Puppies and Tomato Sauce

 Yes, we got ANOTHER puppy.

If you frequent this blog, you've seen three already this year.

Our pack is now 6-dog strong.

This is Izoxa, and she's a boxweiler.

 Bringing her home has been this week's main event :)

She's to be our only indoor dog and has extra-special privileges.

 

 Art School activities were wrapped up this week

as we'll be taking a two-month break for the heavy rains 

and our always exciting hurricane season.

The kids worked on putting together a performance in groups: 

Hula-hoop, juggling, flags, and drums.

Lu was the director of the hoopers,

and they did a great job.

On this week's menu -

Our young chef learned how to make tomato sauce, and in so doing, 

discovered the gateway to a new realm of cooking.

Eggplant Parmesan on Sunday -

Going into the oven

 and coming out!

Stuffed Zucchini Boats on Wednesday -

On Friday he made mashed potatoes, 

and today he's making strawberry mousse for his mama :happydance:

He's really taking off with this, and asking for more time in the kitchen. He wants cooking to be a main subject in his homeschool curriculum, and I think we're going to do it - especially if it means more strawberry mousse :)
