On language blunders: this week over lunch I was telling my colleagues (in Nepali) about how I recently bought “sasu” powder to add to my food. (Stinging nettles grow wild all over Nepal’s hills, and are rich in nutrients!). Problem was, I accidently used the word for mother-in-law {sasu} instead of stinging nettle {sisnu}. My sincere apologies to @mimiruth13 - I did not, in fact, grind you into powder and eat you 😬😆. #languagelearning #stingingnettle

Kathmandu Commutes: in which you never know whether or not there will be a road on your walk to work 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tis the season for attempting to arrive at school and work without mud splatters, and attempting to make it through a few days without a member of our house throwing up. What is with May in Nepal, or is it just our family?? Making the weekly yogurt tonight - come on and work your God-given goodness probiotics 🙏🏽

You never ever know what you’ll find crammed into Kathmandu’s little book shops: in this case, a lovely window into the life of a Benedictine monk from 14th century Westminster Abbey as he tends his gardens, mixes up herbal medicines, creates seasonal recipes, weaves new bee hives, and celebrates the liturgical year with his brothers. // Brother William’s Year, by Jan Pancheri . . . #kidlit #books #kidsbooks #raisingreaders #littlebookworms #childrensbooks

Peach plum apricot season came to Kathmandu! 🙌🏽 Gotta get them the week they’re in season and gorge ourselves, then they’re gone the rest of the year. Kinda like how food used to be in America before we lost our sense of seasons, I guess? 🍑🍑🍑

Saturdaze with our teeny toaster oven: seeded buckwheat soda bread, granola for the week, a big batch of banana buckwheat muffins, and lemon honey cake. And I’m done.
