The Taste Test

This is the sort of thing that goes on in our house.
Unconventional? I guess.
Funny..definitely.
The kids and I had fun yesterday blindfolding each other and tasting different fruits and vegetables to see if we could guess what they were. Unfortunately for Matt, when he got home from work he was sucked into the taste testing vortex.
He was sat firmly on a chair and blindfolded..(its actually one of the kids neck warmers for skiing but it looks hysterical on Matt's head!)
They got him to taste cherries and raspberries and blueberries and strawberries. But the funniest was watching his face when the kids had him taste things that he doesn't like. This was his reaction to tasting a radish. It makes me just giggle looking at these pictures. We tried to get him to eat a tomato which is by far and away his least favorite thing to eat. But we couldn't even get it into his mouth. Just the smell of it made him clam up. At least we know his nose works pretty well.

My Sweet Addiction

Oh Coffee...how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach.
{- apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning; Sonnets from the Portuguese, 1850}

If I am going to have an addiction well for it to be coffee and not something more sinister.

Husband Heaven

My husband found something that is close to his Nirvana today...his heaven on earth. A specialty cheese store hidden away behind a very unsuspecting facade in downtown Spokane. Next door is a store that sells handmade chocolates and on the other side is a funky little wine store called Vino that has wine tasting and wine appreciation classes. Let me just say that today I had a very Happy Husband!
