Authentic Indian Meal at Home!

Today Crystal and I made our first Indian meal. Cashew Nut Lemon Rice and Raita (Plain Yogurt with Fresh Vegatables: Tomatoes, Celantro/Coriander, Onions, Salt to taste). Getting all the ingredients was inexpensive, but preparation time is pretty long like most Indian dishes. Coriander in the U.S. may be expensive, but you can use other greens. The Green, White and Red colors may make this a new Christmas holiday favorite dip or side dish for us. We eat this dish regularly. The Kids can stomach this one as long as they don't get one of the curry leaves or peppers in their rice. They are still getting used to the Indian spicy foods (so is Crystal).

Logan Turn's 6 (In India). Happy Birthday Logan!!

Sept 4, 2010 - Logan's first birthday in India went great. We all had to improvise in wrapping the gifts because the grocery stores and department stores do not carry wrapping paper (Don't you just love the blue suitcases). Logan had a great time with our new friends the Coles.
I think Callen (4 yr old girl) was just as interested in playing with the Hot Wheels set as Logan (and William). The day before his birthday Logan got a huge fat lip, but that didn't dampen his spirit.












The Cake was great and everyone had a wonderful time at the party!!



















Aubrey, Logan, & William were happy to help make the cake.


































Logan's fat lip! (His sister gave it to him or the marble floor. Take your pick).
