za&'ren

Last night, I made pizza! I topped two small commercial whole wheat crusts with:
. a thin layer of organic crushed tomatoes
. a mixture of chopped onions, walnuts, garlic, and shrooms tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper
. capers
. grated mozzarella cheese

The zas were very tall and very tasty. We probably could have eaten just one had there been a side salad, but instead, we ate one and a half. Hmmm... who will get the leftovers?

Tonight, we were running low on fresh vegetables, BUT we had a bunch of carrots in the fridge, just begging to be eaten. We also have an incredible surplus of grated coconut in the freezer. So we made Carrot Thoren -- that yummy coconut curry dish usually made with long green vegetables (beans, asparagus, chopped cabbage). Tonight, we made it with long orange vegetables and added peas for color and protein. One-quarter cup of coconut down, and jars more to go...
