Back from the grocery store. Based on raw ingredient price, I sincerely hope tonight's dinner turns out better than last night's spaetzle.

Found: A food mill that does both fruit (ie mulberry seeding, apple sauce) and spaetzle. Food nerd win!

Planning another Ottawa trip this week. I do so love the nation's capital! Hope my carpoolers like audio books (thinking Hobbit).

Worst kids book ever: Rude Ramsay and the Roaring Radishes, by Margaret Atwood. Came free with a Scholastic order. Way too complex!

July 1, 1867 - the day when Canadians found out that a strongly worded letter sometimes actually works. A culture is born. Happy Birthday!

Poor Katlyn. Fever's gone, but mosquito got her on the eye while sleeping. Swollen shut.

When covered with bites, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing mosquitos drop dead in mid-air from coil smoke. http://mypict.me/show...

Thunderstorm in the middle of the forest is awesome for me. Less so for the little ones.
