I would love to add here. I LOVE my neighbors. If I could kidnap them and bring them with us to Washington, I would. It is like having family next door but without the obligation to family stuff, you just wanna hang out and do stuff together because you can. My son also loves their son Kai. He often wakes up in the morning or after a nap asking where Kai is and trying to walk out the door to see what the little rascal is up to. There are so many other reason to love my neighbors. Like their outdoor-si-ness, that they line dry their clothes even though they don't need to, that they use foil instead of drier sheets and home made washing detergent, that they care for my kids as their own and mine theirs, that they are go adventuring all the time, that they are artists like me, that they don't have internet and ride bikes to the library and sit out on the lawn to use a public service.....

For dinner last night i made a modified version of Fish Tagine. It is a Moroccan dish cooked in a Tagine. As I don't have one I used a good ol' American crock pot. This dish is an art form and that is how it is to be treated: with a lot of love.
Today my arm pits smell like Turmeric, yummy.

So for tonight! i am trying to rid my freezer of its contents and I love making kiddo food. So. Here is an easy recipe for vegi nuggets.

4 T light soy sauce
1 T Teriyaki
1 egg

1. in a medium sauce pan on high. Place frozen vegis and couscous. Pour in water and wait to boil. Turn down heat to low for a simmer and cover. 5 min.
2. Transfer to a blender while hot and pour in. Add egg and blend until smooth. The heat from the mixture will cook the egg.
3. transfer to a medium bowl and mix in flour for a dough.
4. set oven to high broil. Foil a cookie sheet and drop a teaspoon of batter onto cookie sheet. sprinkle with flour and press each down with a spoon to flatten a bit. toss in oven
5. Every 5 min. flip your nuggets until they are golden on each side. cool and serve with a dippin' sauce to your lil pumpkin.
