Finally

Fresh tomatoes and green beans from the garden. Yum!

Today's masterpiece

We wanted something more permanent than the masking-tape floor staff, which we had to rip up because it kept peeling away from the floor and getting dog hair stuck to it.

We found this bamboo rug for $20 and today Thomas is painstakingly marking in all the lines with a black Stabilo. It has to be perfect!
This might take a while.... we might have to make a trip to Target for some more markers. But we're passing the time listening to Michael Jackson so it's all good.

Hummus

Do y'all like hummus? We do!

We wanted to share our recipe with you. Here's what you need:

• 1 can chick peas (aka garbanzo beans), 1/2 of the water drained and set aside
• juice of 1 lemon
• half a clove of garlic... trust us, you don't want any more than that
• 2-3 spoonfuls of tahini
• 2 spoonfuls of olive oil
• salt and pepper

Put everything in the blender and mix it up! If it's too thick, add some of the water from the can of chickpeas. You can also add some roasted red pepper.

We had to figure out this tahini business. It's expensive and hard to find (we located it near the peanut butter in the store) and it but you only use a few spoonfuls at a time so it lasts for months and months.

Enjoy your healthy snack.

Delphi did something bad

She broke in to a bag of muesli while the rest of us were upstairs watching tv.

Our best student

Hi everybody, what note am I on?

Thomas made this big staff on the floor with masking tape and our students have been using it to learn their notes. They love hopping from note to note.
