Los Flemings

Saturday's project was recycling an old shipping pallet into a box for what had become a not so attractive compost pile in our garden. So we bundled up on a chilly morning and went to work.

Sam found the dismantling of the pallet to be his favorite part. He helped to pull nails and push on the pry bar. This part proved to be more work than I'd anticipated and actually took more time than it did to put the pieces back together into a box. Below is a picture of the finished product.




To reward our hard work we decided to eat out and explore one of the many Indian restaurants Cary has to offer. After being turned away from one by a long wait we found a gem at Biryani House in a little shopping center right around the corner from our house specializing in Pakistani food. The highlight were Sam's kabobs - ground, spicy chicken pressed onto a metal skewer and cooked in a brick oven. The tandoori chicken was not so spicy and also popular. I chose to try the Saturday night special stew of mutton and potatoes. Mame and I were impressed with how much Sam liked the spicy flavors. He took a sample of everything. Then for desert we just walked across the parking lot to an ice cream parlor owned by the same family.
