got a text from my grandson advising he would be dropping a few things off for me today… he was supposed to let me know the day before he was coming, lol…

I had promised to make red curry lentils so I got started…

usually I put the uncooked lentils into the sauce to cook slowly as they simmer, but as I wanted to be sure they were cooked in time, I did them separately…

while the sauce and lentils were cooking, I made the rice in the Instant Pot…

felt a little more rushed than normal, but I had everything cooked and in containers in about an hour…

he picked the containers up along with some other treats when he dropped off items he had collected for me;-)…

he also brought a couple of gifts from my younger grandsons… an Indigo gift card and a monopod for my camera;-)…

lovely to get a few late gifts…

today, as I was eating my cauliflower soup for lunch, I was thinking about my mom…

she loved curry… at that time it was not one of my favourites, but yesterday I popped some into the soup…

tasted pretty good and the smell certainly brought back memories of times with her;-)…

this morning I had a cup of my favourite tea with a bowl of red curry lentils and rice… not my usual breakfast…

yesterday I made the curry as a gift, and kept a tiny portion for me… and apparently was craving it…

we had ribs and potato salad for supper… delicious… always love the first potato salad of the year;-)…

so happy about the tea… great to have a full box… it makes it even more special and I enjoyed every sip…

also got the waterfall running, and the fish are in the pond…

my grandson and I are planning to pick up some new goldfish in the next few weeks as we are down to three… it will be nice to have a small school, lol… hopefully the big ones won’t eat the new little ones…

first thing this morning I took a few pictures of my purple tulips…

really amazing how flowers make me happy…

also have tulips at my desk at the office… we always buy them in support of the Lung Association Breathe fundraiser… 

tonight I made this delicious ChefsPlate Thai Sweet Potato Curry with coconut milk, swiss chard and whole wheat naan bread… it was delicious and also made me happy…

I was so excited to start eating it that the bowl was half empty when I remembered to take a picture…

can hardly wait to eat the leftovers;-)…

together…

big girl pants, curry, DavidsTea, errands, jeans, lentils, purple, shoveler, snow, together

up and about fairly early for a day off…

ran some errands and picked up my hemmed jeans… my girls will be so proud:-)…

  
found a few pairs of socks and a nice white t shirt to go together with the jeans…

stopped in at DAVIDsTEA for the free cup that I heard about by email… really enjoyed the Mom’s Apple Pie flavour… and came away with this, lol…

 
it is a gorgeous shade of purple and keeps things hot or cold… also collected some tea that I had earned… 

my shoveler came after school and cleaned up all the snow… it was really cold out and he had to come in midway to warm up his hands…

  

we had supper – the red lentil curry – and he headed home on the bus, with curry, chicken and dumplings, and pistachios in his bag… 

always enjoy spending time together…
