Family is what you make it….

Here we are in the kitchen.  

This dinner was different as the main course was not made in advance.  As you can see, I am reading a recipe while standing at the stove.  It truly was like a family dinner – catching up on the day’s events while getting food to the table.

I really missed having Steve there to capture the moments.  SInce I was cooking I was not as involved in taking photos so some of the little things got missed.  I don’t have a great photo of the Heavenly Pie,  no real photo of the Grapenuts pudding (which I LOVED) and the cream puff experiment .

At the end though, it seems that getting together once a week is important to all of us for reasons greater than the project.  A big heartfelt thanks to my extended family for making this a priority, for bringing their spirit and joy, and for making Wednesday night the best night of the week.
