Ruth's Kitchen

Last night we had our 2nd women's outreach night.  This time the theme was an itnernational restuarant.  I was silly enough to volunteer to make the main course -- an Indian curry.
Normally I cook curry once a week so I was confident I could do it.  This last week I got a couple of practices in.  I was planning on doing a mild butter chicken because Ukrainian's dont really like too spicy food.

Well, I spent the morning cutting up chicken, ginger, garlic etc.  Then the afternoon with onions (& crying my eyes out) and trying to mix all the spices, chicken & sour cream together.  We were cooking for 50 people, so I ended up preparing it in a laundry bowl!  2 woks later I still hadnt cooked it all, so another saucepan was also needed.  I think it tasted ok, some people liked it...but I might just keep to home cooking for awhile, and after the whole day on my feet my heels were killing me...bed never felt so good!

91 year old example

Just found out that our 91 year old friend has passed on to Glory.
She was an amazing example of living life to the full, friendliness, godliness and had a great sense of humour.
We are really glad we got to see her when we were in NZ last year.

She was a grandmother to our youth group.

She even visited me after my operation!
She will be missed by many!
Thanks Beth for being our friend. :-)

Long facebook status

I have decided that instead of writing an epistle for my facebook status I should really do updates here.
Although the sporadic nature of my updates were I thought rather aloof and classy I will lean toward the pragmatic and resolve to update my blog more regularly.
Monday was women's day and a day off. So we took the chance to lay our carpet upstairs (we thought this day would never come!) and the attempted to try to get our couch up there. Easier said than done. After many illogical thoughts and ideas we managed to dissamble it not too much and get it up there. The view is beautiful from up there so any excuse to sit on the couch is taken!
Also really enjoyed watching "Julie and Julia" after our days work although we did have to sit on the floor now our couch was upstairs!
So great start to the week. Last night we hate two huge stupid cats (or should I say mini horses) outside making horrible noises so we attempted to creep up on them with a jug of water. Wasn't really all that successful. Our little cats just sit there. They need to start defending our territory!
