They took ferry to see Bremerton naval museum while E and I were at school (last day of 1st grade) and work. but then we got to join them at the Market. J stood in a long line to get Piroshky Piroshky! the line is so long nowadays that they've moved it out from the building to keep the sidewalk clear. yumm! everyone tried savory and sweet.

I got re-energized to try some delicious new recipes. C made a white bean chili that was perfect. we mixed in fresh corn on the cob (which is amazing) and avocado, cilantro, sour cream, ETC, plus R grilled cornbread (this was a hot day, we were avoiding the oven). it was delicious. i will make this again soon. i loved that she kept it vegetarian by serving roasted chicken on the side.
the C's were super nice to take e with them on their trip to Seattle Center. They went on the bus and got there despite my misdirections. They enjoyed a good long visit to the Pacific Science Center, and the new playground there.
M is a talented pianist. He played hymns, and old time favorites. it was so nice to hear.
While C made dinner (a delicious tomato soup!), i actually went to the beach with the kids. it was a weekday afternoon, so the crowds were absent. it was lovely to sit and relax and we were happy.

this slaw helped me remember how much i love cabbage and how we can put it on anything! here on toasted sour dough bread with some cheese... just add mango, lime, cilantro, a little mayo, salt, onion! a week later at this writing, and i've already made a big batch that we've just about finished.
and then this good visit ended. everyone ready for a long road trip. so they did it in one day also. just like the sister before and the sister after...
