Writing a blog is a very strange thing to me. I am writing for others to read, but I don’t know who will read it. It’s hard for all of us to figure what to write about – except David, who has the quietest life!
So here goes: during the holidays the girls came up with the idea of eating through the alphabet. We started on January 2nd and have kept it up with only a day off here and there. Today we ate ‘n’. At the beginning we only ate foods that started with that letter but that was challenging to fill in the veggies etc. so now it’s the main course and whatever else we can. So far we have had apple pancakes, beef and bean burritos, chicken crepes, dolomathes (the girls weren’t too thrilled)-anybody want a jar of leftover grape leaves?, enchiladas, …… Catherine and Erin have been busy helping plan the menus, looking through cookbooks for ideas. Erin has enjoyed baking some theme letter desserts ( such as ‘ginger’ crinkles). We’ve tried some new things and it’s been kind of fun. We’re looking forward to quiche and zucchini.
