Well it has been a while for the update...

Things have been busy around here even if it isn't obvious. We have walls (well mostly) and they are mostly the color they should be. The animals are feeling more comfortable too.

I did the floor myself and it doesn't even look bad... Look appliances... Still need to finish the trim, the pantry, the lighting, the floor, and paint the cabinets... OK so a lot to get done, but I can use this kitchen

Filing: 3 chicken thighs 1.5 c soy curls 1 c celery diced 1 c carrots diced 1 c onion diced 1 leek approx 1/2c chopped 1.5 cans coconut milk 22.5 oz 3 russet potatoes 2 tbls olive oil 2 tbls flour 1 tbls better than boullion no chickn base 1 tbls herbs de provance 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp white pepper Pinch of salt Fresh ground pepper to taste Because I am making this for two different diets I cook the chicken away from everything. Boil chicken in salted water for 10 to 12 m...
