There's Naan Left!!

I tried to think of a creative title:)  This weekend was pretty relaxing.  Since Thursday night we have watched 3 movies, and they were actually good!  Thursday night we watched "Lincoln Lawyer" which was about a defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln.  Saturday night we watched "The Adjustment Bureau" which I really liked!  It was about the path in life we are meant to be on and what happens when someone deviates from that path.  Then, today we saw "Captain America" in 3-D, which was cute.  I actually liked it much more than I expected!

Now on to the reason for my post title!  Last night we had Indian food, chicken tikka with rice and naan bread.  I was in charge of the naan bread, it was easy and it turned out well!  If I say something is easy to make, then trust me, it's easy to make!  I will admit David does most of the cooking in our house.  All I did was mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and vegetable oil.  Then I kneaded it for about 10 minutes and let it rise for an hour.
After I let it rise, I rolled it out with a rolling pin into 6 pieces of bread.  Then, before putting it in the oven I put cilantro on top and sprayed it with extra virgin olive oil.  The oven was set on broil and I had the pan in the oven heating up before I put the bread in the oven.  The bread only takes a minute in the oven.






 Here is a picture of our dinner.  David made the chicken and rice of course.  Dinner turned out well.  But, to be honest, the thing I hate about eating Indian at home is the smell.  Our kitchen still smells like dinner last night 24 hours later!



Tomorrow is my 30th birthday, I don't care what anyone says.....30 is NOT the new 20.  For some reason, birthdays seem to loose their charm when you get older and don't have a "fun" birthday party to look forward to like you do when you are a little kid.
