Rice
Rice in Peru is available in a variety of qualities. You can buy a kilo for 1s, 1.20s, 1.40s, all the way up to 2 or 3 soles. We usually buy the cheapest kind and bear the consequences to save money.
The cheap rice has an added ingredient: bugs. Every time we want to cook up a pot of rice we have to sort through it first. Beans, oatmeal, pasta, and sugar often come with bugs, too. Sometimes they are dead, sometimes they are crawling around.
Alex and Karen are very particular when they sort. I’m more impatient. When Ansley sorts the rice, that bonus protein often slips through.
Oh well. The sun sets around 6:00 and hardly anyone can see their food when we eat supper, anyway.

Ansley, you dear girl. I miss you being somewhere closer. I loved your story in the Southern Columns and am so proud to be your G'ma. I am also proud that it was a California Angel that gave you money. People and angels are like that out here. Well, this bloging is just about the greatest thing since chocolate was discovered - so wonderful to partake of. Thank you so much for sharing your everyday life, nitty gritty and all. Love you and God knows about you because I ask Him to watch over our girl.
