One of our favorite dishes that Shirin makes is a red lentil soup that is pureed and fragrantly spiced. Every time she makes it I ask her for the recipe. Since she pretty much just throws it together by the seat of her pants she kindly tried to measure out each ingredient and I dictated into my phone, so now I have it!
So many vegetables go into this soup but at the end they disappear into an orange puree of heaven.
She also made a berry cobbler, again by the seat of her pants. Her grandmother would be impressed.
Here she is making a salad from all the fresh produce they bought at the Farmer's Market. Earl found an excellent viewing position inside the kitchen cabinet.
You can just see the tuft of his tail. The "lion cut" he sports is so cute, even if it is just to prevent another hospitalization to remove a giant hair ball from his stomach.
Gabriel was giving this laptop a good tune up. You can see the boys' sticker chart on the wall behind him as well as a painting Shirin did in the past. Cyrus tried to sell it to me.
Saeed couldn't wait for dinner to be ready and slurped on one of the peaches from the Farmer's Market.
Meanwhile the boys were playing Battle Ship. Kai was pretty sure Cyrus wasn't on the up and up in regards to his missile hits.
Love the concentration... and the bandaid.
Kai was still wearing the dragon costume from the play. Obviously he played the part of the dragon.
Atticus is back in his collar due to food allergies. If he gets even just one morsel of the other kitties' chicken he scratches himself raw. Doesn't stop him from being very loving though. I was just minding my own business at the kitchen table when he jumped up and slammed his face into my face for a good schmoozle, collar or no collar. He doesn't let it slow him down.
So where the heck was Satin this whole time? I decided to find out. I found him sleeping on top of a suitcase in the bedroom.
Wha....? What was that flash? As soon as I left he went back to sleep.
