Calvin had to present his project for literature class today. They are discussing Christmas' around the world and of course, Calvin chose to do France. For his visual aid, he opted to bring in a traditional French Bûche de Noël, a yule log cake. I made the cream-filled jelly-roll style cake yesterday and then last night, while I was at the swim meet, Josh and Calvin covered in a rolled chocolate fondant to make it look like a real log. They did a great job! It looked fantastic but they did not take a picture! Sorry! Instead, I am including a picture of one of the yule cakes that we enjoyed in France.
Anyway, he presented his project and cake today and everyone absolutely loved it. Tabitha is now determined to bring another yule log cake in on Friday for her class Christmas party.
Quincy shocked me this morning by asking for a comb for his hair! He has never felt the need to comb his hair as it is always so straight and so fine that it just falls into place, much like Josh's. Hmmmmm.... I wonder who he feels the need to comb his hair for???
I spent a wonderful day with my good friend, Jane. We drove into Cincinnati for some final Christmas shopping but mostly to enjoy a fantastic Indian lunch at a favorite restaurant of hers. Delicious and a beautiful day!
Tabitha whipped up some honest to goodness French dinner crepes for our dinner tonight. She made them perfectly with buckwheat flour, eggs, ham and cheese. They were paper thin and perfect!
Tomorrow evening is Quincy's big "cross town shoot out"! His small Catholic high school is swimming against the local public high school. The public school has a nationally ranked swimmer who is being hunted by the Olympic team but the rest of their team is not that good. We'll see how it all goes....
