AP's, Elder Tartikoff (in front of window louvers) and Elder Alisa (handsome Hawaiian who will play BYU football next year; striped tie top of circle) teach and train St. Kitts Zone elders 13 July 2010.
Sister Alvarado, 7-year-old Jorge, 11-year-old Kelly and 15-year-old Carrie Ann entertained themselves without complaint from 8:45 a.m. to well-past 7:30 p.m. while President Alvarado taught and interviewed missionaries.

Elder Tartikoff and Elder Maldonado happily wait for Sister Alvarado to serve ice cream to go with their oatmeal bar cookies.

President Alvarado talks with senior missionaries after a lunch of Subway sandwiches. Sister Case (red blouse) hosted zone conference, along with her companion, Elder Case . . . .

Dominica Cooking 101

Yup! That's a slab of "yellow fin" being skinned with an incredibly dull knife! It's now sliced, safely wrapped and in the freezer. One day soon, very soon, it will "swim in milk, then in oil" and be eaten!

On the kitchen counter is an assortment of fruits and vegetables, including coconut, green bananas, dasheen, plantain, papaya and bread-fruit fresh from the downtown "market."

Sister Cooper is peeling, coring and cutting bad spots from bread-fruit. The sink is full or slimy-limey water in which was washed dasheen and green bananas before they were boiled.

The finished products--which caused only slight indegestion and over-abundance of STARCH! FABULOUS-tasting carrots in the pan! Starchy green bananas, "swamp-grown" dasheen and boiled plantain on the plastic pretend plate at the left. Seasoned fried chicken tenders on the 'real' plate at the right.
