Garbanzo Bean Salad

Everything grown in the garden, except the garbanzos - tomatoes, leeks, purple brussel sprout leaves, red onion, kale, and Laurel's home-grown purple grapes.  This salad has a garlic dressing, and home-made Labneh, a cheese made from yogurt.

Subscriptions on Facebook

One of the features of Facebook is the opportunity to subscribe to the newsfeed from people of other cultures - they share their life with you, enabling you to appreciate how they live, what is important to them.  Two subscriptions I've enjoyed lately are from people living in remote northern climates. Their lifestyle is challenging, requiring many outdoor skills; and friends and family are cherished.
