If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! [UPDATED]

I'm absolutely THRILLED to have found a copy of this book at one of the local book stores.

It has lots of almond-flour based recipes in it. It also has lots of honey in it, which is a shame, but I'm hoping most of the recipes will still work either without honey or with Stevia instead. Here's hoping! Wish me luck!

I think I'm going to try and make almond-flour crepes for lunch today. I have some sandwich makings to go inside as a wrap. Wahoo!

I'm also excited to try this flax bread recipe. I just have to get my hands on some flax that hasn't gone off. Did you know that flax is bitter if it has started to go rancid? That's why my pizza kept coming out bitter!

[UPDATE: I made the crepes and had an almost normal lunch! They were good, but they broke apart a little easily. Maybe because there was no honey/sugar?]

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
