[Edible Bird Nests]

03/26/200901/13/2017

My kids love spotting birds’ nests; especially now, in the leafless trees.  Yesterday as we walked T to preschool, J found one that had fallen out of a tree.  Of course, he wanted to pick it up, bring it home, and put it with the rest of his treasures.  I’ll take the hermit crabs, ant farms, fish,… Read More

This is my mother-in-law’s recipe (that right there should say it all, she is AMAZING).
