borscht and trees

I made borscht with beets and cabbage and other veggies after we went to the Russian cafe and I had ordered it.  My cooking adventure was also after I had given the RS lesson last Sunday.  The pressure was off so I could finally get to it.  I love my veggies.  Today we went to Costco and spent $2000 + pesos on fruits and veggies (oh and a container of chocolate covered almonds for Dennis).  Then we went to Walmart and bought some more veggies and fruits (only not in such big quantities).  I am a happy camper now.  

Spring is coming to the CCM and a lot of the Jacaranda trees are starting to bloom.  Catty said I need to wait until about March 21st and everything will be in bloom.  The flowering trees are a welcome site as it has been a fairly cold winter for Mexico City. (Some mornings when I would go out to exercise it was a cold as 35 degrees).  The blossoms must come first and then the leaves appear.  They also have a very large seed pod that I have been collecting when I see them on the ground.  For now they go in a little basket I bought at an outdoor market.
