Things I did yesterday

Well, yesterday was so full I really had no time to post. The ministry conference basically went off: I had fun, learned much and came away really encouraged, and I think mostly everyone else did too.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was good fun; I sat through it with the biggest stupid grin on my face.
And cooking in the evening was mainly all right, except for icky-sticky jam drop mixture, and a chocolate caramel slice that shall be known henceforth as Disaster Slice. (The caramel didn't set.)

tiny tiny tarts

Here are some of the caramel tarts I made yesterday. I'm being kidnapped later, and taking the tarts with me. (Kidnapped by my aunt and uncle, not the scary kind.)

100 100 100

Welcome to blog post 100! Yay!

Am planning on spending the afternoon making little caramel tarts, and possibly Paneer Butter Marsala, which is like Butter Chicken but lacking in chicken. And also getting my Sunday School stuff in enough order that I can hand it over to the next teacher with a minimum of confusion.

I feel like this post needs something exciting and special because it is the hundredth, but here's a picture of some balloons instead, that I took with my phone.

And a slightly fuzzy picture showing how adorable my clock looks in a hat.

kidnappings and such

So. I had a lovely Easter weekend, as I was unexpectedly kidnapped by my cousins and made to eat chocolate and go shopping and watch movies. We made white chocolate and orange truffles, and I ate too many, and then I sat on the couch and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and felt quietly sick.

Huzzah!!!

Alleliua's Current Obsession is two whole weeks old. Let us celebrate with interpretive dance.

(Pause for interpretive dance.)

It's been a reasonable two weeks, on the whole. I knocked over an assignment, got a cool new book and sunnies, saw some family, did some sleeping (but not enough), and I made curry. I'm sure more happened than that. And it has been good, even if I've been eating out of vending machines too much (just because it's a time-honoured uni tradition doesn't mean it's good; actually, how many time-honoured uni traditions are good? Whining, complaining, getting drunk and leaving everything to the last minute are the uni traditions that spring to mind, and they are even worse than excessive ex-vending machine eats.) Hmm. And I really don't have a life, but I knew that already.

Plus, I read a bunch of Psalms, which is also good.

Cookingness

Today I made hommus, and also curry. Both were very good. The hommus recipe comes, as far as I know, from my Dad (he forgot where it came from.) The curry is Nigella Lawson's sweet potato and chickpea curry, which came from The Age newspaper a few months ago. I found the recipe on the web, here: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/03/recipe_of_the_w_9.php

Mmm. Curry.
