Who’s getting excited for Halloween?
Who wants to color!?
How about these cute, costumed, yellow spotted snails?
(More Halloween coloring from last year here).
Oh, and who wants to win a free book this weekend? If you’re thinking “me, of course” then don’t forget to send in an Ingvar photo by Sunday to enter.

I’ve been working away on a super-sweet project so Ki made a simple dinner last night– really good red beans, fresh tomatoes, salad, and roasted pak choy (sometimes called “Chinese cabbage”… similar to bok choy). Oh, and some red wine too.
Since the beans were really, really tasty I asked Ki for the recipe. The quantities are flexible, but here’s the jist:
Really Good Red Beans
Soak a mixture of kidney and adzuki beans overnight. Drain and rinse. Cook in vegetable broth. In a separate pot, temper equal quantities of whole cumin and fennel seeds in coconut oil. Add diced red onion and minced ginger and saute until slightly browned/softened. Stir in garam masala and sea salt. Add mixture to prepared beans and simmer. Taste for salt and spice. Yum!
