Our favorite restaurant in the Petaluma area is Namaste Kitchen. The best Indian food ever. We have been ordering the same thing for the last year (or so it seems) – saag paneer, chicken korma, and garlic naan. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
This evening, I decided to change things up a bit and cooked my first Indian dish at home. Chicken tikka masala. I used this recipe. It may not be authentic, but it was simple to fix and really, really tasty.
When my husband came home, he said, “it smells like Namaste in here”. Hehe. *grin*

Oh, and I received an another order via Etsy – yay!
On their way to the Netherlands….


This is one of my latest illustrations and now for sale as a square note card with a raspberry-colored envelope – take a look in my shop.
It could pair up nicely with homemade bath salts, soaps, or tea samples. A spa gift certificate, perhaps?
What do you think?

Also, an updated thank you note:

….are the best! Thank you, Husband!



…and choose from any three!


My shop is now open!
Wow…I joined Etsy in 2007 and finally, the first three note card designs are now available. It is very, very modest and lacks a bit on information regarding policies and etc, but feel free to contact me at jenATpancakesfordinnerDOTcom with any questions or comment here. I have never done this before, so your feedback, thoughts and even criticism will be appreciated! I will post more designs and updates soon so please keep checking back.
Alfalfa-haired boy plus mushroom-head girl. *grin* I have been on this illustration kick lately. It is a nice change of scenery. Paper versus the notebook, but here I am again (blogging this). I can’t seem to stay away for too long.
