Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates. Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that. He did not eat mayonnaise. He did not eat tomato sauce. He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans. He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise. He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed, Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week. I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
Horses are so different in personality that I am sure they are careful in those they select to work with the children.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like good volunteer duty.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun for once in a while, but I am thankful I did not teach first grade or kindergarten as a career. So much energy!
DeleteHow much training did you need to become a volunteer? I am not good around horses at all but I do well with children:-)
ReplyDeleteI work with the children although one year I did volunteer as a walker for horses during therapy sessions. I just don't have time to do both anymore.
DeleteWell done Olga! The program looks like a wonderful opportunity for the children and a great way to keep your teaching skills honed.
ReplyDeleteIt's just enough. Reminds me that it is good to be retired and not have to teach every day.
DeleteGood for you, and I'm sure this puts a big smile on your face every Thursday morning.
ReplyDeleteThe kids last week did applaud my story reading at the end of the program. That made me feel good.
DeleteLittle Red is beautiful! We both have wonderful Thursday mornings that we share with 1st graders!
ReplyDeleteLittle Red does look saucy with that pony tail. Have fun, Olga!
