The glutton in me picked out the largst possible peach. It is on the counter calling me...The peach is part of my Fruit Share from the Greenpoint-Williamsburg CSA in Brooklyn. Our farmers dont actually grow the fruit but they get it from their neighbors over at Brieremere Farm (Both farms are in Riverhead, Long Island. About 80 miles from Brooklyn). The tomatoes are from my heirloom tomato share through Margaret, the farm intern.
My haul today (except tomatoes out of my garden) and I don't know where to start!

Education pays off: that's the message. The legislator Lycurgus presented the people of Sparta with a moralistic comparison. He had raised two dogs in very different ways, the one as a well-trained hunting dog, the other as an undisciplined glutton. Lycurgus showed the consequences of this upbringing by feeding both dogs the same thing: a hare and a pot of food. The hunting dog immediately went after the hare, while the greedy dog ​​began to eat, as seen here in the foreground. Beside the legislator stands the faithful dog - Lycurgus puts his right hand on his snout appreciatively - with the captive hare on the steps of the dais.
Everdingen made the piece for the city hall of Alkmaar on behalf of the city council. Proud that the 'Education Committee' was allowed to contribute ideas about the education of Prince William III, the 'Child of State'. The story about Lycurgus is derived from the Moralia of the Greek writer Plutarch (c. 46-120 AD). Seventeenth-century Dutch translations existed of these ethical writings. According to Lycurgus, both reactions are the logical consequence of their upbringing. It is determined by natural ability, education and practice. Discipline of this is necessary to lead a virtuous life. The painting was intended for the Prinsenkamer, a room in the City Hall renovated in 1656. which was intended as a reception area for the stadtholders of Orange. The moralizing tenor of the performance has been associated by Bedaux with the upbringing of Prince William III, the later Stadtholder-King. After William II's death in 1650, the prince born in the same year was considered his intended successor. Much to the dismay of Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt, he was raised by his mother Henriette Maria Stuart (1631-1660). De Witt feared that the young prince would become prejudiced by the English court around his mother. For this reason, according to a resolution of September 25, 1660, the education of the prince was taken over by the States of Holland (hence the nickname of William III, the 'Child of State'). The Grand Pensionary himself took a seat on the Education Committee, just like representatives of the Knighthood of Holland and the cities of Alkmaar, Amsterdam and Dordrecht. However, after the death of Henriette Maria Stuart on December 24, 1660, the situation changed completely and on September 30, 1661 the States withdrew as guardians. It is essential for a good understanding of the painting that the city of Alkmaar was (co-)educator of the young prince for a short time in 1660-1661. This undoubtedly determined the choice of subject. The order must have been given to Caesar van Everdingen when there was still no suspicion of the change in guardianship with the death of Henriette Maria Stuart.

I'm not sure whether to say I'm amazed, bewildered, upset or fascinated by the way things work in India.
The difference between home and here is so great and there so many examples that it's hard to describe it except in huge generalities, but here's one example...
After planning a 4 day trip with a driver, we backed out after 1 day. Despite multiple email and phone confirmations, we found out at 5pm that we had no room reserved for tonight. I asked the driver this morning about the hotel and found it was impossible to communicate with him (again, despite confirming an English speaking driver). So, being fed up, we cancelled the whole trip and started over from square one.
We found a hotel and booked a new driver through a gov't tourist office within an hour. The guy above was a huge and honest help and we are now set for the next few days.
Oh and despite everything, we changed our flight to have an extra week in India (now leaving April 2nd). We're gluttons for punishment I guess.
Today reminded us of two things: how luxurious it was to stay with Dina in Mumbai and yes Sandra, where the hell is Mervyn when you need him?
