I honestly don't know what happened to this week. Wasn't it just Monday morning?

Here are a few images from our week:

  • A walk on our favorite pier:
  • A Flower Rainbow:
  • A kitchen experiment (Elliot's recipe: flour, sugar, salt, pecans, nutmeg, milk):

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!

I read your blog to Clara and she LOVED it. She was then very inspired to make some "dough" as well. So while Elmer and Evan were out running errands and Bethany was resting/tending to Jane, Clara and I "put together a recipe (It naturally evolved into a "tea cake"). Clara knew pretty much knew what ingredients she wanted to use, but volume control was a bit challenging. She knew it needed to be a tiny tea cake, so I got out a 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup measure plus a 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoons. From there it was truly a process of measuring volumes combinations that would make a good textured cake. When I ask her how much SALT we should in she said, "Oh! we will just sprinkle some on the top" and when I suggested that 1/4 tsp cinnamon would probably be adequate, she felt strongly that 1/2 tsp would be better. The recipe is established in "Clara's First Recipe Book" and the ingredient list includes: flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, a "pinch of nutmeg", canola oil, flour and vanilla. She concluded that she could "eat this for five days!"

Just wanted you to know, Elliot, that you inspired Clara to make a lovely tea cake, however; I noticed that a couple of the family members discretely left their portions of tea cake on their plates at the end of the meal. (sigh!) GG
