Today was a very nice day.
I decided to make three different Indian dishes which included using spices like cloves, cumin seed, and cinnamon sticks. I also used fresh mint and cilantro. The whole house smelled wonderful!
My Mom and sister came over right as I was making the first dish. It was nice having them in the kitchen with me. They joined in with the cooking. It felt like old times way before I was married. The time went by way too fast.
Later that day we went to our small group. After we finished up our book study we ate dinner together and had cake and coffee. Everyone had fun... and I got two more women to say that they would love to get away for the weekend! As soon as I got home I started looking up beach houses at Pismo Beach-- April looks like as good of a month as any to plan a women's get together if I do say so myself!

I LOVE Indian food - all those delicious spices. I can only imagine how wonderful your house smelled.

I love Indian food...wish I lived close by!
I made my first attempt at Indian food Friday night! My house smelled like curry and cumin for days - in fact I think it's still faintly there. But it turned out delicious.
I think the one thing I miss the most about not having a girl with all my sons is that special time in the kitchen that woman have. I can cook with my sons. I can even cook with my oldest son (who in the 6th grade could make an awesome homemade lemonade meringue pie). And we can even talk. I miss what I could share with my mom, grandmother, and aunt in the kitchen. It was a beautiful woman thing!
