After a couple Sundays spent out of town on vacation, we were all ready to get to church early today. I tried to get Eddy to take photos before church but he didn't so it is another after church photo. Luckily they hadn't shed their church clothes on the way home like they usually do. We had a missionary farewell in our ward of a kid who is a friend of Quinton. It made me think of how few years we have left before he goes into the wide world. Gulp!
Summer monsoon season is going really well this year which means we are getting rain. Hurrah! I love a summer rain. Our lovely desert is very green just now.
Zany (in smocked dress, I adore smocking), Quinton, Declan, McCoy and Archer in front
Declan enjoys carrying a briefcase to church with all kinds of things he might need at church. Including a package of kleenex in case one of the primary leaders sheds a few tears during primary and then he can give her a much needed kleenex.
On my mission to Michigan I was introduced to Pierogies. Little bundles of pasta like dough stuffed with creamy mashed potatoes. They are so tasty. When I was at Costco they had pierogies for a tasting sample and so I bought a big bag. We had them for dinner and the kids had them for the first time. Everyone liked them except Archy who refused to even try them. We also had corn on the cob which is absolutely Zany's favorite food in the world right now. She ate two whole cobs
We used to eat corn with the traditional butter and salt. Once we tried the corn Mexican style we decided that was the way for us. We roast the corn in the shuck in the oven for 30 minutes at 350*. Then we pull off the shuck and corn hair lather it up with some mayo and sprinkle on some Tajin (lime/chili seasonings found in the produce section of the grocery store) and salt. Man, it is like summer in your mouth.
As evidenced by Zany it is best eaten by just diving in and getting all over your cheeks and face.
Tasty!
That sounds like a very interesting way to eat corn on the cob. I am going to try it!
