How many times can one boil an egg before it goes kaput? :) I did it 6 times before it broke apart. I wasn't brave enough to see if it was still good. haha.
They're taking the crossed swords monument down tomorrow. (They being the Iraqi government I'm told) I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm told it's coming down because it was a symbol of Saddam. It seems to me that it could instigate an unnecessary and unwanted response. It seems like they think if they get rid of anything that could remind the country of the man, then the country will forget he existed...I'll have to think about this some more....
They are repairing the floors at our DFAC (desparately needed) which means they have temporarily (for 3 months) cut back on the variety of foods made available. We used to have a short order line (fried foods), main food line (main meals), to-order stir fry line, salad bar, and to-order sandwich bar. Now we are limited to the main food line and short order line...and the main food line is limited to two starches, two meats, and a vegetable. :) There goes my diet of salads for lunch. haha. The thing with the food here is it is prepared for soldiers and therefore packed FULL of calories. A single chicken tender has nearly 400 calories (according to the posted sign), so it's very easy to have a full day's worth of calories in a single meal. All I do is sit at a computer all day so I don't need all those extra calories.... Today was spagetti. We'll see what this does to me on the scale. :P
Monica, you'll be pleased to know that I wore the necklace that you bought for me in China today and I received NUMEROUS compliments on it... so thank you :)
My husband and I WERE contractors in Iraq supporting the reconstruction effort. We’re still on the program, but now from the good ol’ USA. We continue to keep this blog updated on a regular basis for our family and friends. Welcome!
