The parents play. Best thing is that everything fresh is local, from the market.
Reenpig shows her disapproval at not being included.
Notes from a bemused canuck
Kippy (our car) was due her first expertise (contrôle technique). It took the whole of 9 minutes. Katy is still in shock and awe. They tested every major system in the car: tires, axles, suspension, brakes, headlights… in 9 minutes. Katy’s still gushing about the whole experience, labelling it as one of her best Swiss experiences to date, and she’s wondering if she should have a cigarette now after all that bouncing around.
Katy, Bean and I went to Geneva to see the latest incarnation of Kodo’s One Earth tour: evolution.
I was, in a word, disappointed. Oh, don’t get me wrong, there were still moments of brilliance, but the show didn’t live up to the larger-than-life dragons who suddenly slither on to the stage or the shaggy-haired, old-style forest ‘demons’ from the One Earth: Mystery 2016 tour. This show seemed almost too technical, too slow, at times. I didn’t feel the mad, raw energy from the previous show. The group of special-need kids behind us that didn’t stop talking the whole show probably didn’t help either.
I’ve finally gotten around to making the chili con queso recipe that I’ve been wanting to make for ages! Verdict? It was yummy! Next time, I need to make the queso a little bit thicker (less milk). I added paprika (for warmth) and a bit of turmeric (for color). My chili sauce worked really well for Bean, because it’s more flavourful and fruity than burn-your-face-off hot.

… for a nap.
