After reading up on our mold problem at our new favorite sprouting site,
we realized that our situation was probably due to a lack of ventilation. We will rectify this for our next crop. Sad, but only one tablespoon of seeds lost.
Locomotion, redefined.
Sprouting: Crop 3. Salad Mix.
1 tablespoon seeds.
Soaked Friday night, harvested Tuesday morning.
5 min/side fan-air-dried.
Fantastic!
Another box! Yay! More sprouting lids, reading material, medicals, random toiletries that India cannot deliver… thanks!!!! We feel so loved!
Great corn-on-the-cob from #Dorabjees last night. @PuneFoodies
It is a sad day here in Pune, as I have received word from our favorite health-food producers in town that they have been forced to leave for bogus visa reasons.
Dakini Foods produced the best natural food products we could find in town — including all natural and fresh peanut butter, tofu, tempeh, and rice cakes. Ah, what a sad, sad day.
What is more, it seems that corruption and abuse of power were the rule in the government’s under-handed dealings with Hillel Shapira, the proprietor of Dakini Foods, even to the extent of imprisoning him and making him pay bribes to use the bathroom.
We clearly live in uncertain times when the emerging leaders of the “free” world act indiscriminately with impunity.
We wish Hillel and the others the best, and hope they find prosperity in their next ventures. Good bye, Dakini!

Another box arrived, thanks Jackie and Russell! Super tea and protein powder and lots of other fun stuff (spike! yay!)… ;-)
We threw a frisbee around in the park twice last week. We were certainly a (or the?) attraction! The next step is to go early and make our own disc golf course among the trees. :-)
one of the better bad cracker options. funny how little things take over life in India…
Most all of Pune closes up and shuts down at 11:30pm—fallout from Indian bureaucratic reaction to recent events. A few choice places stay open a bit later — we’re searching them out! Fire dancers offered a tame spectacle for a few min after the music stopped…
