Pioneer food
Alison has been sick for the last few days. We have been buying a lot of orange juice, and taking it fairly easy. We had our monthly ward game night planned for Friday, but we didn't go since we didn't want to infect anyone in their family.
Saturday morning we filled some more of our front yard grow boxes with post-compost dirt. It is very nearly done. Hopefully we will have enough time to finish it up before we need to plant the leaves.
On Saturday (while everyone was napping) I went to the Indian grocery store and bought the ingredients for Paneer Masala. Paneer is an Indian cheese that doesn't melt. This means that you can fry it or grill it or anything and it just keeps the same shape. It is used a lot like tofu in dishes.
By itself it doesn't taste like much, but when put in super tasty curry it tastes like super tasty curry, and that is great.
Once I arrived home from my trip to the Indian market Andrea was awake and everyone else was still napping. In order to get the rest of the ingredients for our indian food we went on a daddy daughter date to Maceys. We bought $20 of vegetables and called it good.
The meal turned out pretty good. The recipe was approximately this:
1 can pureed tomatoes
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp oil
1/2 c milk
2 c chopped vegetables (green beans, cauliflower, carrots, peas)
1/4 c ground cashews
season with masala to taste
add 1 cup cubed paneer
simmer until thick
pour over rice
Andrea said that we were eating "Pioneer food", and we couldn't figure out what she meant for the longest time.
The chickens have begun producing eggs last week. We have gotten only three so far, but we expect that with 6 chickens we will have a lot more in the near future. The goats have not started producing kids. Perhaps that will happen some time soon.
At church yesterday Alison was talking to Sara to keep her quiet during sacrament meeting. Alison showed her a picture of the first vision, and said:
"A boy named Joseph smith was praying and Jesus came to him and told him what he should do."
Sara thought a minute about what Jesus would tell us to do and then she said:
"Play. Hide. Head under a blanket"
This is one of Sara's favorite games, so I don't find it too surprising that Jesus would like it as well.
Finally, Rea has been watching our daffodils for a long time hoping that they would bloom. They all bloomed over the last few days. In response to this she said: "We have twenty nine and sixty blooms." (which seems to be something like 89 flowers (which is also an overstatement)).
