For the second time this year, we celebrated Thanksgiving. Mina has heard much about it at school so she was rather excited. We've been doing a lot of related crafts including these crowns which she made for each of us. Mina wanted to know if we would be having turkey and popcorn at dinner. For our low-key dinner, we had a carrot fennel soup and a cornucopia full of sauteed vegetables. For dessert we had homemade pumpkin ice cream. It was one of those mellow, largely unplanned days that rolled into a really sweet and memorable night.
At dinner we talked about gratitude and stated what we gave thanks for this year...
Miles -for food
Mina -"for all the people that i know and all the people that i don't know"
Annie -for our home and comfort
Richard -for the safety and recovery of my Uncle Howard
The recipe for the actual cornucopia came from a new household, Edible Art: Easy Cooking Art for Young Children. This book is rather fun and funky. So far we've made banana boats as well as number pretzels. Mina wants to make the whole book. Here are the other delights...
Giving thanks for each of you.
