Would you care to join us for chocolate pudding and coffee?

Today the kids helped me make chocolate pudding with Melanie's supplies. I had to provide a bowl, as hers wasn't going to contain two cups of milk and a package of powder. We used her mixer, which was great fun. It wasn't as smooth as it could have been, but that's what happens when the munchkins do the mixing. I think it was starting to set by the time we were halfway through mixing.


Oh well, it tastes just as good, if not better! Such hard labour over it increases the appetite. ;)


Looking at that might decrease the appetite.


Dainty little coffee drinker. I mistakenly called it juice once. And was reprimanded severely.


Believe it or not, but SHE spilled much less than he did. However, HIS shirt was much cleaner than hers by the end. So I guess that makes it even.








What, more work! We made it, now we have to clean up too? (Welcome to my world! :p Except that they enjoyed cleaning...too bad all my dishes are breakable, or I could enlist them. :) )




Can you see the difference a year and a half has on a body profile? Or maybe I should be organizing a diet for this young person? ;)


Some poor little guy only woke up in time to splash in the water a little. It never is fun to be the youngest one, hey?


It's been a while since I've done a mirror portrait. Looks like Matthew's hair needs a bit of a trim!


I'm a little paranoid about food poisoning. My advice to you, is not to take a food safe course unless you really have to. I cooked this meat twice! I cooked it in the morning, but it was too hot to deal with, and I was in a hurry to go somewhere, so I left it in the pan for 4 hours. Then, when I looked at it I thought perhaps it was a little red on the top. So I cranked the heat and, here I am trying to roast the guts out of it. I've been imagining cramps ever since I ate this meat...
