A Chip off the Old Block

Peach Crumble Squares

Last night, Oliver, Henry and I worked for The Husband and manned a small booth at The Taste of Larchmont, a fundraiser for Hope-Net, an organization that helps the hungry and homeless in Los Angeles.

Restaurant and food places from our "village" donated food and drink in an evening of music and conversation. People strolled from place to place, sampling the food of many merchants. I don't write often about The Husband's mistress -- The Larchmont Larder -- but if you're in the area, you should definitely check it out.

I tell you funny stories all the time about The Big O, but I don't think I've ever touched on his extraordinary capacity for work. At ten years of age, he is capable of setting up, cutting and serving food, and he does so in a dedicated, meticulous way. That he's a mini replica of The Husband is never more evident than when he helps out like last night.

  4. Lovely. There is nothing more pride-inducing for me than watching my kids give back.

    And those bars look divine!

  6. I love seeing the similarities between those I adore most. Father, son, mother, daughter, grandparents, cousins...it's a lovely web of connection, isn't it? Blessings to you and your family, and to that "Mistress" of your Husband - may she prosper and increase! ;)
