Miriam and I had a pie-making session this afternoon. She watched me make one and then she made her first pie! I helped her peel the apples but everything else was done by her. I told her that she is "The Youngest Pie-Making-Lewis". We brought one of the pies to Mr. Tom Jenkins and the other one was for us. The combination of our homemade-GrannySmith-pie) and Kirkland (Costco) vanilla ice cream is the one of my favorite desserts in the world. I'm positive that Brahms and Shannon would agree with me. Miriam eats her pie in its purest form- no ice cream. Sometimes Tim also eats his pie that way.
Today she also told me that if I compete in the reality cooking show "Chopped" I would win. What a complement! My daughter has the total confidence in my cooking abilities. She must really like the food I feed her. Someday she will find out that her mother is no chef at all. But then she'll be older and independent that nostalgia will over-rate and exaggerate her childhood memories including the food that her mommy made for her.
Brahms went out today to tutor Michael Montejano. After that he spent the rest of the afternoon working on his homework and making a video.
Brahms and Miriam get along really well except when Brahms tries to parent her. For example this morning he commented on the excessive amount of butter she was spreading on her toast. That didn't settle well for Miriam. :)
We were a few minutes late to church today but that's normal for us anyway. After that we came back home and ate some left-over halibut and roasted butternut squash - which were surprisingly very good even on the second day. Dinner was oven-raasted chicken quarters, spinach salad and of course, pie for dessert. The day was generally restful. We had our devotion and prayer time just the three of us - Tim being in Taipei on a business trip/conference.
