Yesterday we went to a five-year-old birthday party. There was blue jello, tangled barbies, some white person version of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, mango chutney chicken salad that brendan fell in love with, tangled cake, skateboarding, and a princess pinata.

Brooke's take on her birthday card that said happy fifth birthday: "this card is only for five year olds!" 

I also made our weekly bread, the most delish bread in the whole universe, and it turned out the most fantastic.

we also made cous cous with saffron/cardemom and zucchini and tomatoes.


I need ideas for foods with coriander, star anise, and cardemom - random purchases I made yesterday

why is it so ugly outside?
why do croissants take 14 hours to make?
why does ratatouille also take all day to make?
my name is not carlos
when is gardening happening?
