IMO Jordanians are more closely connected to agrarian roots and this seems to make their circle of life a little tighter than I experienced as an American. I have very wealthy friends who have farms and would not waste a leaf of produce out of respect for the land that produces it.

It works well for the English sentence but in the Arabic one at first glance I thought that the topics were almost new, not almost daily :D I know it's no big deal but I can't help it, I'm a translator!

Wheat and beans being healthier, too. My landlord used them for windowsill planters for mint, herbs and things. Also, she got matching old tanekas from olive oil and used for stair-step planters of jasmine, kinda retro-cool. Leena, good idea there! Wheat and beans being healthier, too.
