K is home from school with the chicken pox. Not fun. But we have been finding some ways to distract from the itchiness. So far they've included staring out the window at the birds eating from our bird-feeder and trying to identify which birds they are from a NZ bird book. We think this little one might be a Tauhou (silver-eye.) Whatever it is, it's keen on our bird seed mixture and that makes us very pleased.
We also made a batch of crackers, using this recipe (from 3 years ago on the blog- crazy.) I crumbled a bit of sea salt onto the dough before the last rolling of one trayful, and rolled some caraway seeds into the other half of the dough. It's always good to start the weekend with a full biscuit tin, at least, that's my philosophy.
