So today did not start out swimmingly. I woke up with Darren telling me that I should get a bottle of water if I was going to brush my teeth. Our water turns brown from time-to-time. They say it’s because the city is flushing the pipes, but I have never seen the water this dark before. When Darren called to make sure the problem had been reported, he was told it was particularly bad because the pipes had not been flushed for three years due to the drought conditions. I know for a fact that it has not been three years since we have had brown water, but perhaps there could be some other cause. So no shower, brush teeth and wash hands with bottled water, inconvenient but not tragic.
For lunch we had Baby Bok Choy and Shiitake Mu Shu wraps. It was to be a mu shu-style filling served in a wrap. I really enjoyed the flavors of this recipe,
but next time I think I will make an extra effort to seek out mu shu wraps, instead of using your run-of-the-mill whole wheat wraps. I also concocted an asian flavor potato salad as a side. Darren made an Asian vinaigrette with ginger and soy sauce and I drizzled it over warm potatoes. The taste was great, but it was brown in color and not visually appealing.
After work we went to pick up our veggies at Athens Locally Grown. Some of the fun things we bought were a pound of edamame for 
freezing, butter beans, walking onions, broccoli, butter head lettuce, and aji dulce peppers. I have not posted about the impounding and destruction of 110 gallons of raw milk, that was initiated at last week’s pick-up. While I do feel very strongly about the rights that are being infringed upon, I am not informed enough about the subject to feel that I could give it the representation that it deserves. A situation that I will be rectifying. It was nice to get a chance to speak to Eric about his recent trials. He appears to be feeling some relief that the initial confrontation has passed, but did talk of battles still to be waged. This is his accounting of what went down and the video of the milk being destroyed.
The last time we ate at Taste of India, I vowed to start cooking more Indian foods. Tonight for dinner I made Chana Masala, a chick pea and mushroom dish loaded with all the typical Indian peppers and spices. I am still a recovering bland-food-o-holic and thought it was a bit spicy, even though I did not put in the whole serrano. Also I think that cooked out too much of the moisture, it should have been a bit saucier. Darren seemed exceeding pleased and praised the dish to a fault (I think I need to start upping my spice quotient 
) Well, it is a learning experience I will keep trying.
