Robyn gave me this recipe and since I don't know where she got it I'll give her the credit for it. :) I was a little scared to try this at first. Our family loves soups, but I wasn't sure about the carrot and curry part. I was very pleased with how it turned out and we all really like it.
Combine and fry about 30 minutes or until soft:
2 med. onions, chopped
1 lb carrots, sliced
4 Tbsp. butter
Add 2 tsp curry powder and stir will.
Add 6 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil
Add 1/2 tsp lemon rind
1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
Simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Puree in a food processor. Serve with plain yogurt or sour cream.
Note: I am not sophisticated enough to have fresh ginger in my house so I just used ground ginger, but I imagine the fresh ginger would make it even better.

Snow!
Our church was canceled the this morning. Jeremy was scheduled to preach, so finding out that church was canceled felt a little bit like finding out we were having a surprise holiday. He took the boys outside for over 2 hours. This picture doesn't do the "hill" justice. Nate calls it "Daddy's Mountain". They all 3 had a great time. I enjoyed some a very quiet house.

Read at your own risk.
More snow! I know it's not nice to complain, but I am getting tired of all the snow. I love how it looks from inside and I wouldn't mind it if we never had to go out in it or drag kids out in it. Come to think of it we have no where to go until Sunday morning, so maybe I will sit back and enjoy it.
Do you ever get the notion to do something really random and dumb? Like just drive off of an exit to see where it will take you, or throw nutmeg into an omelet to see if anyone notices, or drink those little creamers? Lately, my crazy desire is to post something really dumb on facebook. Don't worry I won't do it because if I did it would probably come out rather negative and I'd end up offending all 214 of my friends.
I'm amazed at how much poop I see in a day or how much it gets my attention. With a new born, well you know how that is, and a 4 year old trained-but-can't-wipe-myself, you get the idea, and a 2 1/2 year old that has some serious constipation issues. Please, do you have any advise? He eats the same stuff his brother eats and let me tell you both bodies handle the same food in totally different ways. Please don't tell me to feed him prunes because we've tried. He'll eat them once in awhile, but is not fond of them. I'm tempted to make PW's prune cake for him, but then I'd eat half of it.
I'm thinking of making carrot soup (Robyn's recipe) for supper. I've never made it before. I can just about see the looks I'm going to get (no offense Robyn), but I'd still like to try it. Did I ever tell you about the time I made cream of celery soup? It sounded good and only had 5 ingredients. That should have been my first clue.
I am not a big fan of new year's resolutions. For myself that is. You can do what you like and I hope you succeed at it, but I have not done well in the past. I have been thinking (a lot of good that does) about trying to memorize scripture. I have decided to try this. I am already a month behind so I'm just starting with February. This is not a new years resolution. I hope to keep up, but I may not. If you are interested in joining me let me know. Maybe if someone else holds me to it I will be more motivated to stick with it. The radio program "The Joy of memorizing scripture" is excellent if you need some encouragement.
I'm off to take a nap.
