In the afternoon, my husband picked up some red raspberry starts from friends and they also handed him a bag of garden lettuce, baby spinach, and arugula. I made a sharp vinaigrette for those pretty little greens, and then made an old-fashioned bread omelet (from More with Less) with mushrooms and herbed raw milk cheddar.
And then made popcorn for the children who like their Sunday evenings with popcorn.

Mommy: What are you doing, Ben?
Ben: Making horse and buggies.
[confusion and repetition of the question and answer; Mommy's brain working, working]
Mommy: ohhhhh! When you put your hands over your ears while you eat your popcorn, you hear horse and buggies, right?
Ben [gently patronizing]: Yes.

I don't think I have More With Less, but it is mentioned so often it is tempting me. That bread omlette sounds good. I have no idea what it means.
What a sweetie. He isn't too happy about the trains in his head is he?
Ho ho ho! That's very clever! Too funny : )
Heritage, I think he's concentrating on the sound and that's why his face is so serious. He loves it. (I'm trying to figure out what is blocking me from accessing your blog, but it's slow going while I check different settings!)
DB, the bread omelette is bread cubes soaked in milk, mixes with beaten eggs and cheese, cooked on the stove and finished in the oven. Saw that Lidia Bastianich called it a "fritatta" in the Parade magazine yesterday. Say the word and I'll post the recipe (but actually I recommend that you get a More with Less!!).
Okay. That Ben thing is hilarious.
It always amazes me how much kids have going through their minds that we know NOTHING about.
Simple Sunday night suppers are my favorite. I like to do frittata!
Horse and buggies... love it!
I'll put More With Less on my birthday wish list!
