Masala Yums

This one took awhile since I soaked the beans & barley(in veggie broth) and basmati(in milk) all day. Masala was the easy part because I tried TJ's simmering sauce and it was AMAZING! Add some nan and dinner was delicious! i even have beans for some lunch and dinner left-overs later this week...yay!!

Bonita

It's Star Wars Day! I wanted to make a picture with an old Ewok toy I got at the FAO Schwarz in San Fran back in the early 90's but couldn't find him. Instead I stumbled upon Bonita, a marionette that has been a part of my bedroom since I was an infant. I'm not entirely sure where she came from, but my Mother seems to vaguely remember finding her at an Indian festival in southwest Florida. She's one of the few treasures from my childhood that has stood the test of time.
