nanma and nandad
We've had a very sunny day with nanma and nandad..
(a.k.a. nana and grandad)
making paper darts, doing origami,
eating pumpkin soup and sticky lemon muffins
(i know, i'm so predictable)
and going to the QUARRY PARK.
J10 playing on our fave digger.
walking the plank: M4 gasping,
"D16, can you please hold my hand or I'll fall into the crazy-water."
(sounds like a Daddy-story to me)
R13 trying on Sally's hat.. dahling, you look so gaw-geous!!
S8 standing on the dragon's head!!
J10 having snuggles with the grand's
in the late afternoon winter sun.

Your gang sure knows how to have fun!
Hey--I saw over on Mountain Mama's blog where you mentioned that pumpkin and lentil soup. You know, you just can't do that without sharing the recipe!!! So pleeeeze post the recipe, because it sounds yummy, and I'm desperate for more vegetarian/vegan recipes (which it sounds ilke this is)....:-)
:o) hey chewy mom,
I make variations of this recipe
http://katekiwi.blogspot.com/2006/05/curried-kumara-carrot-and-lentil-soup.html
all the time…
try adding half a chopped and peeled pumpkin instead of the kumara (sweet potato).. or instead of the curry powder, I often put in a spoonful of green curry paste (or try your fave Indian spice blend).
I find that the carrots give the soup a lovely sweetness.
I *love* pumpkin soup so much.
In my humble opinion, pumpkins and lemons are the things that make winter bearable :o)
bon appetit !!!
Soups definitely get me through the winter, although my kids get SICK of soup! LOL!
I assume I can do this w/o a pressure cooker...like all day in a crock pot??
hello CM
yes, i have to vary the kinda soup i make too...
"today, it's CHICKEN (and veggie) soup!!"
actually we're on a bit of a corn chowder bender at the mo.
yes, if ya don't have a pressure cooker, it takes 20 - 30 mins in a "typical" *grin* pot, then blend it, then maybe pour it into your crockpot and keep it warm for the four o'clock munchies :o)
... or bribe them with something else until dinner...
