Some stuff around the apartment

Egypt is largely a cash-based society and we rarely use our debit or credit cards. Dave cashed a $3,000.00 US check yesterday at Apache. This pile of cash is $21,000.00 LE. I feel like a gangster.

OK, can't rotate the photo but this is my disinfecting bucket. I've got eggs in there now. I use a tablespoon or two of bleach for 2 gallons of water and let soak for 15 minutes. Every vegetable gets the treatment although onions seem to be a problem. Betsy said she just scrubs hers. You then set everything out to dry and put in plastic refrigerator bags (see the red peppers below). I am too afraid of broccoli and lettuce.

Some of the products in our refrigerator. Cleaned peppers, milk, juice, honey (delicious!), water, and yogurt.
