Belgium Day 365: gobble gobble

ESL students often have a hard time keeping straight two words: kitchen and chicken.  This results me in bocking/flapping/pecking in class and drawing to help them remember we cook chicken in the kitchen.  

Today I did the grocery shopping for thanksgiving.  This meant I had to go to 6 stores to procure the ingredients.  This would have been one stop shopping at Whole Foods or Central Market.  It felt like I've divorced America and America got sole custody of Whole Foods/Central Market.  This turkey greets you as you walk in to the shop on the Airbase.  Creepy?   Cannibalistic?  Either way, be grateful for all the simple pleasures in life like well-organized grocery stores. Happy Thanksgiving! 

Belgium Day 179: Climate Change

Texas is hot.  And sunny.  Often.  I tolerate that well.  I do not tolerate rain, sun deprivation, and cloudy weather.  Most people shed skin in the heat and sun.  I do not.  I shed and shed and shed in the grey, humid rain.
