Aloo gobi

I made two platters of aloo gobi for the neighborhood potluck.  But left out the dundicutt peppers since there are no Indian folks here.

I just used regular dried red chilis. My eyes are still watering after cooking it for 1.5 hrs.

Dollhouse

This is the dollhouse the kids Great Aunt sent to them.  It's HUGE.

And has just a ton of stuff that dollhouses need (pets, cutlery, furniture, carpets etc.)

Unfurnished picture.  They are still squabbling over what furnishings go in each room.

They wish they were 5 inches tall so they could live in their doll house.

Maybe a mouse will move in.

We have to keep it covered when we're not around so that jealous Blucher does not visit his jealous wrath upon it.

Today he got disliked the attention the inflatable pool toys were getting (in the pool) so he popped them.

A boatload of beer. Literally.
