Sunday Brunch

It’s the weekend and ’though our typical breakfast is heading to the local fave restaurant Stacks, we decided to stay in. I usually make Scott’s favorite breakfast Eggs Benedict, but he requested to have us try making the one he typically orders at Stacks … their Eggs Louis.

It’s basically two poached eggs, crab meat (instead of Canadian Bacon), spinach on English muffin, topped with hollandaise sauce.

Here ’tis:

Taylor’s Flat Stanley Project

scottandmyra — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:31:15 +0000

Here’s a little background on Flat Stanley:

The project was started in 1995 by Dale Hubert, a third-grade schoolteacher in London, Ontario, Canada. It is meant to facilitate letter-writing by schoolchildren to each other as they document what Flat Stanley has done with them.

The Flat Stanley Project provides an opportunity for students to make connections with students of other member schools who’ve signed up with the project. Students begin by reading the book and becoming acquainted with the story. Then they make paper “Flat Stanleys” (or pictures of the Stanley Lambchop character) and keep a journal for a few days, documenting the places and activities in which Flat Stanley is involved. The Flat Stanley and the journal are mailed to other people who are asked to treat the figure as a visiting guest and add to his journal, then return them both after a period of time.

Since it wasn’t really practical to physically and literally take Stanley to lots of great places in the Bay Area, I decided to take advantage of what technology has to offer.

I got a little creative and decided to play around with Stanley’s flat figure. Here’s a DVD copy of his California adventure I’m sending to Taylor’s teacher. Of course, I’m also sending Taylor her own copy.

Okay, so here’s the montage of Stanley’s adventures in California:

Tomato Update

Mama’s tomato plant’s producing more and more now but I have no plans of even taste-testing them. They look scary to eat!
