I have taken many photographs this week. We have been gone 76 days. Our 18-month mission is for 18months, leaving 461 days left to serve. You might think this is funny or strange to be figuring the departure date, but I like numbers and love to do the math.

I love to cook. My husband’s favorite think to eat is rice and chili’s. Here is the recipe:

4 cups cook rice

1 small can of diced chili’s

2 cups cream

1 lb of jack cheese, shrewd

Mix together and pour in 9x 13-glass pan and bake 30 minutes.

This is delicious!!!!

I love to cook and miss being in my kitchen. But I started asking around about how to buy bulk chocolate for my English toffee. Peru is one of the largest importers of chocolate bean. Our friend Alan sent me to this store where I was able to buy bulk white, milk and dark chocolate plus this place had barrels of nuts and dried fruit. I found the almonds I need for my candy at very excellent prices.

Cher and I went to the shopping area to buy the chocolate and decided it was not to safe. Cher made the comment that they will just cut your purse right off your body, so we bought the chocolate and decided next time we would bring Bob and Jim. The problem with bring the men is they say hurry up and we say we want to keep looking.

Today Bob and I cleaned our apartment from top to bottom. The dirt in Peru is plentiful.  That is because it never rains. The mountains have no vegetation. The windows have no screens and the dirt can get ¼ inch thick. Had to get two vacuums for the apartment. I guess I could get a cleaning lady, they are very cheap but I am too cheap.
