tiny happy

The young people around here have been showing an interest in making food. As well as their own school lunches (ahem, yes, I did encourage that), they've been learning how to cook a few simple dishes, and a few Sundays ago, K made this stack of waffles (eaten stewed fruit, yoghurt and enthusiasm.)

Since B has started living with us, we have had a good supply of fruit and herb teas in the pantry. Keira had a friend coming to visit, so she made her this special rhubarb-mint drink. The 'recipe': Make a big pot of tea (we used 'rhubarb', 'apple' and 'peppermint' teas) and stir in a big spoonful of honey. Stir for a while then leave the mixture to cool for a while. Pour into a jug and add lots of ice and mint leaves.
