a meeting with nathan hale
I’ve mentioned Nathan a couple times before. He is my friend from when we were missionaries for our church in Quebec. His latest book Calamity Jack
Nate, the cool illustrator that he is, didn’t just answer the questions, he turned the whole interview into a comic series. Click here to read the first one. Then you can keep going back to his blog everyday to see his latest post in the interview.
bok choy art
The other day, while making our Kung Fu Panda soup, I found that when I cut off the baby bok choy leaves, the end looked like a rose. How could I turn down a perfectly opportune time to let my children express themselves artistically? (Actually, I usually pass on craft projects. They make such a mess, and I’m usually behind on my housework, and any extra mess just puts me one step closer to the loony bin.)
I imagine you can do this with a large bok choy as well. You can also make stamps like this with the ends of celery, and probably endives. (In the past, I’ve tried to save the ends of celery for this very purpose, but alas, could not find the energy to encourage my children to be creative, and I tossed them out — not the kids, the celery stumps.)
