@masterchef at work

It’s a bit funny that Daniel’s handle on Twitter is @masterchef. He made up that identity for himself years ago, and it seems to have been prophetic. Since Daniel was not able to find a job this summer, he’s the designated cook, and we sure have enjoyed the fruits of his labor!

 
Corrie’s birthday tea

Last week, according to our tradition, Corrie and I went out to our sisters’ birthday tea, just the two of us. Well, technically it was three of us because baby Benjamin came along. :-)

 
For tomato lovers

Daniel has done a great job cooking this summer. He’s learned a lot about cooking. This week he had to deal with stuffed tomatoes. We ended up with what felt like the world’s largest tomatoes for dinner!

 
High tea drawings

Due to scheduling conflicts, travel and such, Corrie and I were finally were able to celebrate Mother’s Day/birthday for my mom today! Daniel came along too (he likes sampling all the foods) and it was the first tea that I brought my sketchbook and drew the food!

 
Cooking brothers

Daniels “brother” Timmy came over this week. We discovered that Timmy makes an excellent sous chef to Daniel.

 
Two tasks on a hot summer day

It’s been pretty hot in Davis lately. On Thursday, we did two things to beat the heat.

 
Girls’ day out

Today the women in our small group went out for tea! (One was missing, as she was out of town.)

The other week we were chatting and discovered some of us loved high tea. So we decided to have an outing and we went to Linde Lane in Dixon. I have been there a number of times but it was the first time for the others.

 
Tea with two

Yesterday my mom and my son went with me to have a holiday tea in Roseville. It’s a bummer Corrie couldn’t join us — she caught the flu. :-(
