Cooking with Olivia

o

Set up a makeshift kitchen outside

Take a cup of water, some dinette set dishes, a spoon…

Uncooked pasta,

mint, basil, oregano, rosemary, lavender and bay leaf.

Rocks of course.

We spent the morning pretending.

Olivia likes basil, pasta, and rocks, the rest forget about it.

I found a lovely old child's cupboard at the brocante. The makeshift kitchen.

    So Sweet! It is amazing how a great imagination can turn rocks (and in my day) grass and flowers into a culinary delight! Great find on the cupboard. Blessings

  2. How sweet and precious are the moments of childhood
    It’s a short lived season it should be full of magic

    My father made me a cabinet just like that one. I loved playing house with it.
    Many happy memories – but the cabinet has disappeared

    Oh, so darling! Olivia, the tiny budding chef! I see so much of Sacha in her sweet little face.

    Such fun! My sister and I “played house” inside an old willow tree that had either put up shoots or put down roots that had grown into a tree ring. This made it possible to shove boards between the trunks for shelves and we made mud pies from lovely Missouri clay in the creek that ran at our doorstep. We found that if we mixed egg into the mud, our mud pies were glossy, so occasionally would raid the chicken house. Weed seeds were used to decorate the tops of our pastry creations. It looks as if Olivia is going to be blonde.
