Today proved to be a rather quiet holiday, which was good because often
Sunday can be a busy time and frequently exhausting. Often this means,
needing a day with which to recover and that day is Monday. Besides
being our day to recover, it was Labour Day. There were a number of
visitors throughout the day but the day was mostly relaxed and easy
going. Rita stopped by for a brief visit and Ludmila and Dima spent the
day to do a variety of chores around the monastery grounds and then in
the evening, we met in the kitchen, with Andy, where we had tea. Ludmila
made a dish for tea time which was both pleasing to the eye, healthy
for the body, and tasty to the palate, causing the taste buds to stand
at attention. At first, I thought she was making cornbread because the
fixings looked yellowish and crumbly. Then it looked like she was making
a pizza because she rolled out the fixings which proved to be dough
which was sprinkled with shredded garlic, greens, chopped
vegetarian/imitation, chicken, onions and sour cream. All this was then
rolled up like a carpet, wrapped in foil in order to set for an hour.
When the time came for tea, the roll was sliced into portions, set onto
plates, sea made and a delicious treat was had by all. We drank tea and
talked for some time until time to depart and end the quiet and peaceful
holiday celebrtion.
