Blogging experience number 2 was a little easier than the first since I kind of had to tell you about myself in my staff profile! So I hope you feel like you know me better!

Today I went to Shaique’s house to roast cashews with her. Yesterday she brought some cashews to the Harmony House and she agreed to make them again today, in order to teach me how. When I got to her house, she had already picked 30 or so from a tree behind her house. We put some rocks together and filled in the spaces with sticks. Her brother started the sticks on fire and we put a big lid of a kettle on top of the rocks. We put all of the cashews on the lid, over the fire. She demanded I stand 5 feet away from the fire, because otherwise a burning cashew would get in my eye and I could go blind. Fortunately, none of the cashews flew that far but we did get to eat some roasted cashews, hot off the fire.

Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading. Hopefully you can roast your own cashews at home now!
