Potato and Cauliflower Curry Soup…
This evening I made hearty Potato and Cauliflower Curry Soup. I didn’t really follow a recipe. I just kept adding whatever I felt like to the pot.
Ingredients include: chicken stock, water, onions, garlic, olive oil, ginger, carrots, celery, potato, cauliflower, barley, garam masala, fennel seeds, bay leaves, parsley, cumin, salt, pepper and of course curry powder.
It was really good and hit the spot :)
First Daffodil of 2011

Mung Bean Mochi…
A few days ago, I saw a friend Meighan’s photo of Mango Mochi that she made. I searched online for recipes and saw a bunch of recipes for Red Bean Mochi… which gave me an idea to use a Mung Bean filling (like in Hopia) instead of the Red Bean. So I set out to try to make my version of Mung Bean Mochi.
Knitted Tri-peak Cap…
I was amazed that I completed my third Knitted Tri-peak Cap in just a day. It’s a birthday gift for a friend and I wanted to get it done by the weekend.
Winter Greens sorted out and potted out…
The tray of winter greens that I planted back in November have grown and I can now tell what is what… (My great-niece tripped over them and mixed them all up.)
I planted the Bok Choy seedling into hanging pots in out front yard, since there is more light there. I’ll plant another batch in a few days for the backyard garden.
I also potted up the Broad Leaf Mustard from the Jiffy Peat Pellets into a large pot (Solo drinking cup) to get them to grow a little bigger before planting them out.
Wish List: Hellebores (Lenten Rose)
Just added Hellebores (Lenten Rose) to my wish list. My Mom saw these in a garden magazine & asked me if they sold them here. I didn’t know.
