The biscuits were hard as rocks and only somewhat palatable with butter.
It was a great learning experience, and Lily loves every opportunity she gets to cook.

Glad I wasn't a medieval sailor!
We spent last week with Christopher Columbus. It was quite an adventure! Here's Lily mixing up hardtack. This is what the sailors mainly survived on during their voyages. The recipe was 4 parts flour to 1 part water and salt to taste. It was missing one important ingredient that the sailors had (and we don't--Thankfully!) and that is maggots. Double yuck!!!

Those look like our prepubescent attempts at making pancakes for mom. Ick. ;)
Love the photos of Lily. She looks messy and happy - the best way to be!
Hey - you should post the one photo of us from Asheville! I'm sending your check!
Love you!
