Playgroup for May 3

Playgroup this week will be at Harmon Park across the street from the church. Bring your lunch, bikes, scooters, balls, whatever you want to have some fun!

A note for the next week at Memorial Park. It's probably going to be my last week doing playgroup because I'm moving to the far off land of Orem, so I wanted to throw myself a goodbye party since #1 I'm still in charge for one more week and can do so, #2 we haven't had a party in a while and #3 it's finally supposed to be WARM! So let's plan on doing a potluck lunch on May 10th at Memorial Park.

See you all tomorrow!

Sad but True

Almost done moving but, we are trying to finish clearing up the house in Provo and we have some things that we don't want anymore. We have a white twin bunk bed, my girls have written their names on it  and I think it might have a few stickers but its free. I also have a huge oak entertainment center. Free too. Email me at utahespinoza1@gmail.com and I can meet you at the Provo house.  I am up there a lot in the mornings and I am going over this evening  to clean and vacuum.  I also think Jason is going on Saturday to get the shed and the backyard stuff. We might be giving away the swingset also. I think.
What am I going to do without this ward?!

Playgroup for March 29

This week we will brave the outdoors and meet at Harmon Park across the street from the church (850 E 150 S) unless it's too cold, and then relocate to the church gym if needed. Bundle up (it's supposed to be a high of 50, but just in case) and bring your lunch if you want. For those of you who might not have been to this park, it has a sidewalk surrounding it which is good for bikes and scooters, so bring those if you want. See you all tomorrow!

Thai Pumpkin Soup

I made this for the Bonneville 5th Ward Relief Society Christmas party in December.

2 Tbsps vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small pumpkin, skinned & chopped into 1-inch chunks
2-1/4 c. water
1-2/3 c. canned coconut cream
1 Tbsp hot sweet Thai chili sauce (Maploy)
1 Tbsp lemon grass, finely chopped 
1 Tbsp fish sauce
freshly ground pepper
1/4 c. fresh cilantro
chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

In a large pot, heat oil and gently cook onion with brown sugar and garlic over low heat until softened (8-10 min). Add chopped pumpkin, water, coconut cream, chili, lemongrass or rind and fish sauce. Season with freshly ground pepper. Simmer for about 25 minutes until tender. Remove and puree until smooth. Just before serving, adjust seasoning to taste. Mix in chopped coriander. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a fresh coriander leaf.

*The same amount of grated lemon peel can be substituted.
