Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

I have an excess of eggs just now so tonight's dinner was floating island pudding.
If I leave out most of the sugar it's almost healthy.
The white forms a soft meringue & the yolk is used to make the custard.
Yum!

I used to read about this whenever I reread The Friendly Persuasion.
In the end I had to look it up & try it for myself.
It is beautifully simple!

Happy Caturday (even though I'm a day or 2 late)

I just adore this! But I see you've lost your blanket again!

I am a great Morai!
I take the kids for the day, run them ragged all morning & they both crashed for the afternoon.

While we waited on the tide coming in we hunted frogs & tadpoles & looked @ the new eggs. The kids were enchanted.

The lad was enraptured to find soldier crabs & puffer fish trapped in the swimming enclosure. We looked both up on google when we got home & proceeded to watch videos. Before I knew it the lad had joined his sister in slumber land.

That, in my opinion, is the best way to raise kids!! I still do this today with my 3. It's getting a little harder with the 13 y/o girl, but the rest still play hard and crash.

Yes, but only when I'm not using it. Otherwise both the blanket and Scooby are on me!

I was always a *toss them outside* parent. Even in really inclement weather I would send the kids outside to play but our *yard* includes the foreshore & bay while the grandies have a stretch of grass with nothing else. Here everything is so stimulating it's mentally exhausting as well as physically.

I hope so. I'm a mean grandparent. I expect them to behave & pull the plug if they don't behave themselves. I'm too old to put up with the nonsense their parents tolerate ~ & they are much better behaved for us.
