Chocolate Pudding

I made chocolate pudding today. I changed a few ingredients from the caramel pudding. Since it is getting hotter these days, I feel like making a cold dessert.

I cooked keema curry today. First, I fried chopped onions, garlic, ginger, carrots, zucchini, green peppers and grounded meat. I then added cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, clove, nutmeg, peppers and soup stock. The curry was delicious with rice.

Ice Cream

I have wanted to have a triple-decker ice cream on a cone since I was child. The reason I never had this was that I was shy to ask a store person I guess. Luckily, I just made three different types of ice cream this week and they were still in my freezer so I decided make a triple-decker today. I used mint chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. While I was eating it, I dropped the ice cream on my T- shirt but I still really enjoyed it.

Red Sunset

We sometimes go for a walk in the evening. The sunset is often amazingly red. Here is picture of Andrew looking at the red sky over the lake. I didn't add any effects to this picture.
Here is some grass around the lake. They are taller than us.

Couscous

I made Tunisian-style couscous today. I don't have mixed spices "harissa" so I used coriander and turmeric instead. I had these ingredients at home: chicken, chick pees, zucchini, green peppers, onions, carrots and tomato paste.

Swimming

Today was the yearly swimming on the lake day for the local elementary school children.
The kids were swimming and adults helped them by swimming next to the kids and on boats.
There was one police boat in case of an accident.
All of the kids swam about 1 km safely to other side of the lake.
