Chapatosaur… arrrhh!

Josh couldn’t find his clay set and was pretty upset so had to use some atta flour instead and toaster… The chapatosaur smelt good to eat after it was toasted.

Chapatis and global warming

Help Solve the Climate Crisis

(from “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore)

  • Neutralize your remaining emissions
  • Don’t waste paper
  • Carry a refillable beverage bottle
  • Modify your diet to eat less meat
  • Buy things that last
  • Pre-cycle — reduce before you buy
  • Vote with your dollars
  • Support an environmental group
  • Telecommute from home

I have more or less excluded meat from my diet and since these are the hols, I have decided to go on a chapati and dahl diet…

I bought some atta flour and boiled some dahl. It was Japanese curry and rice for josh, matt and jen. But they took a bit of my rotis and were hooked instantly. I had to roll more chapatis. Josh and matt were entertained by some dough. Interestingly, atta flour is pretty darn cheap - $1.40 for a large packet.
