Indian Food

Anyone who knows Dan and I knows that we love Indian food! We go out for Indian more often than any other type of food. But here's the thing, everytime I try to make it at home it just does not come out right. There has to be some ingredient or something that every recipe I've made is missing.

So, here's my question to you. Does anyone out there have any really good kick ass Indian recipes that I can prepare at home? Keep in mind I do not own a tandoor, but I do have accessibility to a fully stocked Indian supermarket. Any help would be great!

Dare I say?

Enough of Michael Jackson already!

It's been three weeks of non stop MJ death news. It's on the news, it's on the web...isn't there anything else going on? I mean sure, he was a pretty great musician and I can remember listening to his records when I was a wee little one, but enough is enough.

Just had to get that off my back.

Preparing for Winter

Trying to pay for as little wood as possible this winter. We've started collecting dead fall.

Vacation, part 2

Also spent some time in Cape May, NJ. Went birding then hung on the beach. Another great time. Here are some pics.

Had the past week and a half off. Nice to get a break. Dan and I had a lot of fun. Here are some pics to document the good times of the first part of the vacation.

Save PA State Parks!

Hey all. Just read on Dirt Rag's blog that PA is planning on cutting funding by $19million to the Dept of Conservation and Nat'l Resources. This means they would be forced to close down 35 state parks!

If you live in PA and care at all about keep out state parks open, please follow this link and send a letter to your local rep. The link will take you to Dirt Rag's blog where they have a link to find your local rep and a sample email to send.

UPDATE!

Dan found the bat this morning. Think the cats thought he (and i do mean HE, check that thing out!) was a new toy for them.

R.I.P our little batty friend.
