Creativity & Cooking

I'm currently sitting in the eating nook of my kitchen with a loaf of beer bread baking in the oven, content after a productive, creative day.  This morning I made a burlap wreath using this tutorial.  Pictures to follow.

Sunday evening Michael and I made this curry and coconut milk soup.  Amazing.  We added sauteed tofu as well as green beans.  We also used a wonderful broth found at Big Lots costing fifty cents for a 32 ounce box.  It's College Inn Culinary Broth, Thai Coconut Curry.  Perfect as the broth in this soup.  The Maesri cans of curry paste also work well as the curry.  (Just don't use too much!)

So good.



On another note, one year ago today, Michael asked me to marry him.  We were on the beach in Charleston, SC and, at sunrise, after worship and communion together, he got down in front of me as I sat on his guitar case and asked me if I would marry him (after he waited for the shirtless man to pass by because I asked him to).  Of course I said yes (in a less discernible way on account of my emotions) and we got married June 12th.

The morning we got engaged.

This evening, I asked him to stop by the store to pick up some cheese (I wanted to have it with the bread that I was planning on making but didn't tell him that).  He did and he bought me flowers too.  (Though neither of us had necessarily remembered since this morning that this was the one year anniversary of our engagement.) 

My lovely flowers.

Also, since I wrote the beginning of this post, the beer bread came out of the oven and most of it has been eaten.  It was delicious.

Mmmm.
