Enough rain already

Yesterday was a great day to stay inside and study. I am also working on a new project - an organic garden for Adelante Dual Language Academy in San Jose. While setting up interviews for Patty James from Shine The Light on America's Kids, I was asked by the principal if I would be interested in helping the school with their small garden. It didn't take me more than 2 seconds to say yes!

I am thankful that I grew up on an apricot ranch and my parents always had a wonderful garden full of: tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, onions, garlic, cucumbers and those ugly horn worms. There is nothing better than picking fresh vegetables and eating them right off the vines.

Is this another distraction? Could be, but I will just have to time manage myself so that I can study and work on this project.

By the way, I made a very delicious soup the other day - leftover steamed broccoli and butternut squash with a coconut curry sauce. I added roasted squash and onions and some chicken stock, then blended until smooth. Topped it off with a bit of Greek yogurt, cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds. Yum!
