TURN OFF THE LOUD TV IN THE BACKGROUND. Very loud and prevents people from hearing you and focusing on what you are saying!!!!!!

We had a Japanese student, Rieko, who lived with us for 3 years. Reiko taught me to char roast eggplants. I just do this over the flame on the stove. Makes for a wonderful flavour. BTW the background noise makes it almost impossible to listen to your video, as it drowns out your voice. Shanti/Mary-Anne
