Fancy Fish…Faulty Fish…FLAMING FISH!

We got together with a long lost friend Daman and his family last weekend.  He was excited to steam a whole fish for us - Hong Kong style.  First we got to know the fish:

Daman – proud of his beautiful creation.  I call the eyeballs! 

 

But we dug in and – oh my – it was a little raw down by the ribs.  So Daman put it back on the burner and…

 

 

There lies the precious carcass in a bed of shattered Pyrex, roasting on two open gas flames.  We all learned a little about the consequences of rapid cooling / heating of glass cookware.

The Cleanup

 

Daman couldn’t stand the thought of our sweet rockfish going to waste.  Mmm, crunchy.

Good times with the Reynolds!  Thanks for letting us crash your place!

First Haircut

Selah was not so sure about having her hair cut. She stated, "No haircut, I don't like it" (with her little Irish accent).

She didn't want to sit in the seat or wear the gown, so lucky Derek got to do both and set a good example.

All done!!

The Big Biff

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, we thought we would get the kids wiggles out before church. We took them on a nice bike ride, but Kenyon got more than his wiggles out... Hilary took the boys down a super fast hill, Kenyon went flying-squirrel over his handle bars . After the initial shock he exclaimed, "I don't think that was a very good idea Mom".

Look at the size of that lip...now that is a fat lip!

He got back on his bike and rode home, that's my boy!
