15 months and climbing...

We were surprised to see how long its been since we posted.... Little bit of a LOT going on as usual. My semester began this week so we are adjusting to a new schedule for a few months. Otherwise, we are enjoying the pleasantly mild August weather and keeping our fingers crossed for rain.

As for Alder, he loves tomatoes from the garden. He points and asks for them when we walk by them. He eats them whole and raw.

he also likes to tickle toes (and wear his bicycle helmet in the house...)

and drinking from the hose (always followed by a refreshing, open-mouthed, "aahhhhhhh").

and going head first into the pool

and Climbing!! This has just begun and while we are glad he has learned to go 'feet first' down the steps and off the bed, his infatuation with climbing could lead to some trouble...

Today, we watched as he climbed all the way up on our picnic table by himself!!

After all these antics, we wound down the weekend with an old favortie meal we hadn't had in awhile: miso walnut sauce on...whatever..it is so yummy. Despite the fact that it looks like dog puke on this pile of noodles and chard.

Alder loved it as well.If you'd like to make it:

2c walnuts (toasted)
2c apple juice - bring to a boil, turn off and add the miso)
4 Tbsp miso
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Blend and use as a dip or over rice/pasta.
From the Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook...claims that this sauce can be habit-forming...I agree.

Everyone have a lovely day.
