Kombucha and Doughnuts

Today I poured off another batch of kombucha - a fermented mixture of tea and water that apparently is quite health-giving and also tasty. I love making kombucha. Lucy, on the other hand, loves making doughnuts. Today she whipped up a batch in the kitchen. They were not completely inedible either. She also loves artichokes. For bedtime snack, she ate an entire huge artichoke, heart included. And I've recently read artichokes have the most antioxidants of any vegetable... Who knew?

But today her masterpieces were created right after school. She dashed straight into her bedroom and closed the door. This is usual. She emerged a few minutes later buck naked carrying two shaped pieces of paper with yarn taped to them, calling them swim diapers. One for her and one for Jasper. The Jasper one had a penis-shaped outcropping just for him. Ah, shucks.

Meanwhile, Jasper likes to march around the house eating tofu (which he affectionately refers to as totu), mango (mamo), and rice (ice) with soy sauce (oyahth). He is a super-dooper love bug these days. He loves to kiss and be held a lot - holdy he says. And he is so darn cute that it would be impossible to resist kissing and holding him even if I tried... His favorite phrase: no, thanks. As in, Jasper are you ready for bed? No, thanks.
