Dewi, Ms. Regina's maid cooked these delicious and beautifully colored clams for us the other night. She told us that her mother and she caught and shelled clams back in the village where she was born. Now she is the only one working, since both her mother and sister are blind.

Dewi and I are are also language buddies.  We work in the kitchen together, she tells me the words in Bahasa and I tell her the words in English.  We even have a little notepad that we write down phrases and words.
