Jenny and I went to a ladies cooking night a couple of weeks ago.  We had a lot of fun. The lady from the church that taught the class owns a business where she teaches and hosts parties for businesses and individuals. So she had everything set out specifically in sections for each recipe and had recipes there. We broke off into pairs to make different parts of the meal and then enjoyed the feast at the end. Jenny was assigned to the cucumber carrot salad with yogurt sauce and I was assigned the naan bread. the other parts of the meal were a vegetable curry, Tikka Masala and a mung bean dish. Everything was really good.

you can tell the tikka masala was good!

we finished the meal off with a mango yogurt dessert!

This evening Jenny and I are making our own batch of the chicken and cucumber salad. We are going to eat it with Roti bread (like we used to have in Penang) that I found at the Asian market here.  Yum!

Last Saturday we took a short day trip to take Jenny to Ballenberg. It is a giant farm museum with farm buildings representing the regions of Switzerland. We barely got through a 4th of it because it was so big. They have bread-making, farm animals, old homes, displays of traditional Swiss farm fashion…they most certainly did not call it farm fashion but you get the idea, carpentry, pottery and on and on. If you are interested in learning more about it here is the site.

Here are some pictures from our day….

The highlight of the day for Owen was playing with the cowbells
