Dinner Menu SOS

I had a great day today, baking bread with my buddy K across the circle. We made one batch in the bosch and one by hand. She had some multigrain flour to make uber healthy bread and her oven worked 10x better than mine. We made about a dozen loaves and 2 doz buns.


So I went over to pick up some of the bread this afternoon after it had all cooled and she is cooking the most fantastic smelling/looking dinner; lots of veggis, spices, saucy meat. She said that lots of the ingredients she had to buy off-island but it looked like it was worth the effort. I complained I was going home to make meat and potatoes and I didn't even want to eat it.

Any good recipes with curry, something Thai, maybe Indonesian... send me a link to a great recipe online if you got one :) if there are weird spices I am sure I can raid a few cupboards to find what I need; odd vegetables are harder to find. I think the boys are even ready to try some new flavors. As long as dinner includes a meat group, B is up for it too.

A neighbourhood in Malpe Ridge?

I'm doing some research for a family on our circle (aka cul-de-sac) planning a move to Maple Ridge this summer. The dad just got a position at Terry Fox and they hope to buy a townhouse in Maple Ridge. Any tips for a great neighbourhood? They have an almost 3 yr old and an 8 month old so they want to be close to an elementary school.
Just thought I would ask....
A rainy wet weekend so far. Made our first big garage sale purchase today. More info to come :)

Easter Weekend

The long weekend is not even officially over and I am posting some pics. Pretty good eh? Truth is, I am avoiding studying. B and D just did a hair cut and then we are heading out for a walk.

We have had 4 consecutive days of amazing weather. Awesome.
Friday evening we went to Agate in search of scallops. I think washup season is long over. We only found a few shells.

The surf was huge. I was a bit nervous with the boys tempting the waves. All stayed dry and safe. On the drive back we saw a rainbow :)

Saturday we went back to Agate; did some whittling, beach walking, fire stoking, hot dog stick searching...
Wrestler was 'there' just did not come 'here' for the family photo.

Sunday afternoon we took out the machines to the dunes by the elephant cage.

Sunday evening we went to the Sangan with some buddies. Another beach fire, spaghetti in a pot, a few smores. good times.

Cousins

A few recent photos with the cousins while we were in Rupert.
And the 'little girls'.
