foot, or what??? But it was, then it was not, and now it doesn't seem to be horse. It is red, looks like a good cut of roast, but we shall see, for the verdict is still out.
Today is my mother's birthday. She died 11 years ago. She died a few days after the UGLIES of 9-11. We are back into the swing of things. I taught four lessons this week, and Bonnie taught three. It was good. She did great. Monday is another holiday and thus we have another day of holiday. Probably just to remain around the apartment.
Here is mom and I in front of Columbus. We are the people, and the statue is one of Columbus, or his brother, I can't remember which one. They are sure proud that Chris Columbus discovered America and he landed not far from where we serve. He is a great hero here. Well this about enough, for mom needs to put her bit in also. I will leave it to her to blog about our vacations.
