We woke up early in the morning to the sound of Inga puking. She came into our room to let us know after the first time. She puked twice more--no school for her, obviously!
She also had to miss soccer practice in the afternoon. I dropped Ivy and Eric off to theirs and then brought the music holder back to the piano restorer. I made a few quick trips to my favorite furniture consignment stores (looking for a dresser for the bedroom in Le Chateau).
Dio helped me package up 14 books. I brought them to the Post Office, only to find out that their label printer was broken and they didn't know when the technician would be arriving to fix it! So I had to bring them back home and await the arrival of my own ink cartridges, which fortunately arrived later on in the afternoon.
I tried a new store's "panier surprise". It was a fancy organic grocery store and cafe. For 4 Euros, I got 3 pomegranates, 2 avocados, a big bunch of radishes, a head of lettuce, and 3 parsnips. We at the avocados for dinner in a salad and the pomegranates for dessert. The main dish was tuscan butter gnocchi, with enough leftover for another dinner!
The lettuce is taking a bath to plump back up again. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the parsnips because honestly I'm not a fan. That said, I haven't eaten them very many ways so maybe there's an amazing way to prepare them? Worst case I can oven roast them with salt & olive oil.
Here's to hoping no one else gets "le gastro."
