I some how missed making ice cream this summer so my goal for September is to make ice cream once a week. This weeks' selection comes from Cooking Light and was a big hit with the family.
We had a Moroccan Labor Day meal with lamb chops, Moroccan mashed potato casserole and Moroccan carrot salad. The meal had mixed reviews. We all loved the lamb chops, we were divided on the potato casserole and no one liked the dressing on the carrot salad. Dessert was a big hit also. More to come on our ice cream adventures.
At 6 AM this morning we were awoken to the unmistakable sound of balloon twisting. Jacob, inspired by his trip to Farrell's, made this balloon hat. Don't you wish you had one?

Jacob and I headed off to the new dinosaur hall at the Natural History Museum this week. It is very impressive and well worth the visit. I would recommend going but wait for school to start:)
Michael decided to make his grandmother's strudel cookies this weekend. They were delicious.
Michael made this beautiful and tasty raisin challah. Jacob did the braiding. He is an expert braider and he shows his skills at camp in which the kids make a mini loaf on Fridays. We have a cook in the making.
