Tasting things and some more bike riding

 Above-I have mentioned these potato chips on the blog before but NO ONE took me up on the offer to send some to them for Christmas.  I had to buy and taste some.  The boys thought they were gross, Ashley actually liked them, but I had to agree with the boys!  I won't be buying them again!  However, a friend who likes seaweed told me that they don't taste much like seaweed really!





Cheese tastings-if you have never watched the British comedy Wallace and Gromit-you are missing out on something really funny.  Wallace and his dog Gromit love to eat cheese and crackers and there is even an episode where they are out of cheese, build a rocket, take it to the moon, and sample the moon's cheese.  Wallace's favorite cheese is gorgonzola.  Well over the last couple of weeks we have tried out samples of MANY different cheeses and watched some episodes of How Its Made from Netflix about cheese.

Below is not seaweed cheese but a cheese with pesto added-I bought it for Greg since his favorite color is green-it didn't taste so good though!  Maybe if you really liked pesto.
 We tasted goat cheese, brie, coconut cheese, parmesan reggiano and romano-comparing fresh to the green can, feta, cambozola-from Germany, stilton blue, and a couple of others.  With some all you could taste was the mold but it was a fun experience!
 The kids were out of school all this past week so there were several days when no one changed out of pajamas all day, we had a picnic dinner from McDonald's at Greg's office with him one night when he had to make a late conference call, we had friends over one afternoon, went to the indoor playground another day with friends, read, played, watched Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, did some bike riding, and some swimming, and even a little school work.
 Here they are all ready to go!
