self portrait with chia coffee

Here I am in my kitchen right now taking photos and making up recipes. It's just so hot outside! I've waited five minutes, and it's still hot ;-) So I made up another coffee drink, and I think it's pretty sweet. My hubby came up from his office downstairs and gave it a big thumbs up too. It isn't frozen, but the chia seeds make it nice and thick. It would also be great with a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

For dinner tonight we're having coconut curry inspired by Nepal's, based on the curry recipe in my cookbook on page 135. All I did was leave out the broth and substitute more coconut milk. I also doubled the recipe because I love the sauce so much I could just drink it :-)

Now off to read Betsy Tacy with my girls.
