Indian Cooking



A church friend, Rachel Singapogu is teaching her first season of workshops called Indian Cooking For Beginners. I will be attending one of these classes soon. Not only will she be teaching people how to make their own curries among other things, but she is also selling Indian Cooking Starter Kits! I already purchased one of these from her. She is selling a small kit with basic Indian spices for $15. She is selling a second larger kit that has additional products in it for $80, which after talking about it with Anthony, we purchased because we love Indian food. When I brought the kit home and checked it out, I was amazed at what all Rachel had given me for just $80! One spice alone at a lot of stores can sometimes cost $6, but I received 36 items in my Indian Cooking Kit for only $80. Rachel keeps a beautiful blog called My Indian Recipes that are easy to follow. I know I will be referring to her recipes frequently.

Baby Shastya Felisya's First Day Eating Breakfast Cereal!


Shastya had her four month doctor visit recently, and she was given the "go ahead" for eating moistened breakfast cereals. We have had so much fun feeding rice cereal to her. She is already an avid eater or foodie it seems! It's like we can't get the food to her fast enough. She just wants more, more, more!

Pompous Produce



I just had to share some novelties I found at the grocery store. The specialty items I picked out for the week included: papaya, cardoon, artichoke, daikon radish, ginger, black radish, kalamata crown figs, and kale! I have so much fun picking out new things at the grocery store, and then trying out random formulas for the products throughout the week.

Arduino Date 3: Fading


We had some more fun with the Arduino and breadboard. This particular tutorial, "fading" went rather quickly for us. I think the example picture helped me figure it out pretty fast. So fast, that Anthony thought that it would be nice to do another new tutorial. I thought it might be nice to stop while we were still having fun! We ended up stopping while we were ahead, and switching activities to yoga at my request.
