This is another installment of Cedar’s Digest, a series of poetic stories about the experiences my husband, Ren Ruslan Feldman, and I are having living for six months in Central Borneo. We are volunteer teachers in a small, innovative Indonesian school. The school is child-centered with a focus on hands-on learning and character development. Classes are taught in English and Indonesian.

Indonesian Food

guavas and white rice
pineapples and chicken
green beans and river fish
carrots and bananas
white bread and eggs
tofu and tempeh
mango juice and limes
noodles and eggplant
cucumbers and tomatoes
potatoes and basil leaves
bits of beef and tiny shrimp
UHT milk and rice chips
corn and sweet potatoes
onions and red pepper
watermelon and coconut
canned mushrooms and asparagus
magic herbs mashed together
with a stone mortar and pestle
very hot sauce (sambal)

now, using these ingredients
fry the meat, tofu, or fish,
slice and boil the vegetables
and serve over white rice
or make a soup or stew
and pour over white rice
have coffee, tea, or water

THAT’S ABOUT IT!

HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE

begin with what you have at hand
cut 4-inch diameter trees
sit in your yard
and shave the bark off
use these for the structural framing
add slats of rough hewn wood
leave holes for windows
that can be closed with wooden slats
floor of dirt or slats if the house is on stilts
thatch the roof and front porch with sticks and grasses

with increasing prosperity:

frame the windows
add louvers above the windows
to catch the breezes
add glass
open the front like a garage opening
and start a little shop

exchange rough siding for lap siding
add bright colored paint
lime green, sky blue, peach
exchange thatch for corrugated tin roof
raise the peak to hold the hot air as it rises
extend the roof for more shade

tear it all down and begin anew
use cinderblocks for the walls
sturdy posts for roof
tiles for roofing
on both ends of the roof ridge

add windows and louvers
that open and shut
add screens
add a fancy carved wooden door
add smooth cement coating
to the outside walls

add more ground floor rooms
possibly a second floor

THAT’S ABOUT IT!

I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.
