We took Abby to get her claws trimmed on Saturday and while we were there realized that we'd just passed her second birthday. So instead of her usual post-nail-clipping treat we got her a little, dog friendly cupcake. It was rock solid and iced with yogurt (the kind

Garden Curry

I made curry for dinner last night and it was awesome. It started in my garden and ended on the table and was super easy to make.

Heat one can of coconut milk and some curry paste (I used two tbsp of green curry paste and a little less than one tbsp of hot red curry paste - just to heat it up a bit - this part is really to taste) on the stove for about five minutes. Add chopped carrots and potatoes and cook for about ten minutes. Add shelled peas and chopped beans and cook another ten minutes or so (until the beans and potatoes are cooked but not so they are getting soggy). Turn off the heat and stir in some fresh, chopped tomatoes. Spoon over rice and eat.

The only vegg in this that wasn't from our garden was the potatoes but they'd been in the cupboard for a while and needed to be used up and I love potatoes in curry. Using veggies we've grown ourselves makes everything taste so good. The tomatoes were incredible - warm but not really cooked - they were little bursts of sweetness. The leftovers were even better as lunch today.

p.s. These beans are awesome. They're called "Purple Queen". They start out dark purple and turn green as you cook them. I've been waiting all summer to see it.

I actually got home yesterday but was too tired to do more than download the pictures from my camera (I took almost 400!) and grab a shower (4 am is too early to shower). My trip was great. I met a lot of my Dad's side of the family that I hadn't really known before

Quiet House

Posted by Peanut in Untagged 

This is not Shelley.  This is Rob. 

Shelley is away this weekend, visiting her Grandparents to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, so I figured I should keep the blog rolling. Unfortunately I don't have a camera here so I can't take any new pictures.  Abby just doesn't know what to do with herself and keeps checking at every sound to see if it's her mom
