Pomegranates are Plentiful in Chicago
Jon was out shopping yesterday and took this picture for me. Isn't that sweet? Every kid in The Child's class could have had extra credit if we lived in Chicago. As it was, only 3 found the elusive fruit.
The Child is busy making sandwiches. Once a month members of the parish take sandwiches to a homeless shelter downtown. She's been making sandwiches for "her men" since she was 4. She hadn't been very vigilant about it in recent months but this week, when she got her reminder card, she said she'd make them if I remembered to get the stuff. I said I'd get the stuff if she remembered to remind me. She did.
The applesauce cake turned out very well. I love when I get cake "right". It does, however, need a little something (probably because there are no raisins or nuts in it because we, as a family, are not fond of the raisin or the nut hidden inside pastry of any sort). The Child thinks it needs a buttercream frosting. I'm thinking creme anglaise. And that, it would appear, is the biggest decision facing us on this dimmish October morning.
Good Sabbath.

That is SO sweet about The Child and her sandwiches, especially that she's been at this since the age of four. Very very touching. We need more Childs like that in our world.
Yep. Maybe the human race has a shot after all.
If your biggest problem is which type of icing to use, this is a red letter day.
Congrats on raising a child with a social conscience. Lorraine is right. Maybe the human race has a chance after all.
Not much to complain of, for sure, Diane. And our fundamental goal for The Child is for her to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Baby steps, but sometimes we look at her and are downright encouraged.
That real nice of The Child. I expect a slice of cake as soon as possible. For taste testing purposes...
Grish, Do you want coffee or tea with that?
Why, yes. Pomegranate and Stilton. Takes some getting used to but quite yummy.
