Kevin and Tesla Cat arrived yesterday. Our house was again filled with “tech talk” some of which I could actually follow. Kevin is developing ways for several robots to share information using gum-stick computers. It’s great having everyone home. Of course we all miss Freddy, but he is keeping in touch by phone and blog.
Once of the best things about having so many Barrys together is meal planning, cooking and eating. I had a plan and the ingredients and quickly put the kids to work assembling spring rolls. There was much laughter as they learned spring roll technique. Carolyn claimed the title of best assembler as she ate the evidence of less then perfect specimens.
Janet’s college roommate Avita joined us for dinner. Along with spring rolls we had bean and kale soup and Mexican Christmas salad with roasted beets. Dinner conversation centered on food, school, travel and family, a very typical Barry dinner.
Tonight we are taking Pat out for his birthday and good family conversation. This is what it’s all about!

Dinner was excellent! I wanted to thank you all again :) I hope you have a happy birthday Pat!
Pam: My mom sent me an email with directions on making chutney.. hopefully this will help!!
1.) One bunch of cilantro
2.) Cut off the bottom
3.) Rinse thoroughly with water.
4.) Next put it in the blender
5.) Add salt 1/4 tsp
6.) half lemon juice (I think she means half of the juice from an actual lemon - give or take for taste)
7.) 1/4 tsp of sugar
8.) 1/4 tsp jeera (cumin seeds)
9.) 1 small pepper or jalapeno
10.) 1 clove garlic
Then blend & Enjoy :)
As always you can add more or less salt for taste. Let me know how it turns out!
