M had suggested a week or so ago that we do a second night seder and invite the AJWS staff members Grib and A and other friends. It seemed like having a seder in a restaurant would be difficult, so I asked at our place whether we could use the dining area and kitchen. They said sure.
Grib wasn't feeling well, but A was able to come as well as the Thais who'd taken M to their village last week. And W the new volunteer who just got here as well as two of the young men who were at last night's seder. I've never cooked in an industrial kitchen before and it was fun. We shopped yesterday at a couple of the University Vegetable markets and had lots of very fresh ingredients. The fuzziness of the wine bottle is due to high alcohol content of the bottle.
And T and J brought wine made from sticky rice and grapes. A taste, like asparagus, that you have to develop a taste for. It was a very enjoyable evening with people doing interesting things. It's too bad we're just about to leave. But we have an invitation from J2 to visit his elephants when we come back. And it was nice to know that we didn't have to wash all the dishes, though everyone helped get them into the kitchen and we got most of the gunk off of them.
