costumes and cooking

i spent a large part of the past two days helping my friend sew costumes for a show she's doing, while chanda spent the days at a friend's house. she had  given herself specific chapters to complete in her math workbook, but i don't think it's been accomplished . . yet.     


this evening we made a new meal . . chanda had picked out a recipe from giada's feel good food . .


vegetable rolls with chili yogurt sauce . .


it called for rice wraps, lettuce, fish sauce (but i just mixed a few anchovies in with thai red curry paste as i had both in the pantry), buckwheat soba noodles, red and yellow peppers and carrots.

the vegetables were mixed with the curry paste and yogurt and then placed on the lettuce leaf with noodles . . and then all were rolled up with the rice wrapper.

it held together rather well.

they looked pretty and the taste was an interesting mix of pungent and sweet.

it was so hot that we went out for a walk afterwards and were glad to feel the cool air from the water.

nighttime sky . . at home we sat and sewed costumes for my friend while watching the end of star wars, episode v, and then back to the future . . so we went to bed kind of late.
