Today the weather was so good. It was not so cold or very hot in the morning. So we (myself and anush) decided to go with Shoj to the place where he usually takes our waste stuff to recycle.
On our way to the recycle place, we saw farm produce veggies for sale. We parked the car to buy some of the fresh veggies and eggs.
Anush enjoyed being there because he saw cat, dog, hen, goat, cow all raised by the farm produce owner. We also got some fresh cow's milk and I prepared yogurt out of it.........we enjoyed the whole time being there.
When we returned home I smelled some nice curry from some where, probably from my neighbor’s house, so decided to make spicy lamb curry.
