So, Matthias sent me some Fleur De Sel (fancy sea salt) for my birthday. I opened it at the dinner table and Lilly right away chimes in with her idea, how to use it.

“Mama, we can use it with fish!”

Hm, I thought, what a smart little girl. She loves to cook and bake, by the way. So, I expand on her idea, with herbs and in the oven, until I see her face …. it had dropped …. and she corrects me that we can make sea water with the salt to have a fish tank. Oh, my gosh,  we all died laughing.

Today is a crazy day. Anna is on a field trip today and has Brownies this afternoon. She woke up early, got dressed and had a substantial breakfast. I tell you, she is BREAKFAST girl. She had eggs, bacon and a pancake. Emily had two pancakes. We make the crepe style pancakes. Yummy! So, they were both off to a good start on this cold morning. It is freezing now, so we got out the scarves, hats and gloves.Anna und Emily in Winterkleidung im November 2007 (more…)
