Mondays and Tuesdays are great because I can walk home to share lunch with my family and friends. It's usually already prepared by Ibu Duah or hubby when I get there.
At lunch today, I ate the yummiest yellow lentil soup. It was full of tomatoes, red peppers, sage and basil floating among brothy lentils over rice. I devoured it spoonful after spoonful. Sometimes, it pays to look at one's food and eat with reverence instead of intense hunger after a full morning of mothering and clinic hours! The next spoonful contained a grubby worm with lots of legs and a translucent green white body. All I could do was stare and share the vision with my family and friends. E blurted out, "We need to wash our basil better!" or something like that. I am so thankful it did not make it into my belly and I hopeful none of it's cousins have either.
