Sweets

Really not much new to report. I've whined about this already but it is just work, work, work.

Ramesh brought in a box of "sweets" for Luis and I to try. The box had a variety of these cake- or cookie-like pieces. They are made with what we would call condensed milk. I guess the heat up the milk until it becomes thick. But there also is wheat or some flour that holds it all together.

There is one that has actual silver on the top. There are these others that are sort of like taffy. Glassy looking. Very colorful. You have to pull it apart with your teeth to get a piece. And very chewy and very very sweet.

It has gotten even hotter here now. Well into the 100's each day.

Head home tomorrow. I'm definitely ready.
