Home School, Science, Bread and Butter



So, this morning we did some experiments with the new chemistry kit and then I dropped Oliver off at his urban homeschool science class. I read a bit in the car, took a walk and bought a baguette at a crunchy granola hipster market. I bought some fancy French butter with sea salt, too, that was ridiculously expensive, and then I unashamedly smeared it on the baguette with my fingers in the car. I know that if I were sexy Nigella Lawson ya'll would think I was great and love her! but I'm just me, with sea salty buttery fingers and a half of a baguette in a brown paper sack in my white Mazda.

  1. I LOVE THIS POST. I remember eating a small jar of salted caramel with my fingers as I drove after teaching a particularly grueling violin lesson.

    NO SHAME.

  2. Elizabeth! She buys French butter with sea salt and smears it on a baguette. With her fingers! While waiting for her equally cool son at his urban homeschool. How fabulous is she?! She is so grrrrreat! Love her!!!!

    I do think you're fabulous. I really do.

  3. Pshhht, Nigella Lawson. She's got nothing on you! (And for the record, this is exactly why I keep a stash of plastic utensils in the glove box of my car because you never know when you might need to smear something lovely).
