What does Theresa eat?
Yogurt has proven itself delightfully easy to make. And making it myself is hella cheaper than buying it. And it won’t make me sick either (often a problem, when refrigerators are only turned on during the day . . . and the yogurt can be months old). Chewy granola was also easy, [...]

In which t sees just about all there is to see.
My trip up North was incredible. Frustrating. Painful. Digestionally challenging. Amazing. Beautiful. Full of culinary delights. Mostly, though, it was inspiring. Coming on the hells of All-Vol (two days of enforced quality time with every single other volunteer in country) and IST (in service training for SED/ [...]
