We've been busy cooking up a storm, trying all the recipes from the tasty time with ze fronk cookbook. This isn't in the cookbook but it was on Ze Fronk one day and it is now little man's signature snack. Cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella on toothpicks. It's super easy and a great use for the ton of basil from the balcony garden!   Papa and little man made ze banana dog for breakfast this weekend.

Bucket lists are funny things, imaginary (in my case) lists of dream vacations and/or other activities. Most lists don't make sense to anyone but the list maker. I don't know why I wanted to recreate this picture. I've just always liked it and it seemed like it had the potential to be a fun thing to do and it was!
