Samosas

What can I say? YUMMMMM.

Neha

I went to a chaat (Indian snack food) party at the home of some friends this afternoon. The food was amazing (see next photo) but even more amazing was my friend’s daughter, whom I hadn’t seen in five years. Last time I saw her she was a cute little bookwormish ten year old with glasses. Today… wow.

Back In the Kitchen

I haven’t made anything other than throw-together meals lately but last night my writing group was coming over and I decided to make two recipes from Rebar: a wilted spinach salad and a Greek lentil soup. They both came out amazingly wonderful. The lentils (here, with bay leaf) looked really pretty.

My Car

Where’s my latte?

Splash

My daughter told me about how a big wave came and hit the boat during the race. Here they’ve just picked it up and turned it over and I love the water droplets hitting the dock. Splash!

All Hands On

A Good Race

This is what it looks like after you’ve rowed a good race. I love all the hustle and bustle in the background, the boys heading out in their boat.

No Bunnies Please

My mother is about to start a new quilt. My friend asked for fabrics in yellow, red and orange. But then it turns out that she has a phobia of bunny rabbits. So it looks like this fabric will have to be put aside.

In the Hills

My daughter is also a photographer. She mostly likes to use a Holga, which is a plain box camera with no controls. She set this one up, and I clicked the shutter. I love the eerie otherworldliness of Holga photos. you never know how or if they are going to come out. She had this print mounted and just brought it home from the school exhibit, and I took a picture of it with the Canon.

Spring

has sprung.
