One of my favourite quick snacks when want something spicy to munch on:

- Mix chilli, salt, coriander and cumin powder in a bowl to taste
- Toss some cashews in a well  heated pan with minimal oil and lightly brown.
- Add spices and mix till aroma releases, remove pan from heat.

Cool slightly before eating.

Anne Of Green Gables

One of my favourite books still readable today as an adult.  Started reading this to my 10 year old daughter, she is more than capable of reading to herself, just fun to read out aloud together at times. Was thrilled that she is enjoying this novel also.

Love the series by Lucy Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea etc that follow. The movie or rather mini-series is also quite good but the books are better. Still want to visit Canada just because of these books, only made it to Toronto and surrounding parts in 2007, will make it to Prince Edward Island hopefully in the next visit.
