M is for Menu.


Today is a snowy snowy snowy day. J, N and M are bored of building with snow. Waiting/hoping patiently for a friend to show up, they are done building a snow fort with the snow block builder.
I am trying to get motivated to finish putting away Christmas stuff. Thought I'd post about it but can't find the pictures... oh oh. M is playing with Styrofoam from inside computer boxes and counting bears. She is the village.
I made the above is a menu card for a friend. We shared dinner with their family-- she was crazy overworked. A favorite diner of ours is curry chicken. It is fairly mild. The children love it. I can cook anything but struggle thinking of what to make. Witness all the dinner idea blogs... I'm not alone. My idea of an ideal dinner is some steamed vegetables, or (Hallelujah!) hot cereal. C is ok with that now... although he prefers something that generates leftovers for lunch. Chicken curry is just such a dinner.
The idea occurred to me to make a card for all our favorite meals. Sketchy and inspirational.

What is your favorite dinner menu?

M is for the Mayflower.



N drew this in a fit of concentration while at dinner at a friend's house on Monday. He said he wanted to draw and he meant it. Around here we all have that urge sometimes, rarely getting the chance to act on it. I'm so glad that we had the huge paper for him and the markers out. After he finished several drawings he told us all of the details. He also told us about friendship.

Last night he played with his beloved cousins for several hours. He was soooo happy. Thanks P & M for letting him play while C figured out wheat storage. Sweetie-pie M had a great time too! :)

I love the Thanksgiving holiday. The idea, the significance, the American-ness (in the very best sense of that word) of it.

Today our menu includes: Leek stuffing made by K, mashed potatoes by N & J, turkey (shaped) carrot cake :) by C, messes made by M, place cards made by S, pies made by DFM & SRM, the turkey cooked forever by H...

Hope you are having a great day!
