Russian Week

This last week we made two Russian Dishes, Zebra Cake and hearty bean soup! Both were delicious the beans weren't quite cooked right so we had to pick them out... that was our fault though :(. 

Also, our organization/club we created, ZAP is in full swing with weekly meetings where we watch The Walking Dead, and try and prepare ourselves for the worst scenarios!  Today we(ZAP's founders: Cody, Emily, and Andrew) went shooting and had a trip to Smithfield Implements to pick up a few emergency supplies.

Cody bought me a clown figurine, trying to help me conquer my phobia.

$3 dollars for an oil lamp.. YES PLEASE! and .99¢ emergency blankets? Heck yes.  Piecing together our emergency kit :D

October Catch Up!

It has been a busy month.. No time for two or three fancy dishes each theme!!!

Lamb Chops and Matzah

  The first week in October we had a Jewish meal in honor of Yom Kippur.  Even though it is a time of fasting and atonement.  The Matzah tasted like a saltine. Yay home made crackers!!
     The second week we celebrated Oktoberfest but failed to take pictures of the food.. only our sweet costumes are preserved for all time.  We also had a "Sea Faring" meal of fish and chips in honor of Columbus day!

     And here is a random picture of this Monday's shopping trip to target.. you could call it FHE, we had fun.. Unfortunately my phone didn't save the picture I had taken of Andrew being Thor! D: Sad day.

Play Ground Fun Time! 10/2

We recently were in Elko for, my eldest brother, Brian's wedding.  The following morning while waiting for the time to pass 'til we met our family for brunch, we stopped off at a childhood playground of mine.. the fun that ensued was incredible.

INDIAN WEEK!

Last week in honor of Navaratri, nine days of dancing Hindu festival, we made a few Indian dishes!

Royal Chicken with Yogurt Sauce

Improvised naan, didn't work as naan but was way good fry bread!!

Chicken in Cilantro, Mustard, and Spinach Sauce(smelt kinda funny, but tasted fine :)

Not Indian.. I wasn't feeling well so Andrew baked me some home made mac and cheese!
