Computer, day two

Linnea's mouse skills have suddenly improved, and she continuously reaches over to use her left hand to do it, which I think is veeeeery interesting, meester bond. She likes to stop games when they get "too serious" but has also accidentally demonstrated her ability to recognise letters I wrote down after breakfast.

Emer is wearing the nappies Linnea had when Emer was born.

There was a familial conspiracy to have a nice time today: Emer told us to get our helmets and go out on the trike, so we did the recycling. Then Linnea said we should have chips, and I found money, and Rob went and queued for them, and we all cycled to the river to eat them. We sat on the trike and on a treetrunk, and then played a bit, and came home, and made curry, and the girls laid the table, and we had dinner.

Rob's Curry Today

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
2 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Half a large onion, chopped finely
4 cloves finely sliced garlic
2 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tin chickpeas
1 tin coconut milk
about 6 small potatoes, finely chopped
400 ml vegetable stock (from a cube!)
1 med-large apple, chopped
Some leftover chicken

Heat oil, cook the seeds until they pop, reduce heat, add the onion, garlic and ginger.
Add everything except the apple; simmer.
Add the apple, start cooking the white rice to go with it.

Made enough for two adults and two children-who-don't-eat-much for two days.
