He participated in Odyssey of the Mind and his team won the Food Court problem for Division IV. Way to go, Bleys! :)

Sadie seems very grateful to be home after being at the vet’s for a whole day.

I drove our new car and didn’t crash it the first time out!

When Trav got his first new car (our Hyundai Accent, which Bleys is now driving), the first time I drove it I hit a deer. There were 72 miles on the car and I only bumped the deer, but it was over $300 in damage. Yikes!

We finally found a yellow curry recipe we like.

It’s from the recipe book Trav got when he was on the HCG diet. Yum!

This recipe is for one serving. Scale as needed.

100 grams of very lean steak, chicken or shrimp
1 whole sliced sweet onion
1/2 clove minced garlic
1/2 t. minced fresh ginger
1/4 t. ground coriander
1/8 t. ground cumin
1 shake turmeric
2 shakes pepper
4 shakes sea salt
4 T. water

In a large frying pan, heat 3 T. water over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, turmeric, pepper, salt and 1 T. water. Add the paste to the onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the meat to  the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Raise the heat to moderately high and cook to your taste, stirring, about 2 minutes longer for medium rare (beef) or until the meat done.

Missy is so very precious to me.

It’s amazing that people can meet in 9th grade and still be together and happy when they’re retired.

I’m very glad Joe is OK.

The dance lesson at the Elks was great!

David, one of the guys from the band “Take Two” that plays at the Elks, is also a Fred Astaire trained dancer, and he’s now giving lessons on Friday afternoons, before the dinner & dance. This week we learned the Foxtrot… the basic step, brush step, promenade and underarm turn.  Then we danced a  bunch of Foxtrots for practice.

I re-discovered ToodleDo.com; it’s helped a lot with my to-do list!
