Which One is the Grossest... Speedos or Canned Peas and Carrots?

Nothing super special happened today. Things went the same as yesterday for the most part. The kids' lessons started later today because of the tides or something. And for some reason, I thought the lesson was 30 minutes later than yesterday's when it was actually an hour later. So when we got to beach, we were extra early. Since yesterday was so cold at the beach, I decided to bring sweatpants to put over my shorts while we waiting for the kids' sailing lessons to finish. Oh boy was I happy I brought them. We had the same weather as yesterday, minus the random sprinkling showers. Brooke and I decided we are going to start bringing French books to read at the beach. That way the two and a half hours won't be a total waste of time. Although, I don't think nap time is ever a waste of time... While sitting around on the beach today, a hairy French man was walking around taking pictures in a jacket. And it really looked like he was only wearing a jacket... Every time he walked by I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't want to be rude! Eventually he raised his arms to take a picture of something (there are lots of somethings to take snapshots of in France), and there it was! His small black speedo. Ew. But at least we knew he was wearing something! It's still going to take a while to get used to this whole speedo fad here...

For those who don't know, one of my jobs here is to cook every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and sometimes other days. Tonight was super easy, canned peas and carrots, sausage hot dogs called Knacki's, and of course, bread. I have never cooked canned peas or carrots before so I was a little nervous. Silly how such an easy meal could cause me to worry! We didn't know if we were supposed to boil them or kind of do a stir fry with them. So we tried to read the label, but there were no directions, then we looked online and saw that people mostly just put them in casseroles. I decided to just plop them into a pan with butter and salt. I knew that would be way too plain, boring, and gross for any of us to eat. Suddenly I remembered something my dad did! Whenever we had carrots for Sunday dinner, he added lots of butter and brown sugar. Oh man, those carrots are tasty! So I found the sugar and put a generous amount in the pan. When I tasted the peas and carrots, they were much better, but still too plain for me. It needed some seasoning. So I went searching through the cupboards, hoping I would find either rosemary or thyme. Luckily, I found both, and after mixing them in, the peas and carrots actually tasted good! I was so proud to see everyone go back for seconds and thirds until all the peas and carrots were gone!
