and
Happy Holidays! Today little-man E has his last day of school and his Christmas Break begins, I will be taking some time off of the ol' blog and possibly the tumblr too. Till next week then! In the meantime I posted some photos of these new watermelon radishes that C got in. So good, then I wanted to make something to go with the radish so I made some corn tortillas. My grandma always had fresh cut radishes on her plate and a mini-salad to go with her traditional mexican meal. We've been using the Advent Calender's full of chocolates to keep track of time it's a treat for the kids (one of these day's I'll get around to making of my own)... E had a Christmas Party at school for the parents to come to and we brought home his handmade pointsetta, I love poinsettas, in East L.A. sometimes I'd see them growing in peoples front yard next to huge aloes looking rather big and regal themselves so I broke down and got one. Hoping to bring a little of the familiar to the unfamiliar. We went to Clark's Tree Farm to get our tree about a week ago, I forgot to bring my camera though, we went there last year too. It's always fun to cut and pick your own tree. I still have to sew stockings in time for Christmas, we're trying new ones this year... In a little while, I'll be heading over to C's grandma's house to pick up more frosted sugar cookies some of which Iris and I helped frost. Anyhow, Season's Greetings (Winter Solstice is tomorrow)!
