My exercise for today was mowing the lawn! Usually Stephen does it but he is out of town this week in California for work so it was up to me. I broke a good sweat, and got a few bugs up my nose...but it wouldn't be mowing the lawn without a few right? :)
Also, here is a kind of unusual food that I had never had before we went to Ukraine. Its buckwheat! Despite the name it is not related to wheat and has no gluten. Anyway, you buy it as buckwheat groats. They are kind of hard to find, so you may need to ask. You cook them by boiling them for about ten minutes till they're soft, and then stick them in the frying pan with a little butter and salt, just like you can with rice. I have to give a disclaimer, it is very much an aquired taste! It wasn't until the end of being in Ukraine that Anna and I liked it. Now we love it. It's a really common thing to eat there. The good thing, and the reason I'm posting this, is it's really healthy for you! So give it a try and see what you think :)
