Spring, Art and April Fool's Funny Food
Last weekend the weather was great so we went on a bike ride to the bank. Tomorrow it is supposed to snow! 
I took Monday off to volunteer with Julia's class on a fieldtrip to the National Gallery. I had a great time. We learned about Inuit art, heard some interesting stories and Julia made a pottery polar bear. We heard the story of the grandmother who killed a bear with a mitten, we learned how Sedna populated the ocean with fish, seals and whales using parts of her fingers, and we heard about how shaman would turn into animals.
That evening Talie and I made a topsy turvy dinner. We had cupcakes and milkshakes for dinner and fishsticks with ketchup and coleslaw for dessert.
Actually the cupcakes were made from meatloaf with mashed potato icing and red pepper sprinkles, the milkshakes were cauliflower soup, the fishsticks were deep-fried pineapple, the ketchup was raspberry sauce, and the coleslaw was apples and yogurt. Fun to make but next time I'll save that much work for a weekend...a bit too time consuming for a weekday.
