My Garden Helper

Here she is, harvesting radishes. I'm sure gardening catalogs everywhere will be featuring this pantless-with-boots ensemble for next year

Contemplation of Radish

Alex picked a radish in our garden yesterday and gave it a try for the first time. I would venture to say it was not in her top 5 favorites.

Ebelskivers!!!!!

My co-chef and I making ebelskivers in our new pan. Fillings of the
day- strawberry jam, bananas w peanut butter, chocolate.

Experienced traveler

She knows what luggage allows her to travel light.

I may never use my oven again!

Today we broke out the easy bake oven.  For those of you who don't know, the EBO uses a 100 watt light bulb to cook.  That little aluminum ashtray you see in front of the oven?  That's the baking pan.

Yeah, so we're not talking about feeding a crowd here.  In fact the recipe reads as follows:  "Empty envelope of cake mix into bowl.  Add 1.5 teaspoons of water"."

1.5 teaspoons of water???????  What is that, like a gob of spit?

But all worked according to plan and soon we were dividing or culinary masterpiece.  After we all got our allotted forkful of cake (and the cake was gone), we agreed it was a modern marvel./  John and I agreed the 2010 Thanksgiving will be completely prepared using the Easy Bake Oven.

We're going to start cooking our turkey tomorrow.

Show and tell

Jack took his book My Brain to school for show and tell. I asked him
how it went and he said "great, I showed them the nervous page."
