In The Kitchen: A Roman Feast
Sam kneaded the dough.
He is our best kneader.
Don't you just love the look of a flour sack towel over a bowl of rising dough?(Don't notice the flour still on the table that wasn't cleaned up until after this photo.)
A third of the dough was formed into Olive rolls.
Another third was made into cinnamon rolls.
The last third was made into a loaf of white bread.
In addition to the breads, our Roman feast was Roasted Chicken glazed with garum (fish sauce that Roman's loved), Garbanzo Bean salad, grilled fish...
and artichokes, which was the first time the kids had this.

While Momma was 
adding spices to the tomato sauce,
Quentin was mixing the monkey muffin batter,
and making a fun cooking mess.
Ready for the oven.

In the Kitchen and From the Kitchen
Today... 
beans went on to soak early in the morning...
Quentin made a layer of watermelon jello in cups...
the dough for Molassas Oat bread was begun...
bread dough was kneaded and then left to rise...
a second layer of jello, orange this time, was made by James.
Since the first three days we have explored the front yard and our street, I thought we would spend this day in our back yard. I had noticed through my kitchen window that the lilacs were in bloom and started gathering some for the dining room table. 
That drew the boys' interest. 
James told me that he had noticed that the apple tree was in bloom, so we investigated that,
along with the sassafrass. 
Bread dough was put in pans to rise again.
Now, bread and beans are done and ready to be serve.
