Domesticated

Most of my recent posts have been about being outdoors, but don't think that all is not well on the home front. Jenny and I have joined a cooking co-op comprised of a group of 10 Whitehorse friends. Once a month, everybody gets together and exchanges frozen meals in meat, chicken, veggie, soup, and baked goods categories. So for the next few weeks, we have a bunch of ready made meals in the freezer. Of our new meals, we've only tried a tasty dahl and chickpea curry, and lasagna will be next.

We made enough Indian Jambalaya to feed 40 people.
In order to join the cooking co-op, we needed more freezer space to keep a mound of food. I looked in the newspaper for a used freezer, but my search was unsuccessful and we ended up having to buy a new, small (3.6 cu ft) freezer. What I did find in the paper was a lady selling this gorgeous philodendron. I've liked these plants ever since seeing Marcie's and Dwayne's. They wouldn't be nearly as cool if they lacked the holes (the leaves that is, not Marcie and Dwayne).

Good find! Ours is in the process of being air layered (aka "cut-back"). In the end it will be much shorter than the current 6 feet, but it will be bushier.
