Sorry I haven't posted in a while.
I start to write then...delete, not knowing how to put into words the depth of discouragement I have felt.
The months have been up and down.
One of the highlights has been
Thai Food Night.
Andrew and I love cooking together.
It's fun and romantic.
We decided to let the kids each pick out their own Thai recipe.
Then we drove down to our local Asian Market.
What an experience!
The produce was piled in large heaps along the wall, the aisles were lined with jars and cans with unusual wrappings. Half of them I could identify, the other half was just guess work. It was good exposing the kids to such a different experience than what they're used to. It sure brings understanding and compassion for others.
Once we were back home,
one-at-a-time we had a kid come into the kitchen to prepare and cook their dish.
They learned to read and follow directions...
...or not.
Beautiful and yummy.
Jeremy loved seeing his recipe idea go from paper, to store, to cooking to ...eating!
