Horseradish Spoon

Only good girls who eat all their supper get to lick the horseradish spoon. Seriously they love it!

Onigiri Lunch

 
Checking out the art gallery is a lot of work so we knew we would need to bring lunch. Heather had the brilliant idea of making Onigiri. Onigiri is rice wrapped seaweed with a special center.

The ones we made were triangular in shape with a miso and green onion center. We bought fancy wrappers at a Korean market on the south side of Edmonton. These wrappers keep the seaweed from touching the wet rice. This way the seaweed is nice and crunchy when you go to eat it.

Here is a picture of Madeline eating her Onigiri.

Art Gallery of Alberta 2

Madeline liked the pictures of waterfalls by Walter J. Phillips. The Brian Jungen dinosaur skeletons made from pieces of lawn chairs was also a big hit.


Art Gallery of Alberta

We went to the Art Gallery of Alberta and checked out some art with the girls. Aunty Erin and Quinn came with us. The AGA always has a great kids art displays. This time they had an exhibit based around textures in art. The girls got to run around the room and collect rubbings of textures and manipulate pieces of art.
