Just call me Susy homemaker!

Since coming to Floresti I have learned a lot about working around the house. I thought I was already pretty knowledgeable, but no-I am the young grasshopper who has much to learn! Below are some pics of me helping out!

Making Tomato Juice (manually-there was no electric juicer)

See all those tomatoes, my fingers were orangish red for a couple days after!

I made all that!

The final product!



Laundry Day (manually)

Pouring water into the agitator

Clothes agitating in the water and soap (6 minutes)

Rinsing the clothes

Wringing out the newly rinsed clothes

The clothes hanging on the line to dry


Making ketchup (manu...you get the point)
And notice there are no tomatoes, if I understood correctly, those will come later.

Apples, Carrots and Red Bell Peppers

Me cranking the veggies through a meat grinder

    Noroc Becca. I just caught up on your blog, and it's seems like you're enjoying yourself. I think it's safe to say, Moldova is pretty much the same everywhere you go. However, in my tiny isolated village, the limba moldovaneansca is a lot more difficult to understand. For example, every morning I thank my bunica for breakfast, and instead of saying Fii Sanatos, she says Sheee Shanatosh.

    Love Mom

    I grew up canning tomatos, funny with it being such a big crop around Sacramento that I've never done it here. I did make and can strawberry jam with our 3yo last month. She was very excited about crushing the berries with a potato masher. Next up, I've found some salsa recipes online to can, maybe the start of some Christmas gift baskets!
