Today was Indian Pow Wow/Brown day at school. The egg roll was very excited about going decked out in her brown finest. Thanks to our sweet friend 'R' we had a very cute brown shirt to wear. We tried Indian braids. We will see how long they lasted. Have a wonderful Thursday at your house!

Love this look of surprise...

Basketball and the Frog

The Frog is serious about basketball. I am so proud of her. She had a great game! It's tough to have your Daddy as the coach too. You go girl~~~~ Oh and they did win!~

The Frog and Mom's new favorite soup:

Asian Ginger Broth
4 TB finely minced ginger
3 TB finely minced garlic
2 TB canola oil
Combine ingredients in a pot and saute for 5 minutes
6 TB corn starch
2 cups cold water
Combine ingredients and whisk to dissolve
14 cups water
6 TB Vegetarian base or chicken broth
Add ingredients to pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Try with sliced green onions, shredded carrots, chopped spinach leaves, sliced mushrooms, and soft wheat or rice noodles.(We suppose that you could use cooked rice too) You can also use thinly sliced beef ( put into boiling broth to cook).

PS. We saw this recipe on a fellow blogger's blog and fell instantly in love. We have to give credit where credit is due!

November.......

“What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” MotherTeresa
