Mom, what are all these cars doing in my house?!?

I made Sweet Chickpea Curry Casserole from Vive Le Vegan that Joanna had blogged about. Very very delicious and really easy. Thanks, Joanna, for blogging about it.


Just chop stuff up, dump some cans of stuff in and toss it in the oven. I'm sure you're wondering how such a lazy dish could ever be good. Well, it is more than good. It's amazing. Bow down to the kitchen queen that is Dreena.

Here is what I did differently:

1. If you use full fat coconut milk, only use 1/2 can + water.
2. I added in about a cup of leftover mashed squash, it made it really creamy and thick.
3. you gotta add some hot sauce or jalapenos unless you like 0 stars.


I also made some brown basmati rice that I cooked with some cardamom pods (about 3 of them for 4 people's worth of rice). When it was almost done, I added in some frozen peas.


Now you have 2 bloggers that give this the thumbs up, so get out there and make some.

Just a smiley gingerbread cupcake from where else, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Do I have to mention that it was really good or have we all figured out that cupcakes from this book are always yummy?

My mother sent me a ton of these wind up toys in my xmas box. The cats really don't know what to think.

It's party time when we wind them up. Even the sleepiest cat will get up to join in.

Peepa is contemplating a smack down. This car goes in circles and apparently it deserves extra smacks when it goes around something, like this tripod leg.

Faline is ready to spring into action.
And here is her big move -- sniff the boat that goes around in circles.
