School Abroad

We use a lot of cooking in our schooling. We also love to serve others. My mom has taken to making meals for some homeless youth in Seattle. I thought cooking with grandparents . . . how cool! So off we went. We took the train. We do not have cable and movies are limited so when the "safety video" on the train, our kids were mesmerized. They loved the train. It was nice not to drive.

Once we got there we went strait to work. Making breadcrumbs for meatballs.

Fill a pot for boiling noodles

We made the sauce. Did I mention we were making 5 double batches: 120 meatballs, gallons of sauce, 5 lbs of noodles.

Fill the trays. Write out the baking directions

Don't forget to wash the watermelon

(As you can see from this and other posts, Isobel is often wearing little or no clothes. This drives her father slightly nutty. It is not intintional, just a little easier for one purpose or another. By this time in our preperations she needed to be washed too.)

It was great to see some family:

Uncle EJ,

Aunt Tiara, and

Aunt Tracey. Aunt Tracey is recovering from foot surgery so we made one of these dinners and all had a nice meal together. My parents were there too, but they seemed to be taking pictures also or my fingers were covered in goo and not going anywhere near my camera!
