Hello loves


Greetings from after bath time

One of those “I’m not going to question anything” parenting moments. Ash (almost 10) is helping me prepare dinner. In the kitchen is a random gourd that a houseguest brought over last night. Ash grasps it and starts parading around the kitchen saying “OH MY GOURD! OH MY GOURD” and kissing the gourd dramatically. He then asks the assembled people in the kitchen: “Is it legal to marry a gourd?” He then needs to help make the garlic bread, and he lays the gourd down on a dish towel, caresses it gently, leans in and whispers to it, quietly and sincerely: “Stay here, my love.”


I don’t need to know and I never want to.

Oh god (gourd) that made me smile. It’s been a very difficult life and death level week here. The gourd saved today. I will do what I need to do and not question it. Hooray for kids and their awesome creativity 🥳

I clearly remmeber being in love with a pillow when I was not much younger than him. Nobody judge.

To be fair: that IS a gorgeous gourd.

That’s an acorn squash. Cut it in half, scoop out the middle. Set them scooped side down in a pan with half an inch or so of water. Cook at 400 for about 45 minutes. Put in a bunch of butter and brown sugar. Scoop bites out with a spoon. Delicious. At A’s age it was probably my favorite vegetable!

actually that was from memory; the internet says brush with oil and cook face down on a dry pan. I suspect either way works.
