Today the kids didn’t just cook dinner, they cooked all day. I guess they missed having their own kitchen while they were at camp. Max started the day with banana-chocolate chip pancakes; Alex made tomato-mozarella-basil bites for lunch (with fresh mozarella from DiPalos, tomatoes from a nearby farm stand, and basil from our garden), and together they made us a dinner feast of barbecued ribs, grilled vegetables, corn-on-the-cob, green peas from our garden and blueberry crisp. One thing I know is that I won’t be losing any weight now that they are home.
