Zadok builds a little race car with Grandma...
...and models Grandpa's hat. He is exactly 30 months old today!

With a surplus of green tomatoes at the end of the growing season, and the first frosts imminent, I had to come up with a recipe utilizing them, and I created an excellent one, if I say so myself.
It is my pleasure to introduce Green Tomato Chutney, the latest and greatest topping for crackers.
3 cups green tomatoes, chopped
1 cup tart apple, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup white raisins, soaked for several hours and rinsed
2 TBSP vinegar
2 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash cloves
Dash nutmeg
Dash black pepper
Dash chili pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a good sized saucepan with a lid and cook slowly for an hour and a half or so until it is soft and blended. The color will be brownish.
Best served with cream cheese over my equally delicious recipe for homemade crackers.

They say when a child plays with his mother's chador, the next child will be a girl. Zadok has shown an unusual interest in my chadors over the past few months...

30. All the places where we've made so many memories, especially all the firsts...first kiss, first house, first baby, etc.

27. Free (for us) lawn and garden care, expertly provided by M.D. Shah...
Zadok is his little shadow. They're going to miss each other.

23. Those tiny green raisin grapes half of Kabul grows in the backyard, "sweet enough to make a grown man cry."

21. Weird Chinese childrens' clothes (the clothes Chinese children actually wear...not just childrens' clothes made in China.)
Random groupings of English words and letters...
Shameless knockoff brands...

18. Eating off the floor...
Actually, I am sure we will continue the custom of eating, sitting, and sleeping on the floor (at least in our own home). Life is so much simpler lived close to the ground.
