You will not find this recipe in any cookbook! This is what happens when you combine lots of CSA veggies with not much time or energy. Helps to have adventurous eaters. It's curry made with leeks, beets and tops, coconut milk and black beans. That's what was handy. We have been enjoying our fresh organic vegetables, but they have often been more than we can eat. I would like to have done more preserving, but just wasn't up to it this year. Liam is often not up for new veggies, but he will at least try most. Often they come right back out, but at least he tries.

Liam has been working hard at learning to use the potty. Just yesterday we went several hours and several trips to the potty without having to get new underwear! The downside is that Liam still refuses to poop in the potty, so he can get a little behind in pooping when he's working on potty training. He gets to watch extra TV, though while he's waiting for developments.

Liam's big passion lately has been tunnels. Allen was dubbed "Tunnel-man" because he built some big 'pooky tunnels out of the big blocks for Liam. This track has survived much longer than most tracks do around our house. The tunnels have been modified and become parking spaces for small cars as you may be able to see in the picture.

We have also been continuing our project of learning Chinese. This has mostly involved play dates with Chinese friends, but we have also been watching a few online videos. This morning Liam was looking out the kitchen window at the neighbor's fall decorations. When he said, "Beaufitul flowers" I said, "Can you say beautiful in Chinese?" He said, "Beaufitul in Chinese."
