lunch with korrina

 morgana and i went ice skating in the morning and then were back home in time for lunch with korrina.

 we had a feast with different salads such as broccoli slaw and egg salad and a lima bean spread that the new health food store sells. it's a brand called rootsfood and i really like their different hummus spreads.

the clementines that are out now are also really good . . they're sweet even though they're such a big size. 

 korrina has been training a new cook on the garde manger bar. she's been enjoying a break from sauté as her wrist was starting to hurt from hauling the heavy pans around. she said she worked six days last week and now after having two days off she has an eight day week coming up. cooking is hard work! in the downton abbey show, i think it's mrs. patmore, the cook, that works the hardest. she has to cook for upstairs and downstairs . . as any mom or dad knows, providing food for hungry mouths can be endless.

 hermione has a scab . . again . . she and madeline are constantly sparring . . scratching.

i love her epiphany scarf with her grey and slate blue hat . . !

  2. I hope Korrina's wrists will recover soon. One of my students has both wrists injured. She can hardly type or write! Sweet last picture! When is Morgana going to Europe? Where is she going? Peter will be going also . . .

    1. Hello Eva, I think she leaves around March 9th and stays for about two weeks . . she's been saving her money to visit her cousin in London, a friend in Paris, her Austrian family and a good family friend of ours in Denmark . . hmm . . I guess she means to be gone longer than two weeks . . when does Peter go? It seems he's been traveling quite a bit this fall and winter? He must like it? Korrina said her wrist was feeling better. I would not like to have both wrists injured! That must be difficult for your student.

    2. That is a lot for just two weeks . . . Peter is flying to Vienna on March 12 and coming back about three weeks later. Maybe they should meet in Vienna! He is going with a group of students. I wish we could go along. I think he looks forward to seeing Vienna again. He will celebrate Easter there. The students are having a one week break and my student hopes to rest her hands. She is also going to see a neurologist. Good that Korrina is feeling better.

    3. Such a nice place to visit! Morgana is sick now with what Chanda had. I think that if/when she goes she may be in Vienna around the same time. She's supposed to visit a friend there I think.

    4. Poor thing! Sounds like at our house. It would be nice if they could meet. Maybe she wants to participate in some activities there? They are staying in a youth hostel. I hope Morgana will feel better soon. Sending her a big hug.

      P.S. Our car broke down in Elmira when Peter was doing the ballet run. It cannot drive in reverse anymore!

    5. Oh no! That's terrible about your car!! It's terrible but funny that it won't drive in reverse! I hope it doesn't cost too much to fix . . old cars are always needing some work.

      Now Morgana says she's not sure if she will be going to Vienna because her good friend might go to Paris and she might meet her there. Her friend's grandmother has an apartment and they would stay there. I'll keep you posted. It often changes moment to moment . . (I'm rolling my eyes . . ).

    6. Is Morgana going to Vienna at all? Peter is coming back soon, so I guess they won't see each other.

    7. No, she's in Thiais, a suburb of Paris, and doesn't have plans for Vienna right now. I think the plan is to visit our friend Christine in Copenhagen and then visit the Austrian family and then back to Paris again to show her London cousin around. He hosted her in London and she's looking forward to hosting him in Paris.

    8. I am sorry, but there are a number of comments from you I never saw in my e-mail. I don't know what happened. Well, it does not matter now anymore anyway.
