Continuing with the Simple for a bit

everything and the kitchen sink

Behold, our kitchen sink! Interesting features include, starting from the upper middle:
  • A desk lamp, left by a previous resident, that worked for us for about three months before shorting out that we haven't gotten around to replacing or removing.
  • A string of dried persimmons (yummy!) given to us by a colleague shortly after Chinese New Year's. They taste a bit like Fig Newtons, and are great in oatmeal or on their own.
  • A hanging flower vase made from wire and a water bottle, made by a group of Jane's students as part of their "make something and describe it to the class" presentation assignment.
  • Dangerous looking electrical outlets. One of those cables powers our fridge, I think.
  • Dish rack, purchased from Ikea in our first month here and still going strong.
  • Post-It notes with Chinese vocabulary. (re, nuan, liang, leng - bet you can guess what they mean.)
  • One of our many reusable water bottles and a dirty dish or three.
  • Fruit and vegetable soap, for scrubbin' them watermelons! (and tomatoes and apples and...)
