Garden cooking

As of this minute all of the pictures for Stella's board book have been uploaded and I have all but the final page written, they just need to be typed in.  So her birthday has come and gone and my new goal is to have the book done before school starts again.  Of course both girls did get books for their birthdays.  We gave Stella a book called When Stella was very, very Small

We gave Maria a book called Mud Pies and Other Recipes.  

Some of the recipes are Mud Puddle Soup, Pencil Sharpener Pudding, Sawdust Cakes and Silky Spaghetti.  One of the ones we made was Leaves en Brochette-  "using a pencil for a skewer, spear as many leaves as you can find.  Alternate the kinds and, if possible, the colors.  In a sunny place, rest the skewer on two two forked sticks so that it can be turned occasionally in the sun."  Lately, this is how we've been using our imagination!
