Reliant K Concert

I'm not into the concert scene, so I cannot blog about how great the venue or musician were. But Meggar and Domitille said they had great seats and a great time! Timothy received tickets to the "Relient K" concert as his graduation present, and he invited Becca and Meg--who invited Domi. The twins and Dorito were quite jealous because they have this "The Bird and the Bee Side" album.

Recipe for Ratatouille

Watching Domitille, I am attempting to jot down her recipe for "Real French-style" version of this classical dish.
Ratatouille
1 eggplant (aubergine), peeled
2 zucchini (courgettes), half-peeled
2 onions
3 medium tomatoes
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
Chop all vegetables. Saute slowly in plenty of aromatic olive oil. Season generously with thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.

Baking Days

First, Domitille fixed us French Ratatouille, which we ate with fried eggs for lunch. It looked like a lot of work for her! Very warm and comforting for us!

Then, she helped me make a blackberry pie with a pretty crust--she liked experimenting with the lattice cutter. (Homemade pie seemed like an American dessert to bake with her.)

Lastly, Dorito made the Blueberry Pizza all by himself!

Pink Flamingo Artwork

The library is sponsoring an art contest to decorate a cardboard pink flamingo. Domitille helped the twins make a "Pink Panther Flamingo" this week. We have enjoyed the movie with her (several times). Winger can do the high-pitched French accent, and Polar Bear narrates the funniest parts. I don't think Domitille likes that it pokes fun at the stupid French detective. But she liked the creativity of the art project. She also taught us that pink flamingo feathers stay pink because of what the bird eats.

English flavors

The girls were hoping to make a phone call....

We bought some "Narnia" Monopoly pieces and a box of Turkish Delight to share.

Into the Narnia Wardrobe

Going inside the "Narnia" exhibit at Union Station was such a WONDERFUL field trip today! Even Captain admitted that it was "cool" to see the ice throne and the frozen water falls! It was pricey, but all seven of us went through the wardrobe and looked at the props from both movies.

A Penny Found is a Penny....

Winger picked up a penny for me in the Union Station parking garage!
