Clotted cream and other British food

Have I mentioned to you my obsession with clotted cream?  It has to be the single-handedly most unhealthy food around here, and I love it.  Clotted cream is basically super fatty butter, and quite good as served traditionally with scones.  We usually only buy it once a month or so, because once the scones are gone, Anjie usually finds anything else to dip in it, including toast, strawberries, or really anything around.

But as far as unhealthy foods go, the UK is on both spectrums... biscuits (cookies) are a huge part of the culture, as well as beer, wine, and cheese.  But you can also get so much great fruit and veg all over the place at the stores and the street corners.  Ends up a pretty good balance.

First Day 4th Grade!

Orinda Country Cotillion

The Orinda Country  Cotillion  is a forty year community tradition sponsoring a series of seven evening dance classes and welcomes all seventh graders in Orinda.  The boys are girls are both broken into two sections, so every other dance is with the opposite boy group. Two of the dances are themed (a sock hop and country -western) and the rest are semi-formal.  Last night was the first dance in the seven dance series.  Kate and her friend Zoe had a great time.  They learned the fox trot and a line dance.  Seemed like fun!
