My old steel crank windows.  Since the evenings have gotten cooler we have been eating outside more...and I crank out the window and talk to the kids in the yard while I cook dinner.  When dinner is ready I pass the plates through the window and into the hands of eager helping children.  It makes my heart skip a  little beat.  I plan on painting the window frames black....what do you think?????

On another "culinary" note....

Recipe for Singapore Lettuce Wraps

I made a new dish.  Do you ever use recipes on the back of the product box?  I don't usually, but I was looking for something a little bit different (and on the advice of a friend) went for it.  With a little twist of my own of course.  I HAVE to suggest the New College Inn Thai Coconut Curry Culinary Broth.  Yummo!  I made the Singapore Lettuce Wraps with Rice and Chicken. My twist was....my own marinade for the chicken, and added mandarine oranges, and red onion to the wrap and I must say it was a good Monday meal, not heavy, but filling, and with just enough  flavor.  The kids even ate it.  So I have to say, I might be looking on the back of all of the my product boxes, turns out the recipes can be good!


Oh, and just another little thing.  I received my first giveaway package on Saturday from the lovely Patricia from PVE Design.  It made my day!
