This week has flown by. Lots of the usual going on which means busy days filled with teaching classes, cooking, playdates, playground time, laundry, dishes, cleaning and meal planning. An iphoto dump coming tomorrow.

One dinner this week was a thrown together Thai night.

I would say it came together pretty well. This dinner actually had two parts but I left the second part out because it was Trader Joe’s Red Curry over lentils (fabulous combo!!).
