Surprisingly, Como Se (Llama) has a new friend in romper room. We missed the show, but this morning the umbilical cord was still wet. Oh I hope they are both girls, but nevertheless, it’s name has to be Carl. (LLamas in Hats on Youtube.) I am relieved that it was not born this winter, now … Continue reading
I use some of the techniques from the Not-so-quick Rajanthanu flatbreads which are stuffed with cilantro, garam masala… They take forever, and don’t puff up like a balloon, which makes these fun.

Her calf is due Aug. 16th and so to have her dry two full months before her due date, she must be dry by June 16th. It still breaks … Continue reading
