Recovering from a day with the grandkids...
We had a fantastic time. All a "homemade" day.
Started with -
I forgot and collected the eggs before they came - then remembered and rushed to put them back. Comment: Gosh Grandma, they sure are cold!
Then I set them to etching a couple of empty chicken eggs. I had a battery run etcher for them, not my high speed dentist type drill. They found out how much you can press before crunching.
Brought out the pasta dough made the day before. They chose spaghettini setting (note to self: choose linguini setting for kids, they squish the pasta together in their hands as they bring it out).
A friend had given me some homemade sauce along with my homemade meatballs (from the soup recipe I posted elsewhere). Perfection!
Then on to the homemade Mango Ice Cream (flavour their choice from earlier in week) This was churning while we ate pasta. It was topped with some homemade Chocolate Sauce. Perfection again!
After I was trying to make some stilts with cans - just as I'm finishing one of them says,
"OH, I know what you're making. Stilts! We have them at school. I usually win the race with them." (me..
)
We all had a good laugh at one-upping Grandma who thought she was showing them something fun and clever!
