pets

When I was enjoying spring break I mentioned in a post that I was doing an interview at an animal shelter for an article I was writing. I realized that I forgot to share my experience!

I headed to an animal shelter about 20 minutes from my home and interviewed the manager.

I also walked around and took pictures of all of the dogs and cats.

That’s pretty much all that went down. I was just so excited because it was one of my first big “assignments” from the school paper (i’m a dork). The article is now published on the website and it is going to be in the print edition of the paper at the end of March. Exciting :]

Speaking of animals and pets…. it has been pet city in the Smith house.

Ahhh. Good times.

Do you have pets?
(My family has 2 dogs, a cat, and a kitten. Sometimes I wish we had more pets.. I know-crazy!)

I went to the grocery store last week and saw it. The coconut milk. It is one of those things I always look at and think about cooking with, but never buy. I finally decided to buy it and cook with it!

It’s no secret in my house that I adore curry. Pretty much no one else does. Fine, more for me ;). I decided to make coconut -curried chicken and vegetables for dinner.

I popped open a can of coconut milk and got to work. First, I marinated the chicken for an hour with olive oil, curry, lime juice, garlic powder, and coconut milk. After marinating, I plopped the chicken in a hot skillet and cooked it in more coconut milk.
