Pizza with roasted veggies, a pear rustic tart, and two days later dessert with Amelia

It's always wonderful to spend time with a one-year-old, especially when she's your granddaughter, but I've got to tell you that one of the perks on each Thursday-to-Saturday visit is the meal we get to prepare together.


Saturday it was a homemade pizza. Whole wheat crust, mozzerella cheese, roasted butternut squash and broccolini and red onions and parsnips followed by…

…a pear-and-ginger rustic tart. Served it with low-cal vanilla ice cream.


We may be gone…
but not forgotten.
Jenn's in D.C. on business for a couple of days. José is "home alone" with Amelia. Last night we entertained her as she polished off a container of baby yogurt.

Amelia is definitely into electronics. If it has a button or a switch, she's there. And this Skype service is the best thing ever as far as she's concerned.
