Pinta set the table the other night. She drew flowers and a
butterfly on the napkins and put out place cards. It looked very nice, and when
she said to me, “Dad, can I get a pitcher?” I heard the sentence,“Dad, can I
get a picture,” a liability of being a food blogger. When I reached for my
camera, she said, “No a water pitcher!”
So, if your kids are ever looking for something to do before
dinner, have them set the table. Give them the knives and forks and napkins,
but don’t forget the markers.
This brought back a childhood memory for me. As a 9 year old I created similar art for our family table using ink pens…which, of course, rubbed off at the first hint of oil or other liquid…
Ha – love it! It was so nice to meet you this weekend John!
