12/50

We watched history be made yesterday on the Capital steps in St. Paul. It was truly amazing and awe-inspiring to see so many people, so many families, gather in mass, all in the name  of equality and love.

Up to Lots of Fun

Blooming Art

Last weekend was Art in Bloom at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It served as a wonderful excuse to go room the galleries and see what was new. We found a variety of very cool new installations.

We also found a game set up in one of the galleries. It was like a table top i-pad in which you could pick categories and try to find which pieces of art went with which category. We ended up playing cooperatively and got a large group of older women playing with us. There was a lot of laughter and excitement and I think there was even some gained knowledge about the art.

Also Happy MAY DAY everyone!

Making Monday: Pizza

We jumped right in with both feet to homemade pizza. After having a variety of prior experiences with eating other people's homemade pizzas, we were extremely happy with our end product, plus we got an extra one out of the deal that we stuck in the freezer for later! We used the pizza dough recipe out of "The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making" by Alana Chernila. We highly recommend this recipe but also the book as a whole is fabulous.

Home

Here are some snap shots of home, as it is now, just before it is set to change.

Northern Spark Project Progress

These are very fantastic lino-block stamps which will be used to stamp secondhand clothing for our Northern Spark project.  We are quite excited about the progress so far.

2. Cut into shapes using cookie cutter.
3. In olive oil, fry up some tasty vegan apple sage sausage and kale.
4. Pile vegan sausage and kale onto pie crust.

Our White April Storm

Sometimes it snows in the middle of April, and you just have to walk slow and admire the beauty.

Color Photoshoot

Infinite decided to photographize Monster for a fun and colorful photo shoot with our room as a back drop.  Homemade bunk bed, colorful homemade quilt, and natural light.  Beautiful.

Making Monday: Blueberry Soda

We made blueberry soda by boiling blueberries in water, then blending, adding sugar and lemon juice, and reducing.  We added it to fizzy water and the result is quite tasty.

Findings this Week

Mexican pastries!

 Fun spot for a silly black and white photo shoot!

The Bachelor Farmer

We went to The Bachelor Farmer the other day.  Although a little spendy and too fancy for Infinite, the food was quite tasty.  Check it out: The Bachelor Farmer website. 

Making Monday: Bunting

Handmade custom bunting to replace crepe paper.  Easy and reusable.

Ukulele

He is probably teaching us more than we are teaching him.
