Monday:
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day- no school!
- Went to Walmart to get the oil changed in Rita and do some errands
- Lunch
- Watched "Up" with Alan- great movie by the way- totally recommend it!
- Ordered Select Blinds for the last two rooms in the house
- Alan went and picked up threshold wood strips (the strip that connects tile to wood, etc)
- Moroccan Chicken Stew for dinner: instructions- Deskin and lightly flour 4 chicken thighs. In a skillet, brown the thighs, remove and put on a plate. In the same skillet, heat garlic and onions in oil, then add about 1 T of cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and ginger and heat for about 1 minute. Add 16 oz of tomato puree, 1/4 cup honey, and salt to taste. Cover. Add chicken back in for about 10 minutes. Then, add 1 can of rinsed and drained chickpeas, 1 green and 1 red bell pepper diced, and about 1/2 cup golden raisins. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice or orzo topped with fresh parsley and almonds. Yum!!!!! Maybe I'll take a picture later.
- Alan made hummus for small group while I was making dinner- it was super delicious, especially with our fresh cilantro.
- Small group- refreshing and fun, as usual. Spoke with Bob about updates on our house. (We've been getting back into house fixing mode again). Thus, this picture was spurred:
Any ideas on what to do with the white giant in the corner? We've got to do something with our patched together kitchen- random washer/dryer + portable dishwasher. Anyone have any ideas? Feel free to send us drawings, thoughts, prayers, etc or lend us your handy talents/ friends' handy talents/recommendations of friends with handy talents... Thanks...

what if you enclosed the washer and dryer in a little cabinet thing? because there are some random cabinets above them that are going unused anyway...?
and i made Moroccan chicken stew the other day. it was a little weird... but charlie loved it! i need to try it that way maybe.
