Cross Cultural Dinner and Birds!

Warning: wacky font alert! I was having some challenges with blogger and I guess the end result turned out to be some crazy sizing. Sorry about that!

I don't think I've ever had Argentinian food. Just some Argentian wine. So I wasn't sure what to expect with this dinner. This is the Argentinian Style Seitan Steak from Vegan Fire and Spice. Really, really easy. On the side are the Roasted Potatoes and Peppers (same cookbook, but the Italy section). The broccoli is tossed with a little of the leftover marinade. This is one of those no-effort dinners that really delivers. The hardest part was watching the seitan in the oven!

A couple of days ago we had the Curry from VwaV. I know that's not the real name, but you know what I mean. We subbed cauliflower for the broccoli. So good! Cauliflower and Curry are a match made in alliterative and epicurean heaven. There really is seitan under there. It's like buried treasure!

Check out this happy little bonus shot. Just when I had decided our wreath on the front door had seen better days, some birds decided it looked like the perfect home. They're right. It's really sheltered and we never use our front door. This isn't just any nest, by the way. It's partly made with spaghum moss. They're actually 5 eggs in there! Mom, if you're reading this and can identify them, please let me know. They're blue with brown specks . I'm looking forward to the happy little family. The hummingbirds are hitting the back feeders, too, so all is jumping on the nature front.

Yes, I really did end every paragraph with an exclamation point. That's just who I am!
