Is pretty plain, isn't it? Never mind my opinion of recipes that use
pre-packaged soups...if they don't want to learn to cook, let 'em eat at
McDucks ;-)

Well, we just got some carrots, but I don't think sending them your way
would be much help ;-)

Rob and Margali went to the Chinese grocery yesterday, so dinner tonight was
spring rolls and steamed cauliflower, but my cooking teacher, Adamantius,
sent me a recipe for the dough they use to make those stuffed Chinese rolls-
look like a dinner roll, but they're stuffed with all sorts of good stuff-
spiced red beans, curried chicken, bbq pork- some even have custardy kinds
of stuff in them. Think I'm going to make up a batch, have some quick and
easy breakfasts ;-)

In the mean time, I'm tired of freezing my tuchus off, so I thought I'd take
a look at my favorite Carribean island:

Trying to decide where to put the forge, once I hit the lottery ;-)
