For the Birds....

Found some sweet and colorful birds in my travels. Once again I stopped at my favorite flea market style antique store.

I wanted to work out a way to display the birds so I gathered a few twigs, thinking I would create some sort of tree for them.

Here is my favorite one, of course he is orange!

I attached the birds to the twigs. I put them in a white bird cage but I didn't like the look it looked as if I was trying too hard, too heavy a look. So, I layed them out and placed them on the twigs. I like how this turned out much better.

A wall tree of birds. Love it!

Let Them Eat Cake!

gâteau au yaourt

My ten year old son spent time in the kitchen with me this past weekend. We tried our hand at gâteau au yaourt (yogurt cake). In France I understand that the children use the yogurt container as their measuring cup, making it an easy recipe for children to follow.

My son loves to cook. I told him that if he can make ten meals(by memory) or learn to cook/make at least ten things then he is a cook.

My hope is that when he is off on his own he can cook for himself and enjoy what he makes!

This yogurt cake has quickly moved to the top of the favorites list!!!

What we have worked on so far:

poached eggs

omelette's

smoothies

chicken soup

shepherds pie

pumpkin bread

Julia Child's basic vinaigrette

Daikon radish Salad(he taught me this one)

I found a wonderful French Yogurt Cake recipe to share from Phoebe Schilla of Studio of Good Living
