Great Day

Peas and Carrots, Potatoes with Peanuts, and lamb/rice baked curry. (We used goat and did it in her pressure cooker...it was delicious!) So many good spices like cumin, coriander, curry, nutmeg, bay leaves, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, chili peppers...

This was the best "mise en place" that I have ever seen!

For those of you who are wondering what is "mise en place"??http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mise_en_place

Yesterday (Saturday) was a fabulous, productive, enjoyable afternoon and evening. I got to spend it with my neighbor learning to cook some new Indian dishes (yes, my neighbor is South African and not Indian). We even made the homemade flat bread. We had such a good time cooking and talking and then we got to go look at plants around the compound and she helped me to pick a few to plant into pots for our balcony and our house (pictures later of the plants!!!)
