Husband and I have agreed that if I'm working part-time and caring for Baby the rest of the time, I will attempt to be the Good Little Indian Wife he thought he married. For those of you who know me, you know that's an insane request. I am Good, I am Little, I am Indian and I am his Wife...but that combination of words does not usually come up when anyone is describing me. My father asked him if he knew what he was getting himself into when he asked for my hand in marriage, therefore he made an informed decision.
Now that Baby is sleeping for longer stretches and sometimes even at night, I have more time to tend to other things like vacuuming, picking up around the house, cooking and regular showers! We're trying to plan a weekly menu and divvy up the cooking duties. Tonight was my night to make a Vegetarian Crock Pot Curry. I got the recipe from Stephanie O'Dea's blog - A Year of Slow Cooking. It seemed easy enough to adapt to whatever's on hand. Somehow it turned out a little too tomato-ey, but still yummy. I added more yogurt than indicated and used V8 Hot and Spicy which could have accounted for the too much tomato sensation in my mouth. Overall, not so bad for my second attempt at crock pot cooking.
While searching for easy dinner recipes, I learned that I can make desserts like walnut brownies or even some kind of apple/pear thingy. I'm all over that this weekend while Husband is on a No Girls Allowed Ski Trip.

crock-pot cooking is so awesome, i am shocked that Indian (in India) people have not discovered it yet. what's better than throwing a bunch of stuff in a pot, forgetting about it for 6 hours and then having a delicious meal?
