Zander had Stacia out early this morning teaching her how to use her scooter. She seemed like a natural until this afternoon when she fell and was introduced to road burn.
Arielle gave Stacia a pedicure yesterday. Stacia is now sure she should give me one.... notice the big toe. LOL
I had a long list of things I needed to get done for regional - I didn't get them all done....but I DID enjoy a two hour Skype meeting with PWOC Japan's Conference Coordinator and a friend who served as a Regional Conference Coordinator in the last 2 year term. Lots of great information passing back and forth. I'm thrilled to see how God moves through Kristin to bless our ladies in November 2013.
I also spent a couple of hours working on notes for a talk I'll give tomorrow.
I had thought I'd make pizza for the kids and ratatouille for Michael and I....as he wasn't impressed with Annies Veggie pizza..... Everyone loves the Sourdough English Muffin as a pizza dough...and I made it vegan.....added chicken, turkey pepperoni and cheese on the kids....
I make homemade pizza sauce....and when I smell it - I just couldn't resist....so we made our own veggie....mushrooms, broccoli, jalpeno olives, red peppers, green onions, tomatoes....I grated a zucchini - I hoped it would look like cheese ...but it got too fine...and lots of garlic....no cheese - totally vegan.Michael ate it. I liked it. The veggies were a bit crunchy....next week I'll roast them first....or some of them....and I'll be sure to have some artichokes...Michael said it was way better than Annies. I plan on trying the ratatouille tomorrow.
After dinner, I disappeared again to work on my notes for tomorrow. I'm condensing the general sessions from WILD to share at a local planning retreat. I was working on a combined slide show but decided really - I would have to go get screen, projector, show up early to get it all hooked up and I think I'd be the only one using it for an hour - then have to put it all back- I'd rather catch the end of Road to Bali with the family. Star Trek (original) and I'll call it a night.
Choosing Joy!

I often cook ratatouille just with zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices in olive oil. Then we eat it with couscous grain... vegan without intentionally trying! I enjoy your blog and especially the Japanese flavor.

I thought ratatouille was a stew...but a friend gave me a recipe that sounds more like roasted veggies in herbs and she serves it over pasta.....couscous sounds like a good option too. Thanks for your kind words, Anne.
DeleteI guess mine is sort of in between then... The couscous soaks up the juice if it ends up too liquid from the tomatoes. I hope you like it! Anne.
