Inventing new stuff whole-cloth...

[sarahmichelef]

I volunteered to bring a bulgur dish to the Purim party we went to on Friday so that I'd be guaranteed some core grains to eat.  Initially I was going to do something with cranberries and walnuts, but then this morning Corey told me that her mom is bringing couscous with cranberries and pecans... So I assessed the fridge and came up with the following bulgur pilaf (serves... lots... probably 12 or so servings in here):

1 T olive oil
~2T fresh thyme
1/2 c diced onion
1/2 c diced red bell pepper
3 T chopped walnuts
2 C bulgur
3 C boiling H20

I sauteed all the "dry" ingredients for about a minute, then added the boiling water.  Simmered it 'til all the liquid was absorbed.  Supertasty warm, cold, and reheated.  Yay!

Yum.

So, do you have any pictures of TRex from Purim?

Sadly, no, but I think my friend took some. She wore the same thing as at Halloween.

ah, I recall being blown over in October. My kids wor their halloween costumes as well. In the category of "its great to be Jewish", you get to amortize the cost of the halloween costume over at least two holidays! (In TRex's case, we just get to admire the handiwork again)

Yeah, my Laurel does some very fine work, doesn't she? We do love re-using the costumes, and they get worn for dress-up often as well. Hooray for kids with extravagant imaginations!
