I went to Mikayla's house to play games with her and my mom, but then I suggested to Cora that she come to my house to cook/bake something. Cora loves to do anything in the kitchen and got a really great kid's cookbook for Christmas. She and I have looked through it several times and she was very keen to make something together. She was interested in making fruit juice popsicles, but we don't have the molds. We looked at granola and granola bars, but then Cora said, "In Amelia Bedelia, Amelia makes lemon tarts. Could we make those?" Indeed we could! She and Freya and Thea came back to my house and we set about making tarts.
Cora helped mix the crust, then roll it out and press it into the tart pan. Thea wanted to help too. We had to juice lemons which all three girls helped with. We had to whip egg whites because we were making lemon meringue tarts and all three girls helped with that part too. When it came time to try them, Freya was uninterested. Thea didn't love them, but Cora, Isabella, and I really, really, really liked them. They were sweetly tart (no pun intended) and looked beautiful. We took some home to the Johnsen's so everyone there could try them too. It was fun way to spend the late afternoon.
Cora made this at home and brought it along.
Doesn't that look delicious!?
It was!
