Since Stephen is three this year as we head into fall, he is loving watching for the signs of the season change. He and Auntie have also been studying about the seasons of the year, which I'm sure has a lot to do with it too.
We also added a new plant to our plant family yesterday. Meet George:
We are pretty excited for the opportunity to watch him grow indoors this winter. The plants we planted this spring are entering the end of their zenith, so we are keeping our eyes open for ones to keep inside. This particular plant was on discount, and therefore has no label of what type of plant he is (hence the name George).
BUN UPDATE:
I ended up cooking them in a cast iron skillet. The texture of the buns was really good; I was surprised at how good. Originally I thought they were almost bland, but Darling and Stephen liked them alot. By my second one :-) I agreed. Darling and I both think a frosting with nuts and/or raisins would be the perfect end to the buns. Additionally, when we make them again, I think I'm going to melt butter in the skillet, then coat the bottom with raisins (the original recipe called for one raisin per bun). I would recommend if you do use a cast iron skillet to serve it with a confectioners sugar frosting and serve it 'in skillet' as it makes a great presentation:
