Here is Dad near the end of the Great Nordeen last weekend. It was 9 degrees when he finished.
We were in school for two full weeks since our last day off, so we clearly needed this Thursday and Friday off. On Thursday, I went to Cold Weather Survival Camp. We pretty much built igloos, but it was fun.
This is all of us inspecting the course before our race this weekend.
This me during my slalom race. I love it.
I made salmon with miso-orange sauce (from the “What is Umami” section of The Complete Cookbook For Young Scientists from Great Auntie Cheryl), for dinner this weekend. It was a hit.
I’m watching The Great British Baking show. Last night we saw them make vol-au-vents. (A vol-au-vent is a small hollow case of puff pastry typically filled with a savory mixture). So, imagine my surprise when I went to buy a cookie at Thump and they had ‘savory squares’ – which were, in fact, vol-au-vents.
On occasion, The Bigs still do things around the house. This week they made Forbidden Rice Salad with Blistered Broccolini and Miso Dressing (also from a cookbook from G.A. Cheryl):
and Kung Pao cauliflower.
Becoming quite the Nordic racer. Look really good. Survivor course looked like fun.
Love the Headline.! Very clever. I had no idea Emmett is racing…a .future member of the US Olympics Ski Team ! Go USA! .❤️
Survival camp looked like a fun time. Lots of days off school though but it leaves time for cooking
And more activities outdoors. That cookbook from great auntie Cheryl seems to be a hit.
I don’t see the rice is it forbidden
Looking good coming down that slope.
Are you going to make me a vol-au-vent when I get out there?
