So much yum in this pan. Dinner last night had it all: chick peas, greens, tomato, onion and garlic... plus, every Indian spice you can think of. I added a handful of currants too for a sweet surprise. That was a smart move - delish.
You really can't go wrong with food like this.
Recipe adapted from Isa's Chickpea and Spinach Curry in Vegan With A Vengeance. I swapped the called for spinach with collard greens, upped the tomatoes, and added currants. I think the rest was pretty much the same.

When I moved out of my childhood home nearly twenty years ago, I brought my Smurf collection with me. They are just about the only childhood toy(s) I still have. Well, it was the seventies - there weren't too many toys to be had! We could make an entire day out of a hand me down bicycle or a newly discovered spot in the woods. I do remember one Christmas though, when under the tree was a ceramic tea set and a play kitchen set made out of metal. I think it was avocado green and had Holly Hobbie on the front. That was quite an extravagant year!
Anyway... the Smurfs come out just once a year, during the Holiday season. They are packed away with our decorations, and make their silly appearance each December along with special ornaments, tree toppers, stockings, and twinkly lights. I'm not sure which is stranger; the fact that I still display my childhood Smurf collection, or that we call these little creatures Christmas decorations! Strange or not, it sure is a tradition around here.

As we anxiously await the season's first real snow storm, a pretty dusting was quite nice to wake up to this morning. It sure does add to the festivities! Emily is having a few girlfriends over tonight for a viewing of Elf and some homemade macaroni and cheese... a little snow sets the stage beautifully.

Finally, all is merry and bright. Today we hope to add a little sparkle and shine to the homeschool room... it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I don't cut into into the vintage feedsack collection too easily. For this person though, it was effortless. A perfect match, my feedsack and her gift... I'm so excited to give this one.
