Abu B-day

Pour mon anniversaire, j'ai eu droit a un reveil en douceur par Elvis, au lieu de l'habituelle tentative de parricide par saut sur la tête.

Oh joie.

You know it's your birthday when Elvis wakes you up by toying with what little hair you have left — 

as opposed to a surprise butt-drop on your head.

It doesn't take much to make life better, really.

Soupe au caillou / Rock soup

En ce moment, la classe d'Elvis est dans une solide thema "cuisine, fruits & légumes", avec dernièrement le projet d'une soupe au caillou (seulement a moitié une blague), laquelle requiert, en sus du caillou, des legumes.

D'ou, sortie au marche en bande, avec toute la classe, pour y quérir chacun son légume designé.

De l'avant vers l'arrière-plan, Côme, Sockna, Elvis.

This starting year at school flies high the flag of 'Cooking, Fruits & Veggies', all things dear to our hearts, exemplified in many shapes and styles, from tales to songs and practical classes. 

This week's special is the 'Stone soup', which requires, on top of a stone, some vegetables for garnish.*

Thus, the whole class went out to the farmer's market, each kid hunting down his or her designated piece of green.

From front to back in the picture: Côme, Sockna, Elvis.

*[The story works better in French as it is both a tale about success through cooperation in the face of scarcity, and an actual soup-making technique involving a wide semi-flat stone laid at the bottom of a boiling pot and actuated by the slow boiling — to gently mash and mix the ingredients over the course of a multi-hour simmering.]
