Duck Dogs and Chocolate Kebabs

March 30th, 2007 by Sarah

Food Festival was great fun as always – I love tasting everything from jam to chutney to cheese to … the duck sausages we had for lunch – Duck Dogs with plum sauce, mmm!

Joe bought himself a strawberry, doughnut and marshmallow kebab from the chocolate fountain stall – which was supposed to keep him quiet while Becca & I watched Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall do a demo in the cookery theatre but it was packed to overflowing by the time we got there so we didn’t bother after all!

He managed all bar the last marshmallow of it – no mean feat, it was huge! The rain held off and it was nice enough to have lunch outside, then we went back to Becca’s for a cup of tea.

As I write, Anna is out playing with a friend from school. Meanwhile Abbie is creating culinary delights in the form of a jelly sweet kit that she’s had since Christmas. Joe did some more maths and music workbooks this morning and we’ve set a goal of finishing them both off before Easter, which should be manageable, only a few pages left in each one.

Forgot we did a science kit the other day, which just happened all about the solar system, good consolidation/revision for Joe. He quite enjoyed making this poster using pastels on black paper, and cut up a planet factsheet to label each planet.

    I don’t want to jinx anything but I’ve not had any problems accessing your blog for a while now . . .

    Sounds fun. How did Joe kept his coat so clean whilst eating that marshmallow kebab? I would have had to wash Chloe’s after something like that!

    dunno about having to wash a coat after a feast like that Michelle, if it have been Aprilia I think I’d have been hosing down the whole child!!

    Adn “doh” moment here, why did I not think about pastels and black paper for the planets!!! (sighs and shakes head…)

    Black paper and metallic pens look good for planet pictures too . . .
