okra: I'm So Full

I had a great time cooking with Jessica tonight. We made the eggplant rice together, plus she brought a lot of delicious things with her. She brought some spicy samosas, naan bread, tea, mango chutney, special tangy yogurt, and a whole assortment of ice creams for dessert. Oh man, I'm sooo full.

Jessica is amazingly efficient at cutting up things, I suppose she gets a lot practice making sushi. I mostly mixed spices together and made rice, and such. She did all of the chopping and stirred the eggplant mixture while it was sauteing. She also mixed the yogurt in with a little cucumber, tomato, and some spices; oh man it turned out good. When it was all done, we had a table full of delicious food. After dinner, we had to wait a little while for dessert, since we were stuffed. We went outside to see the chickens. We fed them blueberries and watched them run around. We also spent some time playing with the cats and talking. After awhile, we decided it would be ok to try some dessert. My favorite was an ice cream with cashews and raisins in it, but we also had some very good mochi ice cream in red bean and chocolate flavors. What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday night, with a great friend and some great food.
