Today's adventures took us to the Dallas Farmers Market Demonstration Kitchen for Dallas Opera's Family performance of Bon Appetit! 
Susan Nicely tours the country portraying Julia Child, the eccentric French Chef. A local reviewer wrote, “With Susan Nicely’s lovely mezzo-soprano,
precise diction and sharp acting, Nicely plays Julia Child with a devilish
twinkle making this highly amusing short opera a delight.”
In the performance she sings her way through a mock TV taping of Julia Child's television show demonstrating how to make a Bittersweet Chocolate Cake. The program even include the recipe! Way too many steps for this A.D.D. mom! In prep for today's field trip we did Netflix a Julia Child episode, the movie Julie and Julia, and the kid's favorite, Dan Aykroyd's Saturday Night Live Skit as Julia, you know purely research!
Of course we met up with other homeschooling families, I include a picture of Frankie holding up our PEACH sign outside the Dallas Farmers Market. Every field trip we attend, Sissy is out front with the sign and a smile to greet our friends!
Inspired by the creative cooking, we then headed over to the Farmer's Market and picked out lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Tell me honestly, doesn't that make you hungry looking at all those yummy foods! And to prove the apple (or orange) doesn't fall far from the tree, Abigail and I had the same idea while sampling the fresh oranges!
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
