Brew School

Micheal and I went to Brew School on Friday. It was really enjoyable - along with the free brew. We learned how to use the Siphon, Cimex and Pour-over methods of making coffee. We also got some good tips to making coffee. We use the Areopress method - which is the cheapest and something between a french press and pour over method. Here are some pics. Thank you Cherry Hill Coffee Company!

Siphon - a great method to entertain guests at dinner

When you said "brew school" I thought you meant beer. Shame.

Beer school would have been even better!

Quoting Kids

Kai and Max are fighting over a skateboard. I tell them to sort it out. Kai has a brainwave "I know Max, lets cut the skateboard in half".

Max is thinking about a helicopter and tells us he's going to have one when he is older. Kevin inquires about when he would use it. He tells us, "Only in emergencies".

I was telling the kids about the fish I saw in the water while snorkling. Kai asks, "Did you see a Dorey fish (the blue fish in finding Nemo)?". I tell him I did. "Did it talk to you?" he asks innocently. I tell him it didn't. "Next time, you see it, can you ask it to talk to you?". He is too cute. I can't burst his bubble. I promised to try.

I took the kids to see Charlottes Web at Bumbershoot theatre. On the way home Max is thinking about the girl who played Wilber. "Mom will we ever see Wilber again?" I try my best to explain that the pig was a person acting like a pig. "I know but if we Wilber takes off her pig costume and drives by us, will we see her?" Kai is listing to all of this and decides it is time to really explain things to Max. "Maxi, we can't see the pig, because Pigs don't drive."
