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.

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.

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.

Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda Pop

 
Today was Bonky's birthday! We don't celebrate her birthday very often. Since Madeline has been reminding us for the past few days we thought we would get some dessert and light some candles. To add to the festivities the girls made Lemon-Lime soda pop from the Pretend Soup cookbook. There was only enough for the two of them and they sure did enjoy it.
