1/24 Sardines have never been so good

Tak and I woke up early to help with breakfast.  The girls and I agree that our favorite breakfast is a thin savory pancake made with onions, cilantro, and chickpea flour.  The consistency is just so smooth and a nice departure from rice - don't get me wrong I love rice and am even craving it on it's own without daal;).  But Shanku made chapatis instead - a very close second.  Dani did not sleep well and is still pretty sick, so Tak and I met in the classrooms to search for mural materials.  Four hours later, we had gone through five dusty trunks and cabinets finding treasure after treasure - old books, NGO materials from the eighties, and heaps of collage material for our murals.  We spent the afternoon designing the murals that will hang in Classes I and II.  Class I's theme is the five senses and Class II's is farm animals.  Siddarth made the most delicious snack from a can of Sardines, onions, tomatoes, mustard oil, chilis, lime - all fried up.  Better than those fancy tapenades I had been craving!   Just a little shout out to Shawn and Laurie- that was the last of all those wonderful treats you both gave me before I left.   While my pack will be lighter - my tummy will be very sad;).
