Well, there is a LOT of change going on in our house these days! Garren finally got his letter telling us the date of his immigration interview! Hello April 16, 2012!! HAPPY DAY! After that, we will have to wait 6 - 8 weeks for his PR card to come through and then, follks, he can work!! It's been a long wait, and let me tell you, this man was NOT made to sit at home! But Praise God we are almost finished! It has been a year of stretching, learning, growing, forgiving and understanding, but God is faithful and we made it through! Now we can start making plans to move forward. It has felt like a long year, but at the same time, realizing that we're now at the end makes me realize just how quickly it all passed. My baby boy is three, my baby girl is one and a half, my husband will be 30 this year (and I won't.. hahaha!) ... but we finally get to take steps that feel like they are moving us forward. [insert sigh of relief here]
Speaking of moving forward, I am trying out a new GF recipe today... true to form, its not a North American dish... it's an Asian dish... I find that cooking GF is a LOT easier if I am open to world cooking. So tonight I plan on making Pakora ... basically, vegetable battered in chickpea flour and fried.. okay, not the healthiest food on the planet, but I LOVE Indian food! So do Garren and the kids.. we all could live on curry for the rest of our lives! Okay, I might need some sweet and sour in there somewhere, and maybe some Thai food... but really, I just LOVE ethnic food! I'm also going to try out something else I read on a blog over the last few days, called Chickpea Fries... basically equal parts chickpea flour and water, then add the spices of your choice (I'll be adding Curry)... pour out onto a baking sheet and cool in the fridge until firm... then cut into "fries" and either fry or bake... we'll see what cooking method I decide on... I don't know yet. Then I've got to come up with a dipping sauce for both. I am torn between a chutney and a aoli ... maybe I'll do both, it just depends on how much time i have this evening.
Anyway, just a quick post, I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow!!
