taking the easy way
I like to do a dedicated windy post once a week, but I need to cheat a little this week and pull some posts from my own notebook to make the Saturday post. I have a lot to get done. This is a roundup of activities from the last month. They were all to varying degrees of success because, to tell you the truth, my son is on strike against hats this week and bits of my home that used to be not sky blue are sky blue. But on the other hand, we've had much more drawing and painting this week and tried some new activities. And the days are getting longer.
rainbow bread
A few months ago Auggie found a video about baking rainbow bread on
youtube. It’s a pretty long cooking demonstration — I never would have guessed
he would find it so interesting, but he asked for it a few times. So we finally
decided to try making it. The recipe in the video requires kneading and uses all the
colours of the rainbow. Since we didn’t have the time or patience to do a long
recipe, we did a much easier version using less colours and no-knead bread... read more
the easiest pancake
Maybe I will dedicate this pancake to Tulip the Buffalo. Snowy & Chinook already have their favourite recipes for pancakes, but this is such a fantastic recipe and so puffy and simple (and good with berries) that maybe it's perfect for Tulip via endless banquet ... read more
kindergarten hat from pickles
I made this little hat (another one from pickles)
from their kindergarten set. The
pattern is great and simple and good for using up scraps of yarn... read more

squash soup
Oof, I've been trying to finish up another children's scarf pattern, but I misjudged the length, so it won't be ready for another week.
In the meantime, I thought I'd put up this really, really fantastic squash soup recipe from Jeanette Ordas of everybody likes sandwiches at poppytalk. This soup has a number of great things about it:
1. it's really, really good
2. it's not sweet
3. it's fast and uses frozen squash (it is very good to cook with small children, just keep them away from the peppers — measuring the frozen squash and chopping peeled apples under supervision are a lot of fun).
It has only one bad thing which is that it's a little spicy for a child. What I do is cook most of the spicy spices separately. It's quite easy and just means there's an extra saucepan to wash up at the end.
First, see the recipe here at poppytalk.
