| This is a lid sealer for canning. There are no Ball lid and rings here. Just one lid with a rubber ring. Pop this contraption on top of the lid and jar, turn the knob about eight times and your lid should bend down around the jar and be tight. |

| This is a snack called, Halva (I think that's how you say it.) You just break pieces off and eat. We think it is made of sunflower seeds. The first time we tried it, Mike asked our produce lady what it was and if it was good. She said we must try it. We ALL said no thanks until she promised we would like it. I, personally had refused until Mike told me it was very sweet and delicious AND the produce lady also would not let me leave until I tried it too! It was a fun experience with many laughs. Now our kids buy it at the little convenience store. It really is tasty if you can get past its appearance. |

| Mike was the one who knew exactly what these toilets are for. They are NOT for indoor plumbing but actually toilets that can be used in an outhouse. Just put the toilet over the hole, get a seat and lid if you'd like and you are ready to go! The men who read this will immediately get the picture. |

| There are no disposable egg cartons in this town that we have seen. This is a plastic egg holder that we needed to purchase. Usually you buy eggs by counts of 10 AND they are placed in a very unreliable plastic bag. We go through many eggs a week. We have this egg holder and a twenty count egg holder too! |

| This should be easy. It's a picture of root cellars behind the apartments. Yep, even the apartment dwellers need root cellars too! |
 |
| Okay, this handy-dandy item is something that will be missed when we go home. It is an electric water kettle. It brings water to a rolling boil in about 1-2 minutes. It's been a lifesaver for dinner, dish washing and a quick cup of coffee or tea. |
